Around a third of patients don't respond to cardiac resynchronisation therapy. And up to 10% of implants fail to reach the target vessel at all.
Conduction system pacing aims to fix both — by recruiting the heart’s own His-Purkinje network instead of working around it.
@KennethEllenbo1 (VCU, past president @HRSonline) joins Professor Rudd (@jhfrudd) on the Heart podcast for a primer on conduction system pacing 🎧

30–40% of people will faint at some point in their lives.
About 1 in 10 cases is cardiac—and those are the ones that may significantly impact prognosis.
@MRuzieh joins bit.ly/3VjQdtZ on the Heart podcast 🎧 to discuss how we can identify cardiac causes most efficiently.

Did you know that the entire Heart podcast archive is now on YouTube?
More than 300 episodes, going back over a decade — every one a conversation with the authors behind the research, hosted by Professor James Rudd (@jhfrudd).
Whether you're commuting, running, or scrubbing in, you can now listen wherever you already are. Recent episodes cover how to manage elevated blood pressure on the ward, what prehabilitation before cardiac surgery actually involves, the best way to screen for atrial fibrillation, and how obesity drugs are reshaping cardiovascular medicine.
It's audio only — no video — but it's all there, free, and one click away.

What if cardiac imaging and clinical data could be used to create a personalised computational model of the heart?

A patient's BP reads 180/100 on the ward. Do you treat it?
Inpatient hypertension is one of the most common things we act on — and one of the least evidence-based. Dr Tara Chang (Stanford) makes the case that reflexively reaching for as-needed antihypertensives may be doing more harm than good.

Why has survival after a heart attack improved so substantially in England and Wales over the past 15 years?
Professor James Rudd (@jhfrudd) talks with Dr Sharon Ayayo (@ayayo_sharon) about her MINAP analysis—and whether medicines, coronary intervention, or other changes in care best explain the improvement.

Want to answer a complaint? Well now you can’t look at the records to do so? Who makes up this nonsense without consultation? While I agree we should protect privacy much of this is over reaching & seemingly doesn’t apply to Palantir digital.nhs.uk/data-and-info…

Medicine is a distinct & elite profession & I’m getting tired of people trying pretend that there’s a shortcut to the years of hard work it takes to become a doctor
Tiered rotas are nothing more than gaslighting patients into worse care
I’m glad it’s being called out publicly

Not all dangerous coronary plaques cause significant stenosis.
Understanding “high-risk” non-obstructive plaque may redefine how we prevent future cardiac events. 🫀
Excellent discussion featuring @jhfrudd and Dr Craig Balmforth on vulnerable plaque identification, imaging, and preventive cardiology.
