Cardioneuroablation practical approach by FOO JHI HUI : 1. identity patient (tilt table/ilr) 2. Identity and ablate appropriate ganglia+verify result 3. Verify longer effect by symptoms, heart rate (variability). Further data needed on longer term efficacy #aphrs2023

Commotion cordis is uncommon but has high mortality. 2/3 sport related. However not sport related most often due to assault, in females mainly domestic violence. Important to 1. Increase awareness 2. CPR training 3. AED access. Dr Han Lim #aphrs2023

First RCT showing improvement in mental health with AF ablation vs drugs. Symptoms related to AF are more than physical! jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/… Ahmed Al-Kaisey John Mandrola, MD

Congratulations Andre La Gerche !

HOT-CRT Trial 📌In a study of 100 patients, #HOT-#CRT showed a 96% success rate vs. 82% for BVP-CRT (P=0.03). 📌Both pacing techniques reduced QRS duration, with similar procedure times. 📌 LVEF ⤴️ at 6 months was greater with HOT-CRT (12.4%) vs #BVP (8.0%, P=0.02).

Privileged to start pulse field ablation at Department of Health, Tasmania . Great efforts by our cardiology/Cath lab team and the amazing Melanie Gunawardene for proctoring us! #epeeps Joshua Hawson
