Finally, as always, my focal point on Thursday at #HRS25 will be the @CardiacEPS session from 11 am to 7 pm, room 33A-C. YIA poster session and amazing lectures, including Moe lecturer Dr. Dan Roden. Boxed lunches and cocktail hour for members. Be there! cardiaceps.org/s/CES-progra... #HRS25 #EPeeps

Last but not least, the symposium will close from 2:15-3:15 pm with "Civil Unrest: Heterocellular Interactions In Cardiac Arrhythmogenesis". Hopefully our chairs Drs. Clancy and Kohl can keep the melee relatively collegial. eppro01.ativ.me/web/index.ph... #HRS25 #EPeeps

Then, sticking in the same room from 11:45 am to 12:45 pm, we have "Neighborly Relations: Intercellular Communication And Electrical Propagation". This will include our "headliner" Dr. Ed Lakatta delivering the Zipes lecture! eppro01.ativ.me/web/index.ph... #HRS25 #EPeeps

Friday at #HRS25 will be dominated for me by the Basic/Translational Science Symposium!! From 10-11 am in Room 6A, we have "Welcome to the Neighborhood: Diversity of Heterocellular Interactions in the Heart" eppro01.ativ.me/web/index.ph... #HRS25 #EPeeps

... this will be followed by an invigorating Panel Discussion led by Dr. Ken Bilchick, presented as a roundtable session from 12:45 to 1:45 pm in the Exhibit Hall. Science on the main stage! eppro01.ativ.me/web/index.ph... #HRS25 #EPeeps

I'm also super excited to attend a pair of sessions on Saturday focusing on the creation of the New HRS Research Network. First, we will have a series of talks from 9:45 to 10:45 am in Room 29A – this one really has a blockbuster cast! eppro01.ativ.me/web/index.ph... #HRS25 #EPeeps

First up, I'll be giving a talk (yay!) in a session on Friday at 10 am in Room 30A-E: "Innovating Cardiac Ablation: Integrative AI Approaches for Personalized Arrhythmia Management". Please come say hi! eppro01.ativ.me/web/index.ph... #HRS25 #EPeeps

3/ Explainability is critical in medical AI. Tools like deliver great performance but also empower clinicians to verify and refine results, building trust in AI systems. A big step toward reducing arrhythmia-related adverse events and supporting sustainable ECG data analysis.

2/ Brought to you by Fleury et al. (senior author: Dr. Maison-Blanche). Game-changer for managing long-term ECG recordings!

🔑 Highlights:
• F1 scores: 99% for arrhythmia detection, 95% for AF, 90% for atrial flutter.
• Modular design enables explainability and manual adjustment of AI outputs.

3/ Takeaway from Dr. Uma Srivatsa's editorial:
“Prevention is key to addressing AF risk factors & reducing strain on underfunded systems.” www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #Cardiology #AFibCare #EPeeps

2/ 🔑 Key points:
• 43% of patients readmitted within 30 days.
• Cardiac issues were the primary driver.

Special thanks to collaborators Pranav Bhagirath, Marina Strocchi, Martin Bishop, & Gernot Plank for their contributions to this work! We hope you enjoy the review and look forward to your thoughts. 🙌

To advance the discussion, we propose a framework for more precise and granular descriptions of “Digital Twins” in biomedicine. Clear definitions will help ensure productive and responsible progress in this exciting field.

As we caution in the review, “To ensure this growth proceeds responsibly, we believe caution must be exercised to avoid cavalier use of the digital twin vernacular by biomedical researchers.

Digital Twins in cardiovascular medicine hold incredible promise, but realizing their potential is a long journey. Many foundational elements as articulated by pioneers of this field like Dr. Michael Grieves—like continuous real-virtual data exchange—remain aspirational in computational physiology.

Quantitative validation is needed, but this is truly interesting stuff! Congrats to the whole team! Read more great science at @heartrhythmsociety.bsky.social's #HRo2 journal!!

Many interesting findings here, but perhaps the most compelling – in patients who experienced a flutter recurrence following CTI ablation, T2-weighted CMR had a distinctly weaker pattern of hyper enhancement based on visual assessment.
