OH MY GOD THIS IS SO COOL a real life ER doctor gathered patients' charts from the show with clinical timelines, differential diagnosis, medical decisions, and clinical pearls.
thank you so much Dr. Saidi i'm so using this for my ER rotations next year ๐ฅน

๐จ 10 striking conclusions from ESC 2026
1. HFmrEF is essentially gone.
ESC now defines HFrEF as LVEF <50% and HFpEF as โฅ50%.
2. MRAs have broken the EF barrier.
Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists now have a Class I recommendation in chronic HF irrespective of LVEF. Semaglutide/tirzepatide receive Class IIa recommendations for HFpEF with obesity.
3. SINGLE-AF: anticoagulation may start earlier than we thought.
In AF patients at intermediate stroke risk, DOAC therapy reduced adverse clinical outcomes by 69% versus no anticoagulation.
4. Severe TR is no longer just โgive diuretics and watch.โ
TRIC-I-HF: transcatheter tricuspid repair reduced HF hospitalisation and all-cause mortality compared with medical therapy alone.
5. Unexplained syncope deserves early prolonged ECG monitoring.
ASPIRED: immediate 14-day monitoring did not prevent recurrent syncope, but substantially improved arrhythmia diagnosis/treatment and was associated with lower mortality.
6. Intermediateโhigh-risk PE may be entering the catheter era.
PRAGUE-26: catheter-directed thrombolysis improved short-term clinical outcomes versus anticoagulation alone, without an obvious major bleeding penalty.
7. Cardiac arrest + no STEMI โ automatic immediate cath lab.
DISCO: immediate angiography after OHCA without ST elevation did not improve 30-day survival.
8. Being โฅ70 is not a reason to abandon primary-prevention statins.
STAREE: atorvastatin reduced major cardiovascular events by about 30% in older adults without known CVD, although disability-free survival was unchanged.
9. AF ablation has a surprisingly large placebo component for symptoms.
PVI-SHAM-AF: ablation reduced AF recurrence, yet improvement in AF-related quality of life was not significantly greater than sham treatment.
10. Even the definition of MI has changed.
The 5th Universal Definition of MI replaces the traditional numbered framework with primary MI, secondary MI and procedure-related MI, while incorporating sex-specific troponin thresholds and greater use of imaging.
๐ฅ The one-line ESC 2026 message:
Treat HF across the EF spectrum, anticoagulate selected AF patients earlier, intervene on TR, monitor syncope soonerโand stop rushing every post-arrest patient without STEMI to the cath lab.
The EHR module by ECFMG is out! Donโt miss it out
All IMGs who matched to a 2025 first-year residency position in a U.S. training program are eligible to use the learning module once their matched status is confirmed
The module will be available from May 5, 2025 through 11:59 p.m. on June 30, 2025, U.S. Eastern Time.

The 2025 ACS guideline synthesizes new evidence since the 2013 STEMI and 2014 NSTEMI guidelines and the 2015 focused update on primary PCI in STEMI.
This guideline was developed with @ACCInTouch in collaboration with and endorsed by @EmergencyDocs@NAEMSP@SCAI

AMA is advocating for the following changes to USMLE Step 3:
1) Changing the USMLE Step 3 and COMLEX-USA Level 3 from a numerically scored examination to a pass-fail examination.
2) Changing USMLE Step 3 and COMLEX-USA Level 3 from a two-day examination to a one-day examination.
3) The option to take USMLE Step 3 after passing Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK), or take COMLEX-USA Level 3 after passing Level 2-Cognitive Evaluation (CE) during medical school.
4) Residents taking the USMLE Step 3 or COMLEX-USA Level 3 exam be allowed days off to take the exam without having this time counted for paid time off or vacation balance
