New meta-analysis of 17 studies showed that CCTA is associated with higher odds of detecting
residual leak (LAA patency) & PDL when compared to TEE, now online in @CircImaging @BryanTanMD @FaizMBaqai @nadeemnimri @DrJCheungEP @BCMHeart @BCMDeptMedicine https://t.co/Xy47u24JSW

🔥Hot off the press! In our latest @CircImaging meta-analysis, following LAAO, #YesCCT has ⬆️ higher odds of detecting residual leak (LAA patency) and any PDL compared to TEE. There were no differences in the detection of PDL >5mm and DRT. @FaizMBaqai @DrJCheungEP @nadeemnimri

A fantastic example of one of the most powerful bystander interventions: bringing an AED to the site of a cardiac arrest.

Together with CPR, these two simple interventions are the most effective in saving a life in case of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Well done Ladesma!

I often hear from trainees that their goal is to "be more confident in my plans"

Usually, they received that feedback from a prior supervisor. Usually because they hedged or expressed uncertainty about difficult clinical judgments.

I tend to offer a slightly different take...

The potato paradox is a mathematical calculation that has a counter-intuitive result.

"You have 100kg of potatoes, which are 99% water by weight. You let them dehydrate until they're 98% water. How much do they weigh now?"

The surprising answer is 50kg

Ingenious use of engineering principles to solve a medical problem, but there’s got to be a better way. Another reason there needs to be more crosstalk between clinicians and engineers!

Just another day on the EP Consult service. After LVAD (esp HM3) can be very difficult to interrogate ICDs because of interference. What to do? Make a Faraday cage using a lead apron and cast iron pan! @cardionerds Here's a step by step if you're having trouble interrogating:

Nice study in #JACCCEP showing extensive #AFib ablation & post-ablation scar was *not* associated w/⬆️#stroke (unlike mod-sev pre-existing #AtrialFibrosis)

Having the CMO of the hospital as your attending can be intimidating, but things definitely get done much faster!
