🚨 NEW SERIES ALERT 🚨 “ASCs and EP” is here!

Guidelines support AFib ablation. Patients want it. So why can’t they get in? 🤔

@DrRoderickTung and Dr. Rohit Malhotra talk about how lab capacity, not evidence, is holding care back, and how #AmbulatorySurgeryCenters (ASCs) could the care they need sooner.

Will #AmbulatorySurgeryCenters (ASCs) slow EP innovation? Dr. Malcolm Finlay says the opposite: “innovation feeding innovation.” 💡

@mcfinlay shares lessons from years of ASC-style EP in London with @Nashwa_Salem_ at #HRX2026.

What if a #pacemaker never needed a battery change? 🔋

Perpetua AI is exploring a self-sustaining, leadless pacemaker powered by the heart’s own motion, and took 2nd place at the #HRX2026 Pitch Competition.

@melchami99 talks with the team behind the innovation, @AdarshGBalaji Full interview here ▶️ bit.ly/4snaawA

Most substrate trials were randomized before mapping. IDEAL-AF randomized only patients with confirmed low-voltage zones ⚡ and the result was positive.

@atulverma_md and Astrid Nordin, MD, unpack the trial, recently presented at #ESC2026 and now in @JAMA_current.

Should intermediate-risk #AFib patients get a DOAC? 💊

In the late-breaking SINGLE-AF trial presented at #ESC2026, DOACs cut the primary composite endpoint by 69% vs. no DOAC. @melchami99 and @jeongboyeong6 break down the findings.
