Most substrate trials were randomized before mapping. IDEAL-AF randomized only patients with confirmed low-voltage zones ⚡ and the result was positive. @atulverma_md and Astrid Nordin, MD, unpack the trial, recently presented at #ESC2026 and now in @JAMA_current. ▶️ Watch the full discussion on #YouTube: bit.ly/4yP7uKm #HRStv #EPeeps #AFib #ablation @hrsonline @MehakDhande @jczerpa @Nashwa_Salem_ @naijaQRS @alexandra_regia @kcole_12 @melchami99 @NaimaMaqsood9 @HeartRhythmNP @AZ_EP_DOC @OliverMonfredi @np_varghese

They made a splash! 🦈 Congratulations to our Allied Professional Shark Tank winners — Kate Spivak, PAC, FHRS, CCDS, took 1st place with MedLadderIQ, delivering personalized subspecialty-level intelligence for medical professionals, and @KBEPNP, claimed 2nd place with Transforming Ambulatory Cardiac Monitoring: From Black Hole to Bright Star. #HRStv spoke with both winners to hear more about their innovative ideas. @MehakDhande @jczerpa @Nashwa_Salem_ @naijaQRS @alexandra_regia @kcole_12 @melchami99 @NaimaMaqsood9 @HeartRhythmNP @AZ_EP_DOC @OliverMonfredi @np_varghese @atulverma_md

Prior authorization has become a significant barrier to timely electrophysiology care. The new Heart Rhythm Society and @HeartRhythmAdvo Position Statement: Prior Authorization in Cardiac Electrophysiology: Evidence, Policy, and Reform examines how prior authorization requirements affect patient access to guideline-indicated care, contribute to administrative burden, and impact outcomes across multiple EP procedures. The paper reviews denial trends, federal oversight findings, emerging policy reforms, and actionable strategies for physicians and institutions advocating for patients.

Day 3 brought the heat! New this year — Late-Breaking Clinical Trials — plus sessions on factor XI inhibitors for AFib, innovations in lead extraction, sudden cardiac arrest risk stratification, and so much more. And that's a wrap on #HRX2026! Thanks to everyone who made it unforgettable. 📍 Next stop: Dallas 📅 See you at #HRX2027, EPeeps! @MehakDhande @Nashwa_Salem_ @np_varghese @HeartRhythmNP @OliverMonfredi

Immediately following the #LBCT presentation at #HRX2026, Heart Rhythm TV host @np_varghese, sat down with @Drdevignair, to discuss First-in-Human Feasibility of Next-Generation 4D Intracardiac Echocardiography for Left Atrial Appendage Closure With or Without Concomitant Pulsed Field Ablation See the full interview here #EPeeps ➡️ bit.ly/4roAdTA

#HRX2026 Fantastic Hot Takes Exchange on the future of siteless trials. Hybrid is the way for now! @gregorymmarcus @josoriomd @URMed_DeptMed

That's a wrap on Day 2 of #HRX2026! Our team stayed hooked through sessions on leadless & conduction system pacing, ASC debates, AP Shark Tank, keeping the EP in PFA, tech for underserved populations, remote monitoring, pacing for hypertension & HFpEF, and so much more. Stay tuned #EPeeps, there's more coverage coming your way!

How can we use technology to predict sudden cardiac death ? @experienceHRX

Over coffee, casually hearing the origin story of PVI and AVJ ablation, pre-mapping.🤯 @experienceHRX #HRX2026 #EPeeps

What are Dr. @Mel_Gunawardene and Dr. @Elliott_AD most excited to see at HRX Live 2026 today? They’ve got their schedules ready — now they’re sharing what’s at the top of their list. ▶️ Check out the full program on the mobile app or online here: lnkd.in/eq6HHV3h #HRX2026 #Xplorers

#HRX2026 was so engaging yesterday I forgot to wordle, there goes my streak. What was it?

Health Equity in #EP with an international and multi disciplinary team. #HRX2026 #EPeeps #HealthEquity

Provocative discussion regarding gaps in cardiac device monitoring and patient engagement led by @deering_f and an expert panel including @DanFrenkelMD from @WMCHealth. @HRSonline @experienceHRX #HRX2026

What happens when you really look at the time behind remote monitoring? @HeartRhythmNP and Amy Tucker, MSN, RN, CCDS, FHRS just stepped out of “The Time Behind the Tasks: APPs and the 32 Steps of Remote Monitoring,” powered by @VectorRemote, and they’re sharing what stood out to them. From the realities of APP workflows to the work that often goes unseen, this conversation put a spotlight on what it takes to make remote monitoring work — and work well. ▶️ Hear their takeaways from the room. #HRX2026 #Xplorers2026

#HRX2026 AP sharktank is underway! Can we use AI to assit in MRI non conditional devices to MRI?

Truth: I love abstracts! They’re almost real-time research—you often hear about meaningful science well before the major publications. And not every important clinical question will ever be answered by a large RCT. #HRX2026 @HRSonline

#CIED using pacing "but not for bradycardia ". Can we use tools we already have to improve BP and HFpEF? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3948… #HRX2026

What is ahead in the innovation and ablation space? Dr. @NinoIsakadze interviewed Dr. @RMesubi to hear his insights following this morning's Innovation Summit presentation.

"The real nerd debate" (their words not mine) Is an ECG still the best tool? #hrx2026

At #HRX2026, HRS partnered with @RelayResponse to provide hands-on CPR training for hotel staff onsite, equipping more than 80 hospitality professionals with lifesaving skills they can use when every second matters. Special thanks to Dr. Beno Oppenheimer of Relay Response, Dr. Rakesh Gopinathannair (@drrakeshg1), Chair of the HRS CPR/AED Task Force, and Brianna Wolfe, HRS CPR/AED Task Force member, for helping bring this important training to life. This is what heart rhythm care looks like beyond the clinic: practical education, community readiness, and more people prepared to respond in a cardiac emergency. #HRXLive #CPRSavesLives #SuddenCardiacArrest #HeartRhythmSociety #EPeeps
