It’s time to retire and let AI take over if you are consulting cardiology for sinus tachycardia.

Wow! Best collection of resources I have seen yet

[Ruey Hu, MD, MPH @ruey_hu]

Somewhere online there is a free tool that makes your next cardiology topic click. They live on many sites, from many creators.

We brought 92 tools into one interactive flipbook: https://t.co/mWCBlx7BRL. For students, housestaff, APPs, attendings & anyone interested in #MedEd.

This is nuts. Abdul El-Sayed’s h-index on Google Scholar is 37 — higher than that of your average tenured professor at an Ivy League school.

[Matt Cooperberg @dr_coops]

So AI scribe (Heidi at least) saves 1-2 minutes, bloats notes, and doesn't actually improve closure time or RVUs. I'm not shocked... the notes aren't the problem it's pre-charting and all the other clicking it takes to close a note!

Newly elected Senator Abdul El-Sayed has an H-Index of 37. This makes me inordinately happy. Expertise matter. Science matters. Facts matter. Rationality is a magic power -- @AbdulElSayed

woah they just combined uworld, anki, and written OSCEs - very cool to see

i wonder how the quality of the questions compare to UWorld but will definitely be giving this a try

@Bugiukas Congrats, I’ll have to check it out!

I started building an #LBBAP simulator for my own learning with @claudeai and got a bit carried away.

Free to use: https://t.co/PSMURUTG54

Inspired by https://t.co/e65RlkE0Rw and https://t.co/IQcb0HKjag. Check it out. All feedback welcome!

PVC localization has been one of the harder things to learn and teach as a cardiology fellow interested in EP.

So I built https://t.co/Tzid9dzt1i to help connect the 12-lead ECG with 3D cardiac anatomy.

You can explore different PVC origins, rotate and look inside the heart, and work through practice cases.

It's an early educational prototype, and I'd love feedback from fellows, electrophysiologists, and educators.

Which PVC origin do you find hardest to localize?

OpenEvidence, as a physician-facing LLM, is being used by more healthcare professionals month by month. Now, a study analyzes how almost a million US clinicians use it while submitting 271 million AI-enabled clinical queries!

"Early-career physicians (use ratio, 2.54) and those in oncology and hematology (2.00), internal medicine (1.88), and family medicine (1.80) submitted a higher-than-average share of queries; treatment and management accounted for 33.1% of physician queries and diagnosis for 13.9%."

I really liked their concluding remark:

"For much of modern medicine, clinicians have been expected to internalize a body of knowledge through training and maintain it through continuing education. Study findings suggest a growing share of knowledge access is shifting from recall to retrieval."

We cannot expect physicians to know everything, but we can expect them to know where to find the information they need.

The website is live at https://t.co/2xHwccsYPD and the github is at https://t.co/GZDCqmjmdY

It was really fun to make the free movement - the video doesn't do it justice, but you can free move both the TTE and TEE probe and it'll generate the 2D image in according to the 3D model.

There's a couple of chapters on common echo concepts and common diseases. Would love feedback!

A cardiology fellow built a 3D tool to help trainees learn to read coronary angiograms.

Watching a whole lot of my Eagles timeline have a whole lot of very strong opinions about a medical condition they’d never heard of until today 🫠

Superficial venous thrombosis is not DVT. It’s much lower risk and usually doesn’t require specific treatment. It’s also generally…

[Micah G. Allen @micahgallen]

I find that AI assisted science has deeply increased my joy and curiosity, and rather than using this new ability to pump out slop I aspire to publish much less, of a much higher quality. Maybe others will feel the same. 🤷‍♂️

[Michael Liu-Hass, MD, MPhil @LiuMichaelMD]

@JAMA_current @vrpatel97 @IAmSamFin @AnupamBJena @OpenEvidence Who’s using it?

➡️ Early-career physicians: 24% of the workforce, but 62% of physician queries
➡️ NPs & PAs were the most intensive users (~45 queries/month vs 37 for physicians)
➡️ IM, FM & onc/heme used it at ~2x their workforce share

[Allison Fitzgerald, MD, PhD @allisonoconn]

I feel horrible for the real Dr. Salman, who has this scam artist impersonating her.

Impersonating a real physician with impressive credentials to take advantage of vulnerable patients to sell snake oil AND tell patients to stop their chemotherapy/radiation is diabolical.

[Heather L Gornik @heatherlgornik]

As an Editor, in past ~6mo, we are receiving an avalanche of unsolicited review articles (“scoping” “systematic”, narrative, NOS) on topics and ?s NO ONE EVER has asked and clearly with heavy AI lift. Even the cover letters all read the same…alarming and sad. #publishing

@edgefills 💯The benefit of an early lab experience is the experience not a publication nor should it be. During my first lab experience, I was jokingly told:

"You could be included in the acknowledgement that this work was completed ❗️in spite of ❗️the assistance of Michael"

[Ven @edgefills]

Every time, these kind of "papers" are produced by kids whose parents have access to a lab and are shameless enough to give them publication credit. When I worked in my dad's lab, he was explicitly clear that I would be a footnote at best. All of those "science fair winners" just cribbed someone else's research. It's a huge, huge problem that likely gets solved by the fact that nobody will care about classic college application-maxing within a decade
