What do you do when a patient experiences recurrent PVC-triggered VF in the acute phase post STEMI and all drugs have failed? Check out our recent paper, describing a "bail-out" strategy for VF storm ablation in acute phase of myocardial infarction here: doi.org/10.1111/imj.15…

CA is safe & efficacious in pts with prior aortic/mitral valve intervention. Scar is perivalvular (PV) in 81%. But PV-related VT circuits were only present in 52% of pts & 9% had non-scar related VT! See our paper here 👇 doi.org/10.1111/jce.15… #AblateVT

In this systematic review, the substrate for VA in #Brugada wasn’t just localised to the epicardial RVOT! Catheter ablation was safe and efficacious. See our work here: doi.org/10.1007/s00392… #TeamVTWestmead

1/2 - Happy to share this most recent analysis from the British Columbia PVC Registry, examining the role of MRI in the evaluation of frequent PVCs. Great collaboration with Gaurav Gulsin Darra Murphy Mike Thibert. #EPeeps sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🚨Newest #OpenAccess Article in JICE Efficacy & Safety of Catheter Ablation as First-Line therapy for the Management of VT by Yasuhito Kotake K Huang R Bennett, Kasun De Silva Juliana T Campbell, SaurabhKumar, MBBS, PhD, FCSANZ, FRACP, FHRS & Colleagues 📖☕️ doi.org/10.1007/s10840… #EPeeps

Just published in JACC, our 3 part study comparing Alivecor sECG recordings with (1) EP study findings; (2) inpatient telemetry; (3) an RCT comparing sECG with multi day Holter for ambulatory patients. Details here ➡️ sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Just published by Richard Bennett from our group Westmead_Arrhythmia Westmead Applied Research Centre #WARC_USYD the novel MORTALITIES-VA risk score which predicts death/mortality following VT ablation. See full text here ➡️ internationaljournalofcardiology.com/article/S0167-…

We know progression from paroxysmal AF to persistent AF is associated with worse outcomes. And we know Cryoballoon ablation decreases progression vs AAD therapy. Join us at ESC for late-breaking science comparing cryoballoon ablation and RF ablation nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Our recent review on asymptomatic AF - in it we discuss important management differences between asymptomatic AF and Subclinical/DDAF. Dr. Marc Deyell Richard Bennett heart.bmj.com/content/early/…

Proud of my stellar cardiac techs who have embarked on a non traditional journey into research for the past 5 years with amazing results! Presented in 3 sessions at #CSANZ2023 as prize finalists. Well done Tim Campbell and Sam Turnbull !!

VT storm after hours? We took them to the lab after hours. Our multi national experience published in European Society of Cardiology Journals shows this approach to be safe and efficacious 👉 academic.oup.com/europace/artic…. A framework to approach is problem is presented. #Epeeps Richard Bennett Westmead Applied Research Centre #WARC_USYD

If you ever wondered whether AF progression differs based on the randomized PVI ablation energy please consider joining our ESC late breaking clinical trial update next Friday at 14:00 peterkistler MBBS PhD FHRS and Nassir Marrouche will also be presenting on PWI, and AI esc365.escardio.org/ESC-Congress/s…
