#EHRA25 was again a great meeting in Vienna.
Proud of the good representation of Maastricht with even people missing on the photo…

On Sunday, 30 Mar, during #EHRA2025
@HermansBJM & @Farnir_Florent & @NorupJulie will present translational data on #PFA from our group 🙂
In the first poster session: 08:00 - 18:00
- Tailored pathway for focal #PFA in complex AF cases
- Visualization of focal #PFA lesions in MRI
Moderated ePosters 1: 13:30
- Effects of epicardial #PFA on ganglionated plexi
Would be great to see you there! 🙏

Excited to share that our latest research has been published in IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering! 🎉

We introduce composite maps—a novel algorithm for visualizing atrial conduction activity, with a focus on #AFib. 💻🔬

#EPeeps
Patient with moderate to severe atrial cardiomyopathy…
(See #EHRA_ESC consensus statement:
academic.oup.com/europace/ad…)
- LA dilatation
- Left atrial tachycardia and “pre-AF” (short runs of irregular atrial activation)
- low voltage areas anterior/septal
First:
Ablation of the focal atrial tachycardia (one application of focal PFA (Galaxy/Cardiofocus, 25A) -> non-inducible
Second:
WACA and anterior line (to prevent atypical flutter as a result of ATach and to prevent the progression to clinical #AFib) -> first pass.
True advantage of combining powerful focal monopolar biphasic PFA with state of the art mapping systems!

We systematically determined the optimal LGE threshold for detecting atrial ablation scar in dark-blood LGE CMR.

[2/3] Bipolar voltage maps were compared with IIR.
ROC analyses were employed to determine the optimal IIR threshold for LA ablation scar (≤0.15 mV).
Median optimal IIR threshold was 1.09, with an average sensitivity of 0.73, specificity of 0.75, and accuracy of 0.71.

🆕📰Our algorithm can automatically and reliably align pre-procedural cardiac images (CT/MRI) with anatomies acquired during ablation procedures.
This enables multi-modal characterization of the LA🫀

🆕📰 Online now!
Our study reveals that the supine-standing test does not outperform a baseline QTc in diagnosing LQTS.
However, it may still have value in arrhythmia risk assessment within individual patients.

New paper! Composite Mapping of Repetitive Atrial Activation Patterns during #AF by @ozanozgul ESR5 of the consortium, et al.
This paper emphasizes the potential of composite maps in analyzing RAAPs, highlighting the role they play guiding ablation procedures for #AF management.
We are making progress in enabling high-density and high-coverage composite maps of repetitive activation patterns in AF!
