@BaystateEM Congratulations, Ash - this is fabulous news!

[Susan Torrey MD @STorreyMD]

@BaystateEM Wow! What a class - 11/16 women, 1/2 DO (our secret power) and I do see at least 1 from UVM...way to go, Baystate!

@LisaDNews what is the name of your beautiful black & white cat? We wait every night to see if she/he makes an appearance!

We had a blast presenting the Afvanced EKG workshop with 15 eager participants - some learning for everyone, even the instructors! MEMC19 in Dubrovnik!

@DrRazi4 @MDTolgaAksu @MaxG693 @smithECGBlog @CarinaHardy4 @SchakrabartiEP @BrooksWalsh @HakimIcu @ecgrhythms @spafraz @ECGfan @bmorecardiology @EPChitChat Is irregularly irregular so a fib with aberrancy, preexisting BBB, or accessory path (no clues for this here)

Thanks @srrezaie for this great breakdown of bundle branch blocks. There are so many patterns to memorize, but understanding the physiology always helps it sink in. https://t.co/hJwdYCKc8u

@MusaSharkawi @ecgrhythms Great example of pericarditis! PR depression in II and PR elevation in aVR, as well as Spodick’s sign (down-sloping TP segment in II).

[Gary Gaddis @GaryGChimesIn]

Dr Torrey’s final points: Hyperacute-looking T waves with S-T Depression in precordial leads, DeWinter’s Syndrome, signals a proximal Left Anterior Descending Artery lesion. #litsem2018 FOAM@ltinSkubi

[Gary Gaddis @GaryGChimesIn]

Dr Torrey’s 3rd point: “Wellens Warning” (of L Anterior Descending disease) consists of DEEPLY INVERTED (Type 1) or BIPHASIC T-Waves in leads V2-V4 (Type 2), which are changed from patient’s prior EKG & seen at rest, even with normal Troponin levels #litsem2018 #Foam@ltinSkubi

[Gary Gaddis @GaryGChimesIn]

Dr. Torrey’s Point #2: S-T depression in leads V1-V3 is highly indicative of POSTERIOR MI. The S-T Elevation MI is best seen as S-T elevation by turning EKG up-side down. See the photo. More to follow #litsem2018 #Foam@ltinSkubi
