In the 1960s, a young cardiologist came to the US with a radical dream.
He wanted to build a device that could shock the heart back to life - from inside the body.
Everyone told him it was insane.
They laughed.
They rejected him.
He built it anyway.
Here's his story:

Do we really need Microvascular Assessment in the Cath lab? Come to @Dallas_PCI on 9/16 to learn from Dr. Widmer (@DrArgyle), a leader in coronary physiology, about the emerging role of microvascular assessment in PCI. Fellow scholarships available at https://t.co/o1IOvJs5iI
This patient presented with restenosis at follow‐up after stent implantation in the right coronary artery (arrows on angiogram and telling angiotomography images, top panel). On IVUS, all stent struts are seen at proximal and distal references (e.g. 20 mm and 25 mm), whereas at the fracture site there is superficial calcification from 11 to 4 o’clock and no stent strut is seen (arrow). @hect2701@mmamas1973@evandrofilhobr

The story behind the “heart in heart” image from my previous post. Long instent RCA CTO. Class III angina. No septal collaterals. Failed antegrade. Retro via conus-PLV epicardial. Unfortunate workhorse wire perf in distal PDA at end needing coils 😔!No angina at 4 week follow-up.
