Thanks @MelbourneEPdoc for inviting me as faculty, congratulations on establishing the excellent and successful CIED (and EP) CSANZ courses!

I made a poster about magnet mode/asynchronous pacing 😀
Cardiac professionals - feel free to use. (e.g., when explaining what is going on to MRI radiographers, surgeons, anaesthesiologists etc.) #pacemaker #cardiacphysiology @PiCSA_au @thecsanz @APHRSOfficial @HRSonline

Not all HF is equal! Withdrawing HF pharmacotherapy in patients with a clear AF mediated CM and normalisation of LVEF appears safe and feasible. @drlouisesegan @escardio @peterkistler3 @BakerResearchAu @AlfredHealth

Discussing electrophysiology & advancements in cardiac care: leadless pacemakers, conduction system pacing & pulse field ablation for improving patient outcomes in Tasmania. Grateful for the opportunity! abc.net.au/listen/programs/h… #epeeps @lucybreaden @abchobart @TasmaniaHealth
Privileged to start pulse field ablation at @TasmaniaHealth . Great efforts by our cardiology/Cath lab team and the
amazing @Mel_Gunawardene for proctoring us! #epeeps @JoshuaHawson

HOT-CRT Trial
📌In a study of 100 patients, #HOT-#CRT showed a 96% success rate vs. 82% for BVP-CRT (P=0.03).
📌Both pacing techniques reduced QRS duration, with similar procedure times.
📌 LVEF ⤴️ at 6 months was greater with HOT-CRT (12.4%) vs #BVP (8.0%, P=0.02).
📌Safety was comparable, but HOT-CRT had fewer complications (6% vs 20%, P=0.03).

Very pleased to see our work published in @JCardioEP this morning - age should not be an absolute barrier in CA for patients with AF and systolic HF @peterkistler3 @davidchieng @DrHariSugumar @Vosko1984 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Congratulations @ALaGerche !
Proud to welcome A/Prof @ALaGerche as our newest Faculty member leading research into sports cardiology and sudden cardiac arrest. He’s been appointed head of a new Heart, Exercise and Research Trials (HEART) Lab based at @SVIResearch in Melbourne: victorchang.edu.au/news/hear…
Commotion cordis is uncommon but has high mortality. 2/3 sport related. However not sport related most often due to assault, in females mainly domestic violence. Important to 1. Increase awareness 2. CPR training 3. AED access. Dr Han Lim #aphrs2023
Cardioneuroablation practical approach by @foojhihui : 1. identity patient (tilt table/ilr) 2. Identity and ablate appropriate ganglia+verify result 3. Verify longer effect by symptoms, heart rate (variability). Further data needed on longer term efficacy #aphrs2023
Cardioneuroablation principles: 1 site location with anatomy, fractionated electrogram 2. High frequency pacing (20hz bursts), resulting in post pacing pauses 3. nerve stimulation (proprietary technology, not FDA/ce approved) @srissundaram #aphrs2023
1. Initial results encouraging with ability to avoid pacemaker implantation 2. Endpoint for ablation still difficult to establish 3. Zero fluoro workflow feasible @srissundaram #aphrs2023
Prevention of reconnection by endocardial sparing: interlesion spacing no more than 5 mm, avoid CF >10g #aphrs2023 @dr_andien
Walk back from #APHRS2023 to hotel, they weren't kidding about #Soala !
