Our computer system will die at the end of this year.

The system we have is almost as old as I am.

Bits of paper everywhere. Clinical risk off the scale.

A national embarrassment.

No EHR plans.

Dr. David Foley paved the way to develop complex CTO, and pioneered many interventional skills that the next generation is employing to this day. Dr. Foley died in 2021 of a left-sided brain tumor. @jcspratt tells his story. More at Is-Not-Here.com

This study by @McInerneyAngela provided insights into the impact of coronary calcium morphology on intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) outcomes. IVL shows consistent efficacy across different calcified patterns, ensuring optimal stenting results. Explore the detailed findings in the ://t.co/73atU3kcjJ

Non-ACLS PEA Algorithm.

Unlike the traditional "5H5T" approach, this algorithm utilizes ECG and POCUS to assess the etiology of PEA.

This study found that the hyperaemic stenosis resistance (HSR) index is more accurate than fractional flow reserve (FFR) and coronary flow reserve (CFR) in identifying ischemia-inducing coronary lesions. Additionally, an abnormal HSR measurement was a strong predictor of failure. The authors conclude that incorporating combined pressure and flow measurements, as provided by HSR, could improve risk stratification of coronary lesions during invasive angiography.

#imagefirst A little pop quiz with IVUS. What is the structure seen outside of the prox LCA at 6 o’clock called?

As a cardiologist, here is what I tell my patients

To help them lose weight and maintain muscle mass using nutrition.

Because most people have this all wrong.

Seriously #vodafoneireland, someone needs to proof read a bit more….

The majority of patients who present to the hospital with “new onset LBBB” are not new or due to acute coronary occlusion.

They’re either progression of underlying conduction disease or rate-dependent.

Sci Hub is a "pirate" website with 88M research papers freely available.

Using it is not advisable. We should all try to make billion-dollar acdemic publishers richer.

Here's a thread on integrating Zotero with Sci Hub to get free articles.

PLEASE DON'T DO THIS 😉

Relationship of Daily Step Counts to All-Cause Mortality and Cardiovascular Events: @JACCJournals

* So sorry for absent; many deadlines all at once :)

🥸 How Many Daily Steps Are Linked to Reduced Mortality and CVD Risk? 😱😱😱

Let'd do it 👇👇👇

🧵#Stat101: Did u know u can estimate Hazard Ratio (HR) & p-value for most clinical trials in under 15 seconds👉Heard of "Simplest Statistical Test" before? ⬇️

✅Assume RCT with 1:1 randomization⤵️
✅Ignore sample size & F/U duration
✅(a) event rate in control (b) event rate in Tx grouped)
🔴Calculate Z= (a-b)/Square(a+b)
🔴Estimate P-value from Z table below👇

For real🧐? Let's apply these examples to some real & published clinical trials!
