@drjohnm We published something similar for endocardial LV lead placement...it works nicely.https://t.co/Pki4pzZLyD

@veramasloo Like it! Next challenge for you - can you work out flutter circuits (even at low resolution e.g. left vs right sided) from atrial strain patterns? Must be do-able?

[Dr Markus Sikkel @MarkusSikkel]

@ProfDFrancis Excellent, and of course mischievous, take on research methodologies...thanks @ProfDFrancis I learn so much from these!

[Prof Darrel Francis ☺ Mk CardioFellows Great Again @ProfDFrancis]

Happy Saturday!

@ayhankup @vish_luther I'm thinking chop off about 2.5 cm of the distal portion to make it 0.5cm...ever tried it?

[Dr Markus Sikkel @MarkusSikkel]

@ayhankup @vish_luther Very cool, application under normal saline external to body? Did u need to strip the prox part of the wire?

[Dr Markus Sikkel @MarkusSikkel]

@ECG_Emily @TJBarfield @seth_j_worley talks about L SVC vs patent VOM...can we have a refresher Seth? I think this would be patent VOM?

[Dr Markus Sikkel @MarkusSikkel]

@ECG_Emily Have forwarded to our new nurses...thanks for organizing!

Our work on #AtrialFibrillation trends in Europe is featured in an excellent article by @theheartorg https://t.co/F3HbuY3aaY; I comment on the ⬆️mortality rates in wealthier countries + ⬆️per-case mortality in women vs men. #cardiotwitter #MedTwitter @MDRCollab

@LCC_DrMalik @beckeralkhayatt @DrJasonAndrade @jsalcicc_ @vish_luther @DrJHoward Come back soon my friend! Can't be more than a year now til we can safely get on flights and visit each other! I know I am long overdue to come to ur place too

See our paper in EHJ published this week for a 30,000 ft view of sex differences in AF. https://t.co/pEOsvW6tLP Worse outcomes in women, highly variable between nations and an interesting wealthy --> worse outcomes paradox @AndrewKrahnMD @JosephShalhoub

Anyone understand this? PPM yesterday, RV lead not capturing but looks to be apical still #EPeeps

[Dr Markus Sikkel @MarkusSikkel]

@bigdaddybunce @SaraWalker_news I support Bunceys turn of phrase there and I am a cardiologist...hold plenty of lives in my hands. Just because there are high stakes in one aspect of life doesn't negate the relevance of other high stakes events. This is high stakes for AJ tonight, looking forward to it!

[Dr Markus Sikkel @MarkusSikkel]

@MarcDeyell @narrowQRS @rdschaller @JDMossMD Haha, syncopized got me too, I told my resident it wasn't a word then they googled it and told me it was...I remain unconvinced...

[Dr Markus Sikkel @MarkusSikkel]

@seth_j_worley To snare the atrial lead in your previous tweet

[Dr Markus Sikkel @MarkusSikkel]

@seth_j_worley Thanks Seth, can you tell me what sheath is best used via femoral vein?

[Dr Markus Sikkel @MarkusSikkel]

@VPrasadMDMPH I know there was initial feeling that virus was not changing genetically but with at least 1 reinfection perhaps not as stable as 1st thought...perhaps drifting slowly towards being less virulent??
