The latest video in our partnership with @DGlaucomflecken summarizes the results of the VANISH2 trial, which compared catheter ablation versus antiarrhythmic drug therapy for ventricular tachycardia. View the full article for free: nej.md/DrG16
So proud of my mentor Dr Bill Stevenson, receiving the prestigious Pioneer in Cardiac Pacing and Electrophysiology!!! #HRS2025 #AblateVT @johnlsapp
Catheter Ablation or Antiarrhythmic Drugs for Ventricular Tachycardia | New England Journal of Medicine nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
Presented at #AHA24: Among patients with ventricular tachycardia and ischemic cardiomyopathy, catheter ablation as an initial therapy led to a lower risk of adverse outcomes than antiarrhythmic drug therapy. Read the full VANISH2 trial results: nej.md/3Z5ECOD
@Dr_ChrisSimpson @HamHealthSci @machealthsci @SCC_CCS Stuart's work has been profoundly impactful, changing care for the better around the globe. A huge loss for us all.
Dr. Stuart Connolly was a giant in Canadian cardiology. His impact is felt by millions of patients worldwide. A profoundly meaningful life and legacy. He will be sorely missed. @HamHealthSci @machealthsci @SCC_CCS obituaries.thespec.com/obituary/stuar…
@drjohnm @djc795 @f2harrell @CMichaelGibson @GreggWStone @stephensenn clearly limits studying mortality benefit of some interventions in humans, especially if the intervention might also influence symptoms.
@drjohnm @djc795 @f2harrell @CMichaelGibson @GreggWStone @stephensenn Time to first event definitely has its flaws, but some trials of a treatment strategy will have a large number of cross-overs after 1 or more events. And many patients/clinicians would not agree to randomization if they perceive no bailout option.
Follow-up at a median of nearly 14 years showed a survival benefit for patients who received cardiac resynchronization with a defibrillator as compared with those who received a defibrillator alone. Read the full RAFT trial results: nej.md/3vF31OS
1. Today I presented the late breaking results of our clinical trial examining AF progression after catheter ablation. This was a long-term follow up of the CIRCA-DOSE population, a group of 356 patients randomised to Contact force RF or Cryoballoon PVI doi.org/10.1161/CIRCUL…
ICMYI last week at @AHAMeetings! NEW evidence supporting cryoablation reducing the progression of #Afib compared to drug therapy! 75% reduction in the progression to persistent AF with cryoablation! Congratulations @DrJasonAndrade and the EARLY-AF investigators! #EPeeps @NEJM

@DrJasonAndrade @dgwyse I am so sorry to hear of George's passing. He has been an inspiration in so many ways.
Please consider taking this medical research survey? It's from a research friend at UBC. We really need to understand the effect of the pandemic on willingness to help when people see someone with a cardiac arrest: ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0w… Please share widely. Thanks.

EARLY-AF is now in print at @nejm I extend a hearty thank you and congratulations to all 18 of our collaborating sites, committee members, coordinators, and most importantly, patient partners. @UBCDoM @VCHResearch @msfhr @HeartandStroke @CANet_nce nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
CPR training can save lives years later, heroes in the family!
What a great story, both for this young man and his family, for man's best friend and for emergency services coaching his wife through CPR, leading to a happy ending. Go Ciorsti, great interview
Congratulations Martin Gardner, Royal College 2020 Mentor of the year for Atlantic Canada!
