Hosted by Dr. Niraj Sharma, this bi-weekly podcast distills high-impact cardiovascular and EP research into clear, clinically meaningful insights. Each episode goes beyond headlines and abstracts to uncover what new studies actually mean for patient care, decision-making, and the future of electrophysiology. What EP Edge Journal Watch stands for: Evidence-based practice Precision electrophysiology A forward-thinking, edge-driven approach to how we interpret and apply data in real-world clinical settings. Whether you’re an electrophysiologist, cardiologist, researcher, trainee, or allied health professional, EP Edge Journal Watch brings you the signal — not the noise. Expect sharp summaries, thoughtful commentary, and practical takeaways designed for the busy clinician who wants to stay ahead of the curve","last_synced_at":"2026-07-20T20:18:25.367003+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ep-edge-journal-watch-7561379"},"episode":{"title":"EP Edge Journal Watch Issue 16: 11 New EP Trials on AF Ablation, SVT, Anticoagulation, PFA Safety, VT Pacing, and OHCA","slug":"ep-edge-journal-watch-issue-16-11-new-ep-trials-on-af-ablation-svt-anticoagulation-pfa-safety-vt-pacing-and-ohca","published_at":"2026-03-23T09:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ep-edge-journal-watch-7561379/ep-edge-journal-watch-issue-16-11-new-ep-trials-on-af-ablation-svt-anticoagulation-pfa-safety-vt-pacing-and-ohca","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ep-edge-journal-watch-7561379","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/846b7bfb","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/846b7bfb/c3bd0d88.mp3","summary":"In this episode of EP Edge Journal Watch , Dr. Sharma reviews 11 important new studies shaping modern cardiac electrophysiology, arrhythmia care, and cardiovascular risk management. This March 2026 issue covers intravenous amiodarone in preexcited atrial fibrillation , the NURSECAT-AF randomized trial of nurse-led care after AF ablation , left bundle branch area antitachycardia pacing vs right ventricular ATP , varenicline for ventricular ectopy after myocardial infarction , and the first clinical experience with reversible electroporation mapping in atrial flutter . The episode also examines abelacimab vs rivaroxaban in older patients with atrial fibrillation from AZALEA-TIMI 71 , device-assisted vs standard Valsalva for supraventricular tachycardia , the first reported case of severe pulmonary vein stenosis after pulsed field ablation , and the COBRRA trial comparing apixaban vs rivaroxaban bleeding risk in acute venous thromboembolism . Rounding out the issue are a nationwide analysis of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest on the first weekday after holidays and why the 2026 ACC/AHA multisociety dyslipidemia guideline matters directly to EP clinicians. This is a practical, evidence-focused review of where electrophysiology is heading: smarter AF care pathways, safer anticoagulation, better mapping, more physiologic pacing, improved SVT management, and a broader understanding of sudden cardiac risk .
