Today marks the first day of Heart Failure Awareness Week and the launch of something new.
We’re officially launching MedicalVisual’s Clinician Hub, built for the way healthcare teams learn now: fast, visual, practical, and community-driven.

A simple guide to anatomy vs physiology, angiogram and IVUS/OCT vs FFR/iFR, CT-FFR and what each one tells you.
Learn more about diagnostics of cardiovascular dieases only on the Clinician Hub! Visit https://t.co/ju8HkHJWL9!
A narrowing on the angiogram doesn't always mean the heart is starved of blood.
A quick guide to FFR, iFR, and RFR, the three ways we measure whether a lesion actually limits flow. Save the comparison 📌

Dr. Patrick Hranitzky takes on a 36-year-old with congenital heart disease, four prior surgeries, mechanical valves, and an interrupted IVC — reaching the heart through the liver in a complex transhepatic AFib ablation.

🫀 Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR): a less invasive way to replace a diseased mitral valve.
See how a new valve is delivered without open-heart surgery!

🫀 MitraClip: fixing a leaky mitral valve without open surgery.
Watch how this transcatheter clip grips the two leaflets together to reduce mitral regurgitation, edge-to-edge repair, no open-heart surgery needed.

🩺 How do we catch mitral valve disease?
From the bedside murmur to AI stethoscopes, echo, TEE, and cardiac MRI, here are five ways we find it. Also, a huge thanks to @aliakhanm.d for providing us with the mitral valve TEE!
#DigitalHealth
🫀 The mitral valve can fail in more than one way.
A quick guide to the main types of mitral valve disease — regurgitation, stenosis, prolapse, and mixed disease. Save it for your next rotation 📌

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)
A procedure that is remarkable, and remarkably common. This week we're covering PCI, from the cath lab to discharge and recovery.
Stay tuned and follow us @CardioVisual for clear, visual cardiology education!
#InterventionalCardiology
Cardiac catheterization, in 45 seconds 🫀
A gold-standard procedure for measuring cardiac pressures, visualizing the coronary arteries, and assessing cardiac and vascular function. Here’s how it works.

Waveforms 101: the right heart 🫀
RA, RV, and PA pressure tracings, how to recognize each shape and the common abnormalities behind them. Save it for your next cath lab rotation!

POTS is routinely mistaken for anxiety, dehydration, or deconditioning, and patients often wait years before it is named correctly. Jennifer Carlquist, PA-C, from Cardiology Made Easy breaks down the subtypes and how she treats them on the clinician hub: https://t.co/ju8HkHJWL9!
