Recorded during HRS 2025, #HRStv host Mikhael F. El-Chami, MD, FHRS is joined by Julia H. Indik, MD, PhD, FHRS and Christopher R. Ellis, MD, FHRS to highlight the 2025 SCAI/HRS Clinical Practice Guidelines on Transcatheter Left Atrial Appendage Closure. These newly developed guidelines offer evidence-based recommendations on:

• Patient selection
• Procedural considerations
• Post-procedural management

With transcatheter left atrial appendage occlusion playing an increasingly important role in stroke prevention for patients with atrial fibrillation, this discussion is essential viewing for both electrophysiologists and interventional cardiologists.

In this update, #HRStv host Oliver J. Monfredi, MBChB, PhD, FHRS sat down with Thomas F. Deering, BS, MBA, MD, FHRS, CCDS, and T. Jared Bunch, MD, FHRS to discuss establishing an AF center of excellence. This interview highlights a key follow-up to the original AF Center of Excellence (CoE) white paper by Piccini et al. While the first paper defined what an AF CoE is, this new document outlines the criteria for establishing one — a critical step forward in advancing atrial fibrillation care. Sponsored by the HRS Quality Improvement Committee and the AF CoE Task Force, this collaborative effort includes input from nearly 20 multidisciplinary experts and 6 high-profile peer reviewers, all leaders in the field.
