Women with perAF have more symptoms, anxiety & poorer QOL at baseline. Higher AF recurrence in women but no benefit with adding PWI, 0% burden in both with more redos in women sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #CAPLA louise HeartRhythm

Great to work on the largest CT simulation to date of redo #TAVR feasibility in patients following S3 valves with Dr. Gilbert Tang Parasuram Krishnamoorthy MD DoctorKini and team Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital. Implant depth and commissural alignment - both affect #TAV-in-TAV options
