Our latest study in HeartRhythm shows increased risk of lead transaction and procedural complexity during extraction of Ingevity pacing leads. Important for extraction planning and lead design considerations. @melchami99 @wissam_mekary @FaisalMMerchant @danealson @emory_heart

Immediately following the #LBCT presentation at #HRS2026, Heart Rhythm TV host @Nashwa_Salem_, sat down with @danealson, to discuss Ventricular Intramyocardial Navigation and Tachycardia Ablation Guided by Electrograms (VINTAGE): First-in-Human Experience with a Novel Therapy for Refractory Ventricular Arrhythmias. See the full discussion here #EPeeps ➡️ bit.ly/4tMuCXi

What if we stopped chasing VT from the surface… and went straight to the source? Presenting VINTAGE (intramyocardial navigation + ablation) as a late breaker at #HRS2026 tomorrow. A new paradigm for deep substrate arrhythmias. Ventricular Intramyocardial Navigation and Tachycardia Ablation Guided by Electrograms (VINTAGE): First-in-Human Experience with a Novel Therapy for Refractory Ventricular Arrhythmias.

Novel Use of KardiaMobile Device to Assess For Vector Suitability for Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverted Defibrillator Implantation @danealson heartrhythmjournal.com/artic…

Happy to share our work on using the Kardia Mobile device to screen patients for S-ICD implantation

VINTAGE was effective at creating intramural ablation lesions and treating ventricular arrhythmias arising from targets traditionally considered inaccessible from the endocardium and epicardium, including infarcted myocardium. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacep… #JACCCEP #epAblation #EPeeps

"Roads...where we are going, we don't need roads." Happy to share our work @rimhalabymd @ChrisGBruce13 using VINTAGE for intramural VAs - first in human. We demonstrated that we can successfully navigate to "inaccessible" areas such as the LV summit, deep septum, and papillary muscles and deliver successful ablation lesions. More to come on this exciting new "space" in VT! jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacep… @melchami99 @FaisalMMerchant @BadhwarNitish

NEW Hands-On EP episode: #HRStv host @melchami99 is joined by @danealson to explore a practical technique for facilitating epicardial access: CO2 insufflation in the pericardium. See the full interview here #EPeeps ➡️ bit.ly/3GiXDpJ

@danealson presenting data on using upstream sinus electrograms to predict impending onset of VT/VF. Upstream sinus likely holds pathophysiologic insights to why arrhythmias occur and may open door to preventive strategies @experienceHRX @HRSonline @emoryheart @melchami99

Congrats @rimhalabymd! Exciting developments in this area — stay tuned!!! #ablatevt @FaisalMMerchant @melchami99 @AnandShah_MD

🔬Exploring AF through optogenetics: Our editorial delves into De Coster et al.'s study on 'electrically isolated conduction pathways.' Insights into future ablation strategies await. 📖 @S_NarayanMD, @StanfordCVI, @CircRes, @LUMC_Leiden doi.org/10.1093/cvr/cvae032 #EPeeps #AFib

Magnificent!😀 As @JoseJalife4 and @MarioDelmar3 have often said - 'self-organizing' spirals are ubiquitous in nature. Spectacular example! @atulverma_md @ReddyEPS @NTrayanova @javadm20 @ShaojieChen1 @TinaBaykaner @Mitch_Faddis @prash030 @sruiperez98

Happy to share our work on mechanisms of VF in explanted human hearts. Thank you to @DrManiCTSurgery for helping us with this endeavor. If you could also stop doing transplants at 3 AM, then I could get some sleep :-) tinyurl.com/2rbcbtfj @FaisalMMerchant @melchami99

Congrats @marvlu @EvanBlankMD and stephanie wang on finishing EP fellowship! #EPeeps

RT @BrototoD: #HRS2023 is incomplete without the tradition of @S_NarayanMD lab dinner! Great 😌 to catch up with this amazing family! @HRSon…
