Presented at #ESCCongress: In patients with atrial high-rate episodes, edoxaban did not significantly reduce the incidence of stroke and cardiovascular outcomes as compared with placebo, but it led to a higher incidence of bleeding. Full results of the NOAH-AFNET 6 trial:

Nature versus nurture? Recruiting same-sex adult fraternal twins to investigate the origins of early heart beats. Participation: remote (from anywhere, no in-person visits); 2 weeks; free ECG monitor results; $50 amazon gift card. Please RT Ethan J. Weiss David E. Albert, M.D Vinay Prasad MD MPH

Our abstract entitled "Effectiveness of cryoballoon ablation for AF in patients with left common pulmonary vein variant: insights from a national multicenter catheter ablation registry" has been accepted for #EHRA2024 - see you at the posters session! escol.escardio.org/MyESC/modules/…

#EHRA2024 abstract on the effectiveness of cryo in left common PV variants based on the multicenter ICAR AF registry. Despite slightly lower rates of isolation success in the LCPV, the rates of AF recurrence and repeat ablation did not differ significantly.

Enjoyed participating in #EHRA2024 great lectures, late breaking studies, EGM tracing sessions, hands on wet labs. Also great debates with ep giants from all over the word.

Do all the recent advances in the treatment of #Afib make a measurable difference in society? Yep- ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, and death rates are all improving.

Congratulations to our incoming EP fellows. We look forward to working with you Adi Elias MD MPH, Hope Caughron, and Patrick Levesque. #fellowshipmatch UCSF Health Joshua Moss MD

Evidence that smoking IMMEDIATELY increases cardiac ectopy, including premature atrial contractions (#PACs), perhaps the most important determinant of #Afib and premature ventricular contractions (#PVCs), an important determinant of #heartfailure Sami Viskin Heart Rhythm Society

Significantly less acute brain emboli among left ventricular catheter ablation patients randomized to a transseptal versus a retrograde aortic approach per our The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute-funded #TRAVERSE trial. Thank you to our patients who helped design and implement the study, my generous EP

VIBRANT-AF Study Greg Marcus ZoEP Andrea Natale MD StopAfib.org Jonathan Hsu, MD Edward Gerstenfeld #HRS2025

Thank you #HRS2025 for an amazing week in San Diego! Proud to present our work from #VIBRANTAF, #ARCADIA, and #TRAVERSE. Great to catch up on innovations, EGM/EP anatomy sessions, and late-breaking trials. Always grateful for the support from Greg Marcus UCSF Cardiology

Visual auras attributed to #migraines after #catheter ablation procedures are NOT due to the transseptal (as shown in a randomized trial of transseptal v not) BUT ARE associated with acute brain emboli in the visual cortex. Strong work by first author and now UCSF Cardiology EP

Read the new article by Greg Marcus and colleagues, "Leveraging A Randomized Trial to Assess Relationships between Transeptal Puncture, Brain Emboli, and Migraine Symptoms" #OpenAccess heartrhythmjournal.com/article/S1547-…

Congrats to first-author and new EP Fellow Dr. Adi Elias MD MPH. His study highlights a link between visual auras post-catheter ablation for ventricular arrhythmias and small brain embolisms. heartrhythmjournal.com/article/S1547-…
