Selfy of me with the meeting attendees sat at tables in the background, just before giving my talk about genetic testing

Last week was one of my favorite days of the year. New Zealand's Heart Rhythm Society meeting. That includes an afternoon symposium where we teach the various electrophysiology professionals of the country all about cardiac inherited diseases. #cardiogen

Happy, and slightly surprised, at the scale of voting for keeping the Māori ward in Wellington #nzpol

I was not successful in winning the Māori Ward. It would have been an absolute honour but democracy has spoken.

A huge congratulations to @ponekematt.bsky.social who will be an amazing Councillor and serve our people well ❀️ #nzpol

Is it non-capture, and the spikes are artifact of the pacing, not depolatisations? Also non-sensing if its in a demand mode. If there was capture previously, then maybe the pads need changing. Happily, the BP and O2 sats aren't that shoddy considering the pulse.

:-) ok, doesn't look like a pacing check, is it dislodgement of a lead?

Dont know, but the rate looks like 68 bpm which seems atypical for a PPM, and they are only visible in V1, and don't appear to be sensing or capturing appropriately so... not pacing spikes?
