My Recent Talk on AF Ablation at the Brazilian EP Society

A few months ago I opened this site to paid subscribers. I did not post anything behind a paywall. Yet a shocking number of you became supporters. Here is a gift.

Today I will post a lecture I just gave at the Brazilian EP society. This will be a gift for those who have become paid subscribers. It’s only 5 dollars per month, but thank you. (In fact, I am thinking that perhaps once a month, I will post a lecture as a gift to paid subscribers.)

The lecture was a debate regarding the use of AF ablation in patients with heart failure. I took the approach that AF ablation can be helpful but in only a small minority of patients with heart failure.

Two days before our debate, the American guidelines came out and upgraded AF ablation to a Class IA recommendation in patients with heart failure. Class I indications are major. The surprise announcement rendered my argument even more relevant.

Thank you for your support. Here is the lecture. The embedded video is below:
