Hard work by Kiran Sidhu reveals the staggering burden of VT in #LMNA heart disease is highly responsive to ATP but mandates iterative ICD programming. Usha Tedrow @hrsonline heartrhythmjournal.com/article/S1547-….

What percentage of VT can be terminated by ATP in patients with #LMNA heart disease? Usha Tedrow Kiran Sidhu Heart Rhythm Society doi.org/10.1016/j.hrth…

The answer was >90%. Only the very fastest VTs in #LMNA cardiomyopathy required a shock for conversion. Kiran Sidhu Usha Tedrow Heart Rhythm Society

Missed opportunity but also a health systems challenge. Need to develop an EMR up to the task and a means of communicating these results at scale. Great work by Svati Shah who is up to the challenge.
