Excited to share our latest work featured in Heart Rhythm🫀⚡️
Our study explores the temporal evolution of LGE-CMR enhancement following focal PFA, revealing substantial lesion regression at 3 months. 🫀📉

🔥 Beyond placebo!
Does AF ablation really improve quality of life?
Our meta-analysis of sham-controlled RCTs shows that with AF ablation:
✅ +13.5 AFEQT points
✅ 51% lower AF recurrence
✅ Benefit beyond active-treatment controls
....and this is with SHORT follow-up and an "active treatment" control!

See...real medical science exists. This is important work trying to sort out the findings of Gunawardene et al showing late coronary events after PFA
PFA has been great, but it is still VERY EARLY and we need to keep our guard up for adverse effects both short and long-term
There's much to learn about PFA and I am glad there are academic folks looking into these matters
‼️ Now online in the #EHJ @ESC_Journals: The Vasc-PFA study
📖 academic.oup.com/eurheartj/a…
@ehj_ed
Our study provides important insights into the acute coronary vascular effects of monopolar biphasic #PulsedFieldAblation
🔬 Key findings:
👉 Acute, localized endothelial dysfunction occurs following coronary exposure to PFA, while vascular smooth muscle function remains preserved.
👉 The effects are site-dependent: endothelial dysfunction was least pronounced after cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation and most evident following great cardiac vein (GCV) and epicardial PFA.
👉 Selective endothelial injury with preserved smooth muscle cell function may explain the observed vasomotor dysfunction and why nitroglycerin can rapidly reverse clinically apparent coronary spasm despite persistent endothelial impairment.
📌 Why does this matter?
Anatomical factors may influence electric field delivery and the degree of coronary exposure. The findings also raise important questions about the potential relationship between acute endothelial injury and delayed coronary complications, including myocardial ischaemia, ventricular arrhythmias, and longer-term vascular remodelling.

In FARAPOINT™ PFA Series: Advancing Ablation Workflow, Performance and Clinical Impact, Dr Dominik Linz discusses how controlled energy delivery and application strategy can influence lesion depth during pulsed field ablation.
He highlights how increasing the number of applications at the same location can support deeper lesion formation, with experimental data demonstrating reproducible lesion creation across different application approaches.
The discussion explores how controlled lesion delivery may support evolving focal PFA workflows and procedural optimisation.

Permanent Pacing but not for Bradycardia
👉🏻Super interesting discussion on what can be achieved by clever pacing @experienceHRX
First:
- physiological pacing #LBBAP and #BBP
Second:
- optimal heart rate and optimized AV coupling
This opens options for hypertension and HFpEF treatment …
A lot of studies:
