I’ve been implanting LBBAP leads in hundreds of ex-vivo hearts, and see entanglement and subsequent endocardial delamination often.
Maybe it’s nothing, I’m not a clinician, but it sure looks scary when it happens.
Want to hear what people think of this.

#EHRAtopicweek on Complications in EP
The Second Victim 💙
Complications also affect us.
Many physicians experience:
💭 Self-doubt
💔 Guilt
😔 Shame
🌫️ Loss of confidence
We are trained to manage complications—but rarely taught how to cope with their emotional consequences.
❤️ Self-compassion isn't weakness. It's an important part of professional resilience.
Remember:
Treat yourself with the same kindness you would offer a colleague.
🤝 You are not alone—supporting one another is part of patient safety.

🫀 DCM SCD risk: LVEF is not enough.
5 pillars:
1️⃣ Genetics (LMNA, FLNC, DSP, PLN)
2️⃣ CMR (LGE: 4.75× ↑ risk)
3️⃣ ECG/Holter (NSVT, PVC, TWA)
4️⃣ Biomarkers (NT‑proBNP, hs‑TnT, sST2)
5️⃣ EPS (inducible VT/VF)
💡 Integrate → personalize.

💬 Editorial: HeartSync-LBBP found #CSP superior to #BiVP for heart failure outcomes, whereas PhysioSync-HF found CSP inferior, emphasizing the importance of patient selection and operator proficiency.

Afib recurrence after CA isn’t just about PV reconnection — it’s a dynamic interplay of inflammation, fibrosis, autonomic dysfunction, and non-PV triggers. A precision, patient-specific approach is the future!

Κάπως έτσι λοιπόν το 8ο ΕΣΦΙΕ (Επιστημονικό Συνέδριο Φοιτητών Ιατρικής Ελλάδας) έγινε το πρώτο (και ενδεχομένως μοναδικό?) μεγάλο συνέδριο ιατρικής στη χώρα, στο οποίο δεν υπήρχε ούτε μισό stand φαρμακευτικής εταιρίας...
Κάτι για το οποίο ήμασταν κ παραμένουμε πολύ περήφανοι.😃

Τώρα που ηρέμησαν τα πνεύματα, θα πω μια ιστοριούλα από εποχής #Σημίτη, όταν ήμουν φοιτητής Ιατρικής @ Γιάννενα.
Ανήκα τότε στην ΕΕΦΙΕ (eefie.org/el/) της οποίας κεντρική δραστηριότητα ήταν η διοργάνωση του ΕΣΦΙΕ (ετήσιου επιστημονικού συνεδρίου των φοιτητών ιατρικής).

Spent the weekend in Karpathos, a remote Greek island, offering free cardiologic consultations to 60+ patients. Proud to support this @HCSgr initiative, providing much-needed care to underserved communities. Grateful for the experience! @hcs_young @KanakakisJohn
