I just had a PFA on 08/29/2024 in Miami, FL. What an amazing, painless, & quick procedure. If for any reason I have to have re-done, hands-down, I will!!! I was able to discontinue the Amiodarone immediately following the procedure (mainly due it messing up my thyroid) without any adverse reactions. I am so pleased so far with the outcome of my PFA and would highly recommend it if your Electrophysiologist suggests it.

A wonderful, informative discussion on challenging procedures.

excelente!!! muchisimas gracias

nice

I think decreased time under sedation, less exposure to radiation are key benefits. If safety and efficacy are equivalent then the only concerns would be unexpected longer term negatives which are unknown unknowns. Cost is a fair point but what proportion of the total cost is just equipment?

Trying to save their business

Muy buen video

Would love to hear the opinions on type of anesthesia and the "elderly" for pulse field ablation. Thanks.

How are the nodes or pathways that have to be cauterized to stop the erratic electrical impulses from the heart from going all over the place identified?

This the most common sense discussion about PVC and cardiomyopathy I have heard. I would like to have you look at my case.

Thank you Prof Mervat and Prof Felix for highlighting the energy and growth of EP in Africa, while recognzing the enormous remaining needs! Africa has the talent and its EP community is rising fast.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🩵

Good talking points! Thanks guy!

Hi. Will we have a video on POTS?😢😢

This is such an important topic and I'm thrilled to see HRS tackle it. This is especially important for people with implanted heart devices. The recommendations from the 1990s are to "avoid contact sports". This recommendation was created in an era of Fidelis and Riata lead failures, but devices and leads are much more robust today. Combined with better implant techniques and products designed specifically for protecting implanted devices today's athletes are much more protected than years past. I love the physician's shift in attitude from protecting the patient to returning the athlete to play. This is absolutely the right course to take. Thank you HRS for researching this important topic in detail.

Thanks.... Excellent 👍👍👍👍

Well Enjoyed the video🙌 I'm not really sure if it is the best time to ask but, I was wondering if I can help you create better distribution through your videos?

Great program ! Thank you !

This is an awesome video that should be required watching by cardiologists! How can I become part of the research?

Awesome. The hospitals are acting as anti-free-market cartels when they use non-compete clauses.

Very best video ❤

Superb

My creator & doctor is above!

What can we learn from Europe which has been doing FaraPulse for over a yr. with more than 40,000 procedures completed?

Great info for patients!

“In patients with AF without risk factors for stroke…” does such a person exist? AF itself is a risk factor for stroke.

Thanks 🙏 for sharing this

Great information 👍

what about atrial septal defect? after this type of procedure, the defect is larger than usual (~20 Fr if our ICE catheter 8 Fr)

I'm inspired by the authenticity of your video. What are the key findings discussed in the study "Natural history of echocardiographic changes in atrial fibrillation: A case-controlled study of longitudinal remodeling"? Running a dream interpretation channel, I often strive to enhance the visual and auditory appeal of my videos to better engage my audience. I'm truly grateful for the informative content shared in this video and have liked and subscribed to your channel for more insightful updates.

Kudos to Dr. Liu and all heart rhythm doctors for continuing to fight on behalf of patients, not health insurance, medical device / pharma, or health system conglomerate companies!

Is there any study compared with RFA,PFA and cryoablation for PFA

Great work! Thank you for sharing

Great work! Thank you for sharing

Job openings is any available. I'm clinical analyst

Great overview of the CNA procedure and results. Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you for explaining about the hartblok. Ik was 13 jears old when they found out. With 20 years i received my first pacemaker in the Netherlands, also the first patiënt with 2 leads in the Netherlands to the hart. Now i am 62 jears old, healthy, do a lot like walking and biking and 2 years to go for the next pacemaker nr. 5 My first cardiologist was a Professor in Belgium, dr Andre Vliers.

Pull up Magnesium Taurate and how it helps a person's body deal with Atrial Fribulations.

What is your ablation plan in patient with persistent af, whether you prefer only pulmonary vein ablation or pulmonary vein plus posterior wall ablation.

Great talk. Question regarding Trial Population published in NEJM, table 1, section (No. of episodes of SCAF lasting ≥6 min during the 6 mo before randomization), Why is 0 episode documented as part of the patient population since they were never included? Thank you

Your video is excellent. I am not a doctor but I read a lot about heart rhythm issues and I am happy to see how you think about this. I have about 12 and 10 PAC PVC at 24 hours Holter. But sometimes, once a month, I get a short run of PVC, about 3-4 consecutive beats. I did blood tests, two echocardiograms of the heart and one echo of the carotid, and multiple x-rays and I was checked by 4 cardiologists. They all say that my heart is healthy with no detected abnormalities but I am concerned about those short bursts of 3-4 consecutive PVC that come back every 4 weeks or so. I have 51, a BMI of 37, am nondiabetic, have no alcohol, and former smoker. I also verified this multiple times but, I noticed that the vast majority of single PVC and PAC I have happens when I bend over and I am bloated. 90% of them. Especially if I am stressed at work. I try to eat right and I do not do drugs. I just want to make sure that those short PVC runs will not turn into a sustained VT episode.

)))

I was diagnosed with AFib 2 months ago. I am almost 86 yrs. old. male. Should I still consider ablation at my age?

Is this an option for SVT?

You are so needed in EP!!!

Dr, pena que meu convênio METRUS não dá mais direito à equipe de arritmia do HCOR. Eu fiquei internada ano passado 4 dias na UTI com 140 bom, mas não pôde ser feita a cardioversao pois havia pequenos coágulos.Mas foi feita a terapia de antiarritmicos venosa e reverteu.Depois disso o coração passou a ter frequência baixa de 45 a 50 bpm.De 2 semanas pra cá tive 2 episódios de arritmia e um deles foi hoje, 21 de janeiro de 2024.Eu tenho um aparelho que marcou em várias medições, de 45 à 138 bpm e a pressão arterial tb variou de 9 x 8 à 15 x 8 .O que o sr pensa disso ? Será que terei que implantar marca-passo? E existe essa possibilidade em pacientes portadores de prótese mitral biologica ? Prazer te reencontrar aqui ! Médico humano, competente e maravilhoso! Lembra de mim né? Abraço querido!

Maravilhoso encontrar vc aqui dr Juan, médico maravilhoso ! Gratidão eterna !
