NEW Left to Our Own Devices episode: #HRStv host @OliverMonfredi chats with @Nicky_P_MD about the management of vegetations around the time of lead extraction. They discuss when and how to aspirate vegetations and review a real-world case highlighting a successful vegetation aspiration. See the full interview here #EPeeps ➡️ bit.ly/4q0KYKq
I agree with @naijaQRS I feel like this just supports what's already happening.... low risk, no/low burden pts are often taken off AC post successful ablation.
For me these are and will continue to be an individualized decision - candid discussion with patients, review of available literature and recommendations and ultimately shared decision making

I believe we had scheduled it with RF... also has documented AFL and SVT (likely avnrt by history) so had planned to take care of all three at same time if we induced SVT

UpBeat by HRS is an invaluable resource for #EPeeps and their patients. Take a look today:
🥁 Your heart beats about 100,000 times a day, but what controls this amazing rhythm?
It's your heart's natural pacemaker called the sinoatrial (SA) node. This tiny cluster of cells sends electrical signals that coordinate each beat. A normal resting heart rate is 60-100 beats per minute. When this electrical system is disrupted, irregular heartbeats (aka #arrhythmias) occur.
Understanding your heart's rhythm is the first step to #hearthealth 🔗 bit.ly/3Js5XoR

Awaiting imaging - nothing "abnormal" was noted on previous Echo - but it was done elsewhere - all I have is a report... hence the surprise in the lab 😂
Usually me: “Ah yes, another persistent left SVC (classic ~0.5%).”
Staff: "Again" 🙄
Today: “Wait… interrupted IVC?! (hello 0.2% 👀).
Medicine: never boring. Always double-check before you commit

It was a redo, atypical AFL, we got catheters up and mapped the RA first, exchanged for the dilator and Versacross wire in SVC - noticed it right before going transeptal.
Last dose of OAC was previous evening
Received heparin
We Aspirated through the sheath
Did not go left sided
Ablated the CTI (partially reconnected) and bicaval scar
We mapped with Octaray and were using the faradrive sheath ????? Small catheter in a larger sheath (this has been reported with the Versacross Kinect for Watchman and pigtail)

First American pericarditis management consensus published today, special thanks to the writing committee, been my honor to chair this! @AllanLKleinMD1 @PaulCremerMD @ImazioMassimo Sarah Kohnstamm, Allen Luis, @V_Mardigyan @MMukherjeeMD @karen_ordovas @sneha_vk @GWohlfordPharmD
🆕 ACC scientific statement on the Dx & management of #pericarditis addresses diagnostic & therapeutic advances in acute & recurrent pericarditis & their complications, employing a multimodality imaging-guided therapeutic approach.
Get the details: jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.… #JACC
🧠 Mid-ablation surprise: clot on a prominent Chiari network in the RA.
Rare but real embolic risk.
What would you do?
➡️ Proceed with ablation?
➡️ Abort?
➡️ Anticoagulate & re-schedule?
➡️ When do you heparinize?
➡️ How do you manage oral anticoagulation peri-procedure?

AFib?
Your heart’s already doing extra—don’t make it fight bad food too.
💚 Eat smart.
🥦 Load up on greens, fish, whole grains.
🚫 Skip the salt, sugar, and junk.
Your plate can be your power.
How are you starting off your weekend?!?!?

CardioNeural ablation is such a promising option for a historically challenging cohort of patients. Future looks bright…

205 patients from 15 US centers that underwent cardioneural ablation with 78% freedom from recurrent syncope and 97% freedom from pacemakers.

@naijaQRS you and I are on the same page (no surprise there) - sometimes less is more.
We need to be mindful of this data - which may change how we select the right technology/procedure for the right patient… and certainly PW for all is not likely the answer!!
The most important data out of this past weekend for me was the NEMESIS-PFA study. PFA causes extensive collateral damage and LA dysfunction compared to RF. More ablation isn’t better. @AZ_EP_DOC #HRS2025 #EPeeps
The glue that holds HRSTv together!!
A very special thank you for the people behind the cameras who do all the heavy lifting @HeartRhythmTV. That’s a wrap for #HRS2025

Day 2 of #HRS2025 wrapped up with Ron Burgundy himself — and our Heart Rhythm TV team had the rest covered. From the opening plenary to Late-Breaking Clinical Trials, Shark Tank-style showdowns, global insights, and some serious FOMO from the APs Lounge… it was Anchorman-approved.
