In patients with HFrEF who were candidates for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), conduction system pacing (CSP-CRT)—using His bundle or left bundle branch pacing—was non-inferior to biventricular pacing (BiV-CRT) for the relative reduction in left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) at 6 months.

Diversity & Inclusion. Women in EP. Leadership across bias. #EHRASummit2026 — Tallinn 🇪🇪 Uncomfortable questions. No easy answers. What does it mean to build a career in EP without a template? How do we make modern electrophysiology accessible — regardless of gender, geography, or socioeconomic status? Country perspectives from 🇳🇱 🇹🇳 🇪🇸 reminded us: barriers differ, urgency doesn't. Electrophysiology should reflect the patients it serves — in its workforce, leadership, and science. That work continues. 💙 @escardio

Most EP specialists master the craft. Few learn to lead the field. #EHRA_ESC @DASCAMaastricht exists for that second group — and the application deadline has just been extended to 22 June 2026! This isn't another CME box to tick. It's the highest level of #EHRA_ESC's flagship educational programme, co-designed with Maastricht University, built specifically for arrhythmia specialists who want to move from clinical excellence into real leadership — in research, in institutions, in the future of EP. You leave with: 🎓 A Certificate of Advanced Studies from Maastricht University 🔬 An optional PhD pathway 🤝 Direct mentorship from European leaders in the field 📚 4 intensive in-person modules + online introductory session ⚡ ~55 hours of structured learning per module — small groups, hands-on, no fluff This is where the next generation of EP leaders is shaped. The window is still open — but not for long. Apply by 22 June 2026 👉 🔗 bit.ly/4fyZKWf @kvernooy @JordiHeijman @EmmaSvennberg @Dominik_Linz @mspartalis5 @KurathKoller @DS_DoreenSch @Phiso_de @SergeBoveda @joselmerino @DavidDuncker @simovicst

DANISH extended follow-up shows shifting causes of death in non-ischemic #HFrEF. ICDs help—just not in the way many expected. Fascinating nuance jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.… #JACC #epICD

Echocardiography is one of the most complex medical image sets to analyze, with multiple views + cardiac motion. A new @Nature paper shows how A.I. can do that and provide accurate reports @David_Ouyang nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
