On this episode, Overcoming Insecurity to Reach Your Fullest Potential. I want to help you push past your insecurities so you can lead powerfully, make a greater impact, and fulfill the call God has placed on your life. Insecurity is a silent thief - it robs you of confidence, clouds your judgment, and convinces you that you're not enough, even when God says you are. It causes you to second-guess your gifts, shrink in rooms you were called to lead, and hesitate when you should be taking bold, faith-filled action. When you're focused on what you're not, you miss out on what you are: chosen, equipped, and destined for impact. Insecurity keeps you surviving, not thriving—but you were made for more. That is what this episode is all about. Episode Quote: "Insecurity keeps your gifts locked inside, buried beneath fear, doubt, and comparison. When you question your worth, you withhold what the world desperately needs - your voice, your wisdom, your impact. You can't release your value when you don't believe you have any. You will sit at tables and not speak up. You will stand at the threshold of opportunities and not move forward. You will dream of what the future could be like and not take action. The antidote for insecurity is identity and action."This episode, like all Rise and Lead Podcast episodes, is highly practical and motivating.

Host Melissa E. Middeldorp, MPH, PhD, of the University Medical Centre Groningen & University of Adelaide, is joined by Andrea Robinson, MSN, ACNP, from Riverside Methodist Hospital, OhioHealth, and Jeroen ML Hendriks, PhD, RN, of Maastricht University Medical Centre, in this episode. The AF-EduCare trial investigated whether targeted patient education (delivered in-person or online) could reduce unplanned cardiovascular events in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The study found that while education improved patient knowledge, medication adherence, and risk factor awareness, it did not significantly reduce cardiovascular hospitalizations, emergency visits, or mortality compared to standard care. However, subgroup analyses suggested that younger patients, those without heart failure, and asymptomatic AF patients might benefit more from in-person education. The findings highlight that while education enhances patient engagement, comprehensive medical management and timely clinical interventions remain the key drivers of improved cardiovascular outcomes in AF care. Join us for this in-depth conversation about the trial. https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://academic.oup.com/europace/article/27/1/euae211/7964628 Host Disclosure(s): M.

Melissa E. Middeldorp, MPH, PhD, University Medical Centre, Groningen & University of Adelaide, is joined by So-Ryoung Lee, MD, PhD, Seoul National University Hospital, and Adrian D. Elliott, PhD, University of Adelaide/Royal, Adelaide Hospital, to discuss a study that compares atrial fibrillation (AF) epidemiology and risk factors between the UK Biobank (a predominantly European cohort) and the Korean NHIS-HEALS cohort to explore racial differences in AF incidence. Findings revealed that AF was more prevalent in the UK cohort than in the Korean cohort, with BMI and smoking showing stronger associations with AF risk in the UK population. Despite these differences, several risk factors, including hypertension and diabetes, were common predictors in both populations. The study highlights the complex interplay of lifestyle and healthcare system factors along with analysis of different large cohort studies in AF development and underscores the need for population-specific risk assessment and prevention strategies. https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://www.heartrhythmjournal.com/article/S1547-5271(25)00128-6/fulltext Host Disclosure(s): M.

Despite technological advancements in pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), progress in understanding AF mechanisms, structural changes, and phenotypic differences has been limited due to inconsistent terminology, suboptimal mapping techniques, and the complex nature of AF itself.

William Sauer, MD, FHRS, CCDS, Brigham and Women's Hospital is joined by Tobias Reichlin, MD, University Hospital Basel, Switzerland, and Nikolas Nozica, MD, Brigham and Women's Hospital, to discuss the Nature Medicine article Safety of pulsed field ablation in more than 17,000 patients with atrial fibrillation in the MANIFEST-17K study. The following is a brief summary of the study covered in the article. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is an emerging technology for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), for which pre-clinical and early-stage clinical data are suggestive of some degree of preferentiality to myocardial tissue ablation without damage to adjacent structures. Here in the MANIFEST-17K study, we assessed the safety of PFA by studying the post-approval use of this treatment modality. Of the 116 centers performing post-approval PFA with a pentaspline catheter, data were received from 106 centers (91.4% participation) regarding 17,642 patients undergoing PFA (mean age 64, 34.7% female, 57.8% paroxysmal AF, and 35.2% persistent AF). No esophageal complications, pulmonary vein stenosis, or persistent phrenic palsy was reported (transient palsy was reported in 0.06% of patients; 11 of 17,642). Major complications, reported for ~1% of patients (173 of 17,642), were pericardial tamponade (0.36%; 63 of 17,642) and vascular events (0.30%; 53 of 17,642). Stroke was rare (0.12%; 22 of 17,642) and death was even rarer (0.03%; 5 of 17,642). Unexpected complications of PFA were coronary arterial spasm in 0.14% of patients (25 of 17,642) and hemolysis-related acute renal failure necessitating hemodialysis in 0.03% of patients (5 of 17,642). Taken together, these data indicate that PFA demonstrates a favorable safety profle by avoiding much of the collateral damage seen with conventional thermal ablation. PFA has the potential to be transformative for the management of patients with AF. https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://doi.org/10.1038/s41591-024-03114-3 Host Disclosure(s): W.

Dr. Jason T. Jacobson, MD, FHRS, Westchester Medical Center, New York Medical College is joined by Melissa Robinson, MD, FHRS, Providence Heart Institute of Montana, and Dr. Sei Iwai, MD, FHRS, Westchester Medical Center, New York Medical College to discuss: BACKGROUND Factors determining hemodynamic stability during human ventricular tachycardia (VT) are incompletely understood. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to characterize sinus rate (SR) responses during monomorphic VT in association with hemodynamic stability and prospectively assess the effects of vagolytic therapy on VT tolerance. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing scar-related VT ablation. Vasovagal responses were evaluated by analyzing sinus cycle length before VT induction and during VT. SR responses were classified into 3 groups: increasing ($5 beats/min, sympathetic), decreasing ($5 beats/min, vagal), and unchanged, with the latter 2 categorized as inappropriate SR. In a prospective cohort (n . 30) that exhibited a failure to increase SR, atropine was administered to improve hemodynamic tolerance to VT. RESULTS In 150 patients, 261 VT episodes were analyzed (29% untolerated, 71% tolerated) with a median VT duration of 1.6 minutes. A total of 52% of VT episodes were associated with a sympathetic response, 31% had unchanged SR, and 17% of VTs exhibited a vagal response. A significantly higher prevalence of inappropriate SR responses was observed during untolerated VT (sustained VT requiring cardioversion within 150 seconds) compared with tolerated VT (84% vs 34%; P < 0.001). Untolerated VT was significantly different between groups: 9% (sympathetic), 82% (vagal), and 32% (unchanged) (P < 0.001). Atropine administration improved hemodynamic tolerance to VT by 70%. CONCLUSIONS Nearly one-half of VT episodes are associated with failure to augment SR, indicative of an underrecognized pathophysiological vasovagal response to VT. Inappropriate SR responses were more predictive of hemodynamic instability than VT rate and ejection fraction. Vagolytic therapy may be a novel method to augment blood pressure during VT. https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.2023.06.033 Host Disclosure(s): J.
