PFA is transforming EP, but remember — CIED patients weren’t included in IDE trials. Up to 20–30% of device patients may eventually need AF ablation. Real-world experience matters. Our case shows why vigilance is key when performing PFA in this group. #EPeeps #Cardiology

Presented at #ESCCongress:
Among patients with myocardial infarction and a left ventricular ejection fraction of more than 40%, beta-blockers did not lead to a lower incidence of death, reinfarction, or hospitalization for heart failure than no beta-blocker therapy. Full REBOOT trial results: nej.md/45QYbws
