A new simplified way to diff VT & SVT with aberrancy: The 2 mc methods are the Brugada & Vereckei. In 2022, the "Basel criteria" was published "Fig". It has similar accuracy to the previous 2 but is way easier & ⬇️ the time to Dx at every experience level (attending>>resident).

3/ The PS should answer at least 3 basic questions: A. Why IM? Not medicine in general; you are not applying for medical school. B. Why You? Do not write "I am hard-working, enthusiastic, .... etc.). Mention one or two examples that show these qualities.

9/ Final tips: - Don't reiterate your ERAS CV achievements; you can put them in context. - Don't go >700 words - Don't overuse literary expressions & complex vocab (The purpose is to deliver a message, not to showcase linguistic ability). - Always stay humble & true to yourself.

6/ Please stay away from cliche stories: I chose IM when I saw a relative suffer from disease X. I am sorry you experienced this, but it isn't enough to justify an entire career. You may even come across as immature, making lifelong decisions based only on emotional experiences.

The benefits of Beta Blockers are being re-examined across different cardiac indications (e.g., secondary prevention after MI, HF, etc). Most of the guidelines we have are based on historical trials (e.g., pre-reperfusion therapy).
