The Pediatric Heart Center would like to congratulate and celebrate Drs. Erika Berman Rosenzweig and Leonardo Liberman on their upcoming induction into the Columbia Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons Academy of Clinical Excellence! #CardioTwitter #PediatricCardiology

[Leonardo Liberman @leoliberman9]

The Columbia Univ Pediatric cardiolgy faculty will give a Board Review Course on June 8. It is free. If you want to participate, e-mail me to [email protected] Write Board review in subject and let me know if you are fellow or attending and at what institution. Leo

@jeffrey_vinocur @PACESep @adribaran @kotecha_nikunj @Casi2007 Looks like outflow tract ventricular tachycardia with retrograde decremental conduction. i'm having trouble coming up with a better hypothesis than type 1 2nd degree exit block, hard to prove it though. Glad sotalol worked

[Eric Silver, MD @EricSilverMD]

@jeffrey_vinocur @MGKatz036 Hi Jeff, the PVC is relatively late coupled, if it advanced the tachycardia it would be strong evidence for AVRT, since it doesn't seem to effect the tachycardia it's not helpful. looks like retrograde P waves after the QRS suggesting AVRT.

Why are they standing so close together while they talk about social distancing?

What are the odds on five in a row? This is impressive.

And here's this week's ECG of the week, good luck . . . #ECGchallenge #ECGoftheweek #PediatricECG

Here's the answer to last weeks ECG of the week . . . #ECGchallenge #ECGoftheweek #PediatricECG

[Eric Silver, MD @EricSilverMD]

@jeffrey_vinocur @PACESep Nice tracing, shows it nicely when you had aberrancy related to both bundles on the same tracing. Not a good sign when you have a tracing from the EP lab on a baby . . .

[Eric Silver, MD @EricSilverMD]

@Bradley_C_Clark @jeffrey_vinocur I agree, nice example.

Congrats to @ebrosenzweig who guest-edited the latest issue of Advances in #PulmonaryHypertension, and with Nicholas Hill, MD sheds light on a new classification system for #PH. https://t.co/s9F0B1bTMq

[Eric Silver, MD @EricSilverMD]

@sandrotaaa @FerranRoses @ecgrhythms @ECGcorner @sgiacomanh @c_marsie Looks like atrial bigemeny with blocked PAC's giving bradycardia. Could be related to a concealed accessory pathway with retrograde conduction up the pathway but no sustained tachycardia because it doesn't go back down the AV node - or maybe they're just PAC's :)

[Eric Silver, MD @EricSilverMD]

@gablopezmora @CampusArritmias @EF_Cardiaca @jvillacastin @EduardoSaad3 @EducationRhythm @elciudadanobv @ECGcorner @ecgrhythms @JasonWinterECG I agree, looks like preexcited atrial fibrillation. qS pattern of preexcitation in lead II suggests that the pathway may be in the middle cardiac vein, can be a difficult place to access.

I have taken care of several kids who may not be here today if it wasn't for an AED in their school - many states don't require it - but they all should. #AED #AEDsSaveLives

This 11-year old collapsed while playing basketball. School staff used CPR to help save his life! He was later diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy #CPR #AED #cardiacarrest #cprsaveslives #savinglives #lifesaving #savealife #AEDsSaveLives #heart #HCM

@jeffrey_vinocur @Bradley_C_Clark Nope, more common post-op but not this time . . .

ECG challenge, 6-month-old, no symptoms. #epeeps @jeffrey_vinocur @Bradley_C_Clark
