Grateful to have the opportunity to share this case and highlight Johns Hopkins Cardiology and #Baltimore! Appreciate the exceptional teaching and insights from Pranoti Hiremath, Vasanth Sathiyakumar, Monica Mukherjee MD, MPH, Steven Schulman and the entire CardioNerds team

Early repolarization is not always benign. This is the story of a 41 y.o. who had SCD related to ERS and walked out of the hospital. Incredible learning opportunity and humbling case. Johns Hopkins Medicine

#JACCCaseReports A healthy 41-year-old man sustained cardiac arrest secondary to #VF ➡️ extensive ischemic, structural, and genetic evaluation: normal. #ECG was notable for early repolarization pattern ➡️ jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… JACC Journals Garima Sharma M.D Jonathan Chrispin


Coffee and Real-time Atrial and Ventricular Ectopy (CRAVE) trial leveraging smartphone technology shows that ☕️ consumption in mostly young, healthy volunteers is associated with ⬆️ PVC burden, no difference in SVT burden (ITT), ⬇️ 💤 & ⬆️ physical activity #AHA21 AHAMeetings


Pre-excited to start electrophysiology fellowship at Johns Hopkins Cardiology in July and continue learning from this exceptional group!⚡️🫀Johns Hopkins Medicine #EPeeps

2021 ACC/AHA/SCAI Guideline for Coronary Artery Revascularization chaired by Dr. Jennifer Lawton and co-authored by Dr. Tom Metkus & Garima Sharma M.D along w/ colleagues is now available in press! We are proud of Johns Hopkins Cardiothoracic Surgery & Johns Hopkins Cardiology leadership in this important effort

1/ I had a blast writing this overview of Digital Health, Big Data, and AI in Cardiology for cardiology fellows and others new to the space. Thank you @ersied727 & American College of Cardiology #CardiologyMag for the invitation and opportunity. acc.org/Latest-in-Card…

New JAMA Cardiology paper from an international ARVC consortium. Higher ectopy burden over time increases ventricular arrhythmic risk.

Here's how we successfully managed refractory PVC induced VF in a young woman (spoiler: isoproterenol, quinidine, ICD, PVC ablation, and bilateral cardiac sympathetic denervation). Natalie Rosen Garima Sharma M.D Jonathan Chrispin #EPeeps

In patients w/ #NICM & scar on #whyCMR, core scar burden = strong predictor of clustered #ventriculararrhythmias, which have been associated w/ ⬆️ risk of mortality. More on this study from #EPeeps Rachit (Rick) Vakil, Jonathan Chrispin, Kathy Wu et al in #JACCCEP bit.ly/3QTv6ah


Congrats Julia CadrinTourigny Alessio Gasperetti, MD PhD Richard Carrick Ardan M. Saguner, MD and team on providing new insights into SCD risk in ARVC, leveraging the power of the international ARVC collaboration
