Sharing work from our group, especially as we question paradigms of clinical screening for FH and elevated Lp(a): www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... It is turning out that standard risk factors like LDL cholesterol and clinical/family history may not be adequate.

#EPeeps It's not very exciting, but I see this get missed over and over. Less subtle repeat in the thread. #ACHD

Do #EPeeps believe in AVNRT upper common pathway (block)? This patient had: 1. AH jump 2. Septal VA < 80 ms 3. Concentric A during SVT 4. During RVP: (Stim-A)-(V-A) > 85 ms 5. During RVP: PPI-TCL > 115 ms 6. SVT terminated by RV burst pacing 7. Ablation in TOK rendered non-inducible

#EPeeps My best trick for right anterior/anterolateral pathways is to use SR0, flex catheter until it points straight down, advance sheath to SVC-RA junction, and unflex onto the annulus. You see the angle achieved in Fig 1…you have to take my word for the stability but often better than IJ access.

#EPeeps I am strangely amused by this. Epicardial pacemaker with failing atrial lead, left in place as VVI backup in case of dislodgement of new transvenous system. "V sensing episode" corresponds to interrogation of new system:

Patient is s/p cardiac surgery with temporary epicardial wires in place. This pacing behavior was seen back and forth, also correlating with 15-20 mmHg systolic BP changes. What could be done to prevent this from happening? @jeffreyvinocur.bsky.social

#EPeeps What explains the multiple rhythm changes across the course of this strip? Hint: there is no oversensing, undersensing, or loss of capture.

#EPeeps I never knew this theoretical framework for thinking about multi-level block. It’s nice to have something to explain why we see so much more 4:1 (2:1 and then 2:1) than 3:1

60,000 / 924ms = 65 bpm Pacer no longer functioning in dual chamber mode, but rather VVI mode. And pacing at 65bpm. Medtronic dual chamber pacemaker, reached ERI, pacing at VVI 65 bpm. 😅
