The first RCT to assess the benefits of a non-fasting strategy for #ICD/PM implantation has been published today @ESC_Journals
It is my honor to design and conduct this RCT together with Dr. Bode, Dr. Gerhard and @GerdHindricks. Big thanks to the team…https://t.co/YKQXf1YeRa pic.twitter.com/tzq2hel2MJ— Alireza Sepehri Shamloo (@ShamlooSepehri) June 23, 2022
