I won’t be looking at Twitter anymore as it’s no longer a nice place to be. You can find me on other social medium platforms if you like 👋

Focal left atrial tachycardia terminated by a single 90W burn (4s) using QDOT. Immensely satisfying!

📅 SAVE THE DATE! 📅 #BHRSessions 4th - 6th March 2025 @ RCP in Edinburgh. In addition to our main 3-day conference, don't miss the bolt-on training sessions on Monday 3rd. This member-only event offers essential education & updates for all arrhythmia professionals and trainees.

Macro re-entrant right atrial tachycardia mapped with Octaray & Carto 8. Interesting circuit located just above the IVC. @AdemK0C

Summit VE with successful ablation in the distal coronary sinus. Used Optrell for mapping, but it was the ablation catheter, advanced deep into the CS that gave us the answer.

What is happening here? A very good educational trace from an external defib.

Lots of good replies, some of which are right! It is typical flutter with a very long, spontaneous, RR gap. As the defib only sees small amplitude signal it automatically increases the gain by 8x. The result is that the same p waves, now look like 1:1 flutter. Easy to mistake!

Right atrial tachycardia mapped with 🐙. Interesting conduction delay but focal origin.

Odd to be travelling 250 miles south, to attend an event called ‘North VT’, but enjoying the views of the real North East as I go.

Left atrial map collected with Optrell & Carto 8 shows a prior roof line (with a gap) and an intact floor line. Clear transition from red to purple in this small territory, including a transition zone. Really enjoying getting to grips with this new technology.

On the train to Edinburgh; applying the finishing touches to my talks for the @ScotCardio ST4 Training Course. Welcome to Cardiology in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 new trainees! I can only apologise for how hard the ECG quiz is. Remember it’s the taking part that counts 🤣 @russeverett3 @VeraLennie

Everyone loves to receive a certificate - especially one with a surfer on! (No, I don’t understand it either) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3488…

Mitral flutter despite previous mitral line. But where is the gap? Smart Index shows us exactly where! One 🔥 later and back in sinus. #Carto8

Cupcakes in the EP lab today to celebrate the arrival of Carto 8. First centre in Scotland with access to this upgrade and one of the first in the UK. Another win for our patients. @BiosenseWebster @Tina2310 @AdemK0C

Epicardial VT ablation: bipolar scar map and a limited activation map (as VT not well tolerated). Excellent signals in VT and ablated to non inducible. Supported throughout by my superb team @NHSGrampian @BiosenseWebster

Has my first use of the Nitron CryoConsole this week. Great to be the first centre in Scotland using this technology. Very exciting times for EP in Aberdeen.
