Congrats @emilyswlau! Couldn’t be anyone more deserving!
Huge congrats to @emilyswlau @MGHHeartHealth @MGHWomenHeart @mghcvrc for being this year's ACC @DougZipes awardee! 🎉 Incredibly well-deserved honor for an amazing clinician and scientist

Worth a watch for anyone interested in sports cardiology, exercise science, and EP

Sports Cardiology is placing increasing emphasis on shared decision-making in the management of arrhythmias and risk. The importance of arrhythmia management in athletes is explored in our Harvard Grand Rounds on Sports EP.

👇🏼 Very proud of these novel data, potential clinical impact +++
Great collaboration between @ZOLziekenhuis & @JessaZiekenhuis, @GLW_UHasselt 🇧🇪

Sports cardiology concerns interactions b/w heart disease & exercise. This interaction can lead to arrhythmias requiring a skilled electrophysiologist.
Thrilled to welcome Dr. @eugenechung01 to our Sports Cardiology Team and Cardiovascular Performance Program @MGHHeartHealth!
Thanks for sharing our new work @JSawallaGusehMD @shaan_khurshid
Do you really need CPET to estimate exercise capacity?

One of most viewed this month:
Accelerometer-Derived “Weekend Warrior” Physical Activity and Incident CV Disease
Physical activity concentrated within 1 to 2 days associated w/ similarly lower risk of CV outcomes to more evenly distributed activity.

SCA can affect anyone. Thank goodness @itsBronnyJames received prompt care.

In a new study from @shaan_khurshid @alalusim_md @TimChurchillMD @JSawallaGusehMD @patrick_ellinor @MGHHeartHealth, researchers find that “Weekend Warrior” physical activity provides similar heart-related benefits as more regular exercise.

This is a game changer for discussions with my patients.
MUCH easier to get people moving a few days a week vs 5 or more.
I am pleasantly surprised with these outcomes.
KEEP MOVING.
Debunking the myth of the weekend warrior risk.
Same cardiovascular benefit for ≥ 150 minutes of physical activity/week, irrespective of number of days

Exercise every day vs 'weekend warrior'? For busy professionals, an important question.
Led by @shaan_khurshid and using objectively measured physical activity, we share data defining impact on CV outcomes of different exercise patterns.
Worth a read

We're seeing an influx of consumer wearables devices in cardiology clinics, with CV clinicians asked to interpret and integrate these data into medical assessments. We've written a review to help demystify this complex subject.

We summarize important metrics, how they are measured, and how they may be interpreted, including the important absence in many cases of adequate normative data.
Like it or not, wearables are here to stay, and this is an important and rapidly evolving topic for the CV clinician. Thanks to co-authors and @JACCJournals
