Hosted by Dr. Niraj Sharma, this weekly podcast distills high-impact cardiovascular and Cardiac Electrophysiology and arrhythmia 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, arrhythmias analysis 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":"2026-09-14T18:19:31.787966+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ep-edge-journal-watch-7561379"},"episode":{"title":"EP Edge™ Journal Watch Issue 19: Atrial Fibrillation Ablation, Conduction System Pacing, GLP-1 Therapy and Arrhythmia Risk","slug":"ep-edge-journal-watch-issue-19-atrial-fibrillation-ablation-conduction-system-pacing-glp-1-therapy-and-arrhythmia-risk","published_at":"2026-04-20T09:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ep-edge-journal-watch-7561379/ep-edge-journal-watch-issue-19-atrial-fibrillation-ablation-conduction-system-pacing-glp-1-therapy-and-arrhythmia-risk","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ep-edge-journal-watch-7561379","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/0e29b2f7","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/0e29b2f7/86861187.mp3","summary":"In EP Edge™ Journal Watch Issue 19 , Dr. Sharma reviews the most important new studies in atrial fibrillation ablation, conduction system pacing, device therapy, and real-world arrhythmia risk . This episode covers a large multicenter analysis linking cannabis use with higher rates of atrial fibrillation, tachycardia, premature beats, and ventricular arrhythmias ; the LEAF study on liraglutide and AF ablation outcomes in overweight and obese patients; and FARS-AF II , which suggests a pulmonary vein physiologic signal may help identify PVI-only responders better than traditional paroxysmal-versus-persistent AF labels. The episode also examines the growing role of vein of Marshall ethanol infusion in persistent atrial fibrillation , the ChiCSP study on long-term outcomes with His bundle pacing, left bundle branch pacing, and left ventricular septal pacing , and a practical paper showing how pacing site can affect subcutaneous ICD screening eligibility . Additional highlights include a device infection prevention study comparing chlorhexidine pocket irrigation versus antibacterial envelope use in high-risk CIED procedures , and a novel EP maneuver using NPP , or the number of pacing stimuli needed to attain a plateau post-pacing interval, to help define proximity to a re-entrant atrial tachycardia circuit . This is a high-yield episode for electrophysiologists, cardiologists, fellows, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and allied EP professionals who want a clinically focused review of the latest data in AF ablation, conduction system pacing, S-ICD strategy, CIED infection prevention, and cardiac electrophysiology practice .
