A new EHRA presidency ❤️ A new chapter for #EHRA_ESC. What should EHRA look like in the years ahead? In the latest #EHRA_ESC Cardio Talk – Keep the Rhythm podcast, @micaela_ebert, Chair of the EHRA E-Communications Committee, talks with @HaranBurri, incoming EHRA President, about his vision for the future of EHRA. 🎧 Listen: bit.ly/4g3l5aa This week, #EHRATopicWeek asks: what should EHRA’s priorities be for the future? #EPeeps #Electrophysiology #EHRAEducation #ScientificInitiatives #DigitalHealth #PatientInitiatives #YoungEP #ECommunications #Electrophysiology #Leadership @purerfellner @SergeBoveda @SteliosTzeis @DanielScherr3 @DrCherylTeresEP

How low should we go with BP in atrial fibrillation? Our #ESC2026 study, simultaneously published in @EuropaceEiC , suggests a “sweet spot”: 🔹 SBP ~120–130 mmHg 🔹 Avoid DBP <75–80 mmHg 🔹 Lower is not always better In AF, both numbers matter. bit.ly/4yeNyQB #AtrialFibrillation #Hypertension @ElnazShmohamadi @melissaemm1 @Elliott_AD @JonathanAriya

68.4% of arrhythmia professionals have had no training in equity or inclusive care. Only 25.1% work somewhere with a formal diversity policy. New #EHRA_SICsays 🎙️ with Maura Zylla & @simovicst on the EHRA survey on diversity, equity & inclusion in arrhythmia care. ▶️ Watch the video 👇 📄 Read more here : bit.ly/4d0Drq6

4/4 🧵 Why? The apparent discrepancy between these 2 papers is largely explained by differences in study design & analytical approach, not by conflicting evidence. Critical appraisal, is essential for interpreting the medical literature! (⏫to 1/4 to understand more!) @drjohnm

1/4🧵 CSP is the future of pacing, but evidence is still evolving. In this issue of @EuropaceEiC, 2 meta-analyses compare #CSP and BiVP in #HFrEF. Our editorial discusses why a careful interpretation of these apparently conflicting results is essential. 🖇️tinyurl.com/chkv8k3t

#EHRAtopicweek on Complications in EP The Second Victim 💙 Complications also affect us. Many physicians experience: 💭 Self-doubt 💔 Guilt 😔 Shame 🌫️ Loss of confidence We are trained to manage complications—but rarely taught how to cope with their emotional consequences. ❤️ Self-compassion isn't weakness. It's an important part of professional resilience. Remember: Treat yourself with the same kindness you would offer a colleague. 🤝 You are not alone—supporting one another is part of patient safety. 🔗 Read the study bit.ly/4fexJBl

#EHRAtopicweek on Complications in EP When things go wrong? Stay calm. Communicate clearly. Assign roles. Call for help early. The first minutes matter! When complications occur: ⏸️ Pause and assess the situation. 💬 Communicate clearly with your team. 📋 Follow established protocols. ☎️ Escalate early when additional support is needed. 🧘 Remember that calm leadership is contagious. The best operators aren't those who never encounter complications—they're those who manage them effectively. 🔗 Read the study: bit.ly/4fjwsZV ❓Question: What's the most valuable lesson you've learned during a difficult case?

#EHRAtopicweek on Complications in EP The best complication is the one that never happens. Complication management starts long before entering the EP lab. Remember: ⚖️ Appropriate patient selection 📋 Careful procedural planning 💬 Team preparation and communication 🔄 Knowing your bailout strategies 🙋 Never hesitating to ask for help Preparation isn't just technical—it's mental. 🧠 📑 more here: bit.ly/4fjwsZV

#EHRAtopicweek on complications in EP Serious complications after AF ablation are uncommon and have declined over the last decade. Recent studies show that: ⚡AF ablation has become safer over the past decade. ⚡Major complications remain uncommon after AF and AFL ablation. ⚡More complex procedures carry higher risks—VT ablation has ~5-fold higher complication rates than AF/AFL ablation. ⚡Growing procedural complexity has contributed to a modest increase in overall complication rates across EP procedures. ⚡Accurate complication reporting matters—and individual case review remains key. Modern EP is safer than ever—but not simpler. ❤️‍🩹 🔗 Read more: bit.ly/4fovNXd bit.ly/4br2hyI

Complications are an inevitable part of EP ❤️‍🩹 Serious complications have become rarer over the years — but every electrophysiologist will face them sooner or later. This week's #EHRAtopicweek is dedicated to prevention, management, communication, and the human side of complications. 🎧 New #EHRA_ESC Cardio Talk – Keep the Rhythm, with @GerdHindricks @simovicst & @micaela_ebert 🔗bit.ly/4fSJxtt – Prevention before the procedure – Managing complications when they occur – Leadership and teamwork in difficult moments – The emotional impact on physicians and teams – Creating a culture of learning rather than blame

🫀 #EHRATopicWeek | Vascular access in EP What are the main vascular closure techniques, and how should we choose between them? 🔹 Arterial access: Vascular closure devices are generally preferred over manual compression. 🔹 Venous access: Several effective options are available. Both manual compression and subcutaneous figure-of-8 suture provide reliable hemostasis but require several hours of immobilization. 🔹 Venous closure devices (suture-based or collagen plug systems) enable very early ambulation, but at the expense of higher costs. ➡️ In everyday clinical practice, the choice of closure technique should be individualized according to the primary procedural goal (e.g. early ambulation, cost considerations, or workflow).

🫀 #EHRAtopicweek | Vascular access in EP How common are vascular complications in everyday EP practice? Ultrasound-guided vascular access significantly reduces the overall vascular complication rate (1.2% vs. 3.2%) compared with the conventional approach (meta-analysis including 1 RCT and 1 observational study). ✅ Shorter puncture time ✅ Higher first-pass success ✅ Fewer puncture attempts ✅ Fewer inadvertent arterial punctures ✅ Benefits both trainees and experienced operators Ultrasound-guided vascular access should become standard practice in every EP lab.

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
