When ER calls to say there is a #STEMI but patient is stable , you show up 2 minutes later and they are doing CPR. STEMI is never stable. #MedTwitter #cathlab @jedicath ⁩ ⁦ @DrQuinnCapers4 ⁩ ⁦ @djc795 ⁩ ⁦ @duanepinto ⁩ ⁦ @drdevireddy ⁩ ⁦ @ZaherFanari

@JamesDGeiger Looks bad … but I’d love to see that graph incorporate the year over year increase in “regulations” and “requirements” from insurance and government agencies. The bodies needed to keep up is insane!!! Demand drives the market… that’s true here as well.

@nat_echo If CT is not gated the movement of the heart/pericardium causes an artifact mimicking moderate or large pericardial effusion …especially if the pericardium is a bit thick and patient is tachycardia. You cannot judge the size of a pericardial effusion from a non gated CT.

Absolutely loved this event. @SCAI is hard at work to diversify the pipeline. We do not just talk. Like the true interventionalists we are … we act. Happy to be part of this positive movement for change. @SueroGregory @mmamas1973 @cardiojaydoc02 @TCTMD @commonspirit

What an all-star lineup to introduce med students to Interventional Cardiology! The @SCAI #DEI Committee’s “Ready to Launch” aims to expose diverse students to the specialty. Fewer than 5% of ICs are women, numbers just as bad for #URMs . Together, we can change this! #SCAI2023

@DrQuinnCapers4 Admission criteria isn’t set by you so that can’t be modified by you or applicant. Would be frank about the chances of acceptance but would not discourage. Also give alternative paths eg pursuing a masters with the knowledge that med school will be delayed but prob not denied

1/3Another week is here. The deadly battle continues. No time to discuss past failures, what would have been, could have been, should have been. The reality is the reality. No amount of blame or politicking will change that. The time for reckoning will soon come.

@arun_kahlon First inject IC vasodilator to make sure you are not dealing with vasospasm. All other vessels are pristine and patient is young. If true disease would offer a MIDCAB Lima to LAD. PCI with imaging as a last option … and NO .. I would not “nail” the ostium, very difficult.

@drabechacko @DrDavidWarriner @DavidLBrownMD @dr_benoy_n_shah @DrMarkMills Because PCI docs prescribe OMT. Why do some docs feel the need to disparage others cause they don’t do what they do? I am a “PCI doc”. I am an “Interventionalist”. I do prescribe OMT. I do place stents. I do diagnose and treat many other conditions. Because I am a Doctor.

@turilrh @mirvatalasnag @mmamas1973 @akbarul @evandrofilhobr @aksyksvsclb PCI can be done if we want to do it. Should it be done is the question. This is a case where I tell the patient “I can do PCI but PCI is not what you need. You need CABG. If you want PCI then you’ll have to find someone else. I’m not doing what I don’t think is right for you”.

@djc795 @GoldbergJBCTMD @ehj_ed @ESC_Journals @escardio @BoYangMD @drandrewsharp @STS_CTsurgery @AATSHQ @DrMoritzWvB You are absolutely correct @djc795 . The TAVR valves that are being removed and replaced by surgical valves, for whatever reason, are subject to the “perp walk” at conferences and social media while reoperations for early failed surgical valves are largely ignored.

@DrQuinnCapers4 PCI of the CTO so the patient can get their Txp. The politics of the policies regarding revasc Pre TXP can be sorted out with dialogue, education and mutual understanding but I wouldn’t allow the patient to die on this hill. It’s not their hill to die on.

@mmamas1973 @DrMarthaGulati @DrNasrien @NMHheartdoc @escardio This cannot be said enough. Talking about diversity without creating the vehicle or platform for it to take root and thrive cannot be seen as anything more than pretense. Intentions without action is useless especially when the action 100% depend on you.

Messi’s leadership goes beyond his play on the field. It’s the little things he does when the ball isn’t at his feet that make such an impact on teammates and his team. The leadership lessons here are profound.

Can we please make a call for practitioners to be more judicious in prescribing GLP-1s until there are more data to inform prescribing practice? The number of consults and office visits for syncope and pre syncope are quickly catching up with consults for “elevated troponin”.
