Really important study using @Pacemate data. Loop recorders have variable performance with real clinical implications. More to come!
Not all loop recorders are equal - our analysis using @Pacemate data. Important to select based on indication and patient #ReducingAlertBurden #CHRD @adelaideuni Manuscript: authors.elsevier.com/a/1mc2p…

It was an incredible pleasure to join @nmarrouche @westernAFib last week. Incredible content and great opportunity to learn from some of the best in the business.
Can’t wait to see @jfreeMD join the @westernAFib faculty next week in #Utah! #wafib2026

Nice review on the topic. Wishful thinking that AF is won’t recur for many.

Congratulations Andrea!
Congratulations to Andrea Natale, MD, FHRS, winner of the 2025 Wilton Wells Webster Lectureship Award at #HRS2025. His lectureship was titled "Innovations in the Advancement of Care in Patients with AF in the Last 3 Decades: A Chronicle of My Journey." #EPeeps #LectureshipAward

Our study showing resource utilization and cost of care increase substantially with AF in patients with symptomatic obstructive HCM.
Atrial fibrillation adds substantially to the economic burden in patients with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. #AHAJournals @jfreeMD ahajrnls.org/4mMeHoJ

Always a joy to work with @jeffrey_vinocur. Pushing the field of ACHD arrhythmia treatment. @YaleCardiology
#EPeeps “Just a PVI” @jfreeMD making it look easy with left transhepatic transseptal access and left internal jugular ICE. My contribution was to cannulate the CS. Antegrade from groin to interrupted IVC to right hemiazygos to persistent right SVC.

Our study showing that rates of stroke after LAAO remain steady over long term 5- year follow-up demonstrating the durable effectiveness of the therapy.
Long term #stroke outcomes in Medicare patients after LAAO are low and similar to randomized trial data. #AHAJournals @jfreeMD ahajrnls.org/4oOnZSr

🚨 New in Heart Rhythm: This is BIG ICD battery longevity varies by 2–3 years depending on manufacturer and number of leads. 🔋 Newer devices last 2–4 years longer. 📉 Each additional lead = 2–3 yrs less battery life. 📈 Key drivers: manufacturer, pulse width, output. We need to select our devices carefully - data from a large remote monitoring service 📄 doi: 10.1016/j.hrthm.2025.05.031 #EPeeps #Cardiology #ICD #DigitalHealth

There are few in this world who were such forces for good as @atulbutte. His dazzling intellect, relentless curiosity, generosity of spirit, boundless charisma, and infinite optimism left a mark on everything he touched and everyone lucky enough to know him. An enormous loss.

This is when MAUDE really serves a vital role. Early surveillance for safety issues. Nice study.
Post-market surveillance for the EV ICD system, collected from the MAUDE database, shows a number of complications not previously seen #AHAJournals @rranjanMD @shah-in-boots @tjaredbunch doi.org/10.1161/CIRCEP.125.0…

Excited to publish our study on ICD battery longevity in @hrs_journal. Each additional lead costs 2-3 years of longevity, newer devices have an additional 2-4 years of longevity for all manufacturers. And yes- there are real differences by manufacturer!
