Today, I became an American Citizen! It took 12 years to move from Student Visa to skilled worker H1B visa to green card to naturalization. While it has been an emotionally and financially exhausting road, I could not be happier! My hope is to shed some light on ...1/n
This is Iran's 9/11 and October 7th all rolled into one.
And multiplied by 20.
But what's *even worse* about the savagery they have faced
It was done to them by their OWN GOVERNMENT!!
The regime must fall
FREE IRAN!
Here is an annotated CT scan slice from a 9 year old child shot in the head by the Iranian Regime.
This is an axial image from the middle of the child's head.
The shotgun pellets have left a hole in the child's skull and lodged in the left frontal lobe. Bone fragments and air have also been pushed into the child's brain.
This is a life threatening and life altering injury. The Ayatollah and IRGC are MONSTERS!
#IranMassacre @ArmaniiJayy
I’m devastated. A good friend and dormmate of mine, Amin Pourfarhang, has been sentenced to death after protesting in Iran 😭 He’s one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.
Please share. Visibility raises the cost for the Islamic Republic and may stop this execution!
@CaryKelly11 You are distributing misinformation and a biased study, maybe reading this will help you understand the limitations of this study better :

@peterkistler3@ESC_Journals@AhmedAlkaisey Would it matter if we catch a persistent AF within the first couple of months of becoming persistent versus much later? 3/3
@peterkistler3@ESC_Journals@AhmedAlkaisey This is a very interesting study but I do not think this is a fair conclusion. Even though this is a randomized trial, the early ablation group has 54% persistent AF versus 37% in late ablation and the ultimate post ablation burden is low in both groups. 1/2
@peterkistler3@ESC_Journals@AhmedAlkaisey It may be true that the timing of ablation won’t matter for paroxysmal AF patients (as long as they remain paroxysmal ) but the results may be much different if you catch a persistent AF patient early on and that’s what we need to know clinically.2/3
If you cannot uphold your Hippocratic Oath and provide care to all humans equally, you SHOUlD not be a doctor. “One cannot vow to keep every human from harm and injustice and later say that they desire protection from doing so.”
Florida has introduced a bill that will allow doctors AND insurance companies to drop a patient or deny care to LGBT people.
So much for being "pro-life." https://t.co/ZrdRFaBFug
Epicardial PFA directly on coronary arteries leads to acute spasm that resolves over 30-minutes and chronic mild stenosis/neointimal hyperplasia. Limitation of PFA on/near CAs with current waveforms. @satoshihgc@SUNGILIM1@jskoruth

Impressive signals on Octaray multi-spline catheter during mapping of post-infarct VT. None of these signals seen with ablation catheter with larger electrode size. Nice mapping by @WongChrisX.
