Cardiac electrophysiology has developed into a broad, exciting, and challenging subdiscipline of modern cardiology. The professional opportunities available to electrophysiologists are diverse and offer a wide variety of career goals. The aim of this article is to show young cardiologists what different career paths can look like if they opt for electrophysiology today. Personal testimonials from five experienced electrophysiologists on their own career paths show decisions, support, obstacles, and destinations of these paths to practice or university professorship. This article aims to support young cardiologists who are considering specialization in electrophysiology during their career planning.

Background: In developing countries evidences regarding pulmonary hypertension (PH) in rheumatic heart disease (RHD) patients are lacking, despite being responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. As a result, identifying the factors that influence PH is crucial to improve the quality of care.
Objective: To determine prevalence of pulmonary hypertension and its associated factors among rheumatic heart disease patients at the public hospitals of Bahir Dar city, Ethiopia.

Echocardiographic Z-score models play a crucial role in defining cardiac pathology in paediatric patients. There are multiple models that practitioners utilize in the United States without guiding principles to standardize their use. Discrepant interpretations can occur depending on the model chosen, even if standardized Z-score cutoffs are applied.
