Very excited that our case report about an unusual case of a right sinus of Valsalva thrombus presenting as a MI made it into @jaccjournals. Was great working with Amerpreet Brar, @MichaelBashline and @SanonSaurabh on this! https://t.co/XGCFhniLXS

Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia is associated with dig toxicity, myocardial ischemia, and genetic channelopathies, rare in myocarditis.

Rate vs. rhythm control in patients with AFib and HF. Although, no significant difference in mortality the secondary outcomes showed significance in the increase of LVEF, 6 min walk distance and decrease in BNP in favour of rhythm control. Will this change physician’s practice?

The RAFT-AF trial showed that a rhythm-control strategy via atrial fibrillation #epAblation is not superior to a rate-control strategy for CV outcomes at 5 years among patients with #AFib and #HeartFailure. Learn more here: https://t.co/jXR5gswFcU @DLBHATTMD

As a Resident who provides care for many patients in deprived neighbourhoods this is extremely saddening to hear. I look forward to working with the faculty at @UPMCMercyIM to help combat this issue with the patients we serve. Thank you @jared_w_magnani for enlightening us.

In a recent study, @PittTweet and UPMC researchers found that patients with atrial fibrillation in deprived neighborhoods are less likely to receive anticoagulants for stroke prevention. @jared_w_magnani https://t.co/Jz5Q6PHuSx
