How do we manage discordant coagulation markers in patients on mechanical circulatory support with hemolysis??

[Katie Vanchiere, MD, MA (she/her) @KatieVanchiere]

Lunch & learn! The coagulation chronicles begin with Deepika Potarazu, MD from Vanderbilt 🫀 & Cecily Allen, MD from NIH 🩸

Excited to kick off @UMN_CCCEdSummit 2026!! Follow @CardioNerds conference ambassadors @RohangantiMD @RebeccaGarberMD and myself for updates and highlights from the conference! 🫀⚡️

[UMN Critical Care Cardiology Education Summit @UMN_CCCEdSummit]

Our hands-on sessions are always a hit! This year, we will be conducting these sessions with a twist, focusing on managing all things bleeding and clotting!

See our full agenda below⬇️

This came up frequently on general cardiology consults recently…

@interventionalcards gurus - thoughts?

@RohangantiMD asked a good question re: proceduralists being more comfortable operating through asa than plavix. Should we be switching?

[CircInterventions @CircIntv]

Clopidogrel is superior to aspirin for cardiac outcomes beyond 1-year up to 5-years. Results from the STOPDAPT-2 ACS and STOPDAPT-2 Total Cohort. Should it be a lifelong maintenance therapy? @HirotWatanabeMD @MNatsuaki @KoYamamoto7 https://t.co/SkorxNqlrS

Had an incredible day at #REVIVE2026 learning from leaders in critical care & resuscitation! Thankful for the opportunity to speak on the topic of optimal timing for post-arrest coronary angiography & PCI. 🫀

[Deepika Potarazu, MD @dpot29]

First time giving this talk on pericardial diseases to @VUMChealth IM residents!

Pericardial disease is the ultimate synergy of physiology, clinical examination, imaging and invasive hemodynamics. What a doozy! 🤯

#MedTwitter - how do you teach this topic??

[Deepika Potarazu, MD @dpot29]

Still can’t believe I got to help write this episode of my FAVORITE podcast! Dream come true to learn from @TrinaAugustinMD

Check out part I of Electrical Storm: Surviving the Storm (see below)

And now Part II is out! Managing ES doesn’t stop once the patient is on ECMO

[the EMCrit Crew @emcrit]

CV-EMCrit Wee - Electrical Storm: Surviving the Storm - Part I
-Which Anti-Dysrhythmics? and how to mix that cocktail
-When SGB?
-When to tube and sedate?
and so much more with @TrinaAugustinMD

Grateful to co-moderate @zoll_cms #SHOCKWEEK with guidance from the illustrious @SrihariNaiduMD @XavierPrida!

We learned abt implementing the SCAI shock classification and DLC with @SandeepNathanMD and CS in special populations with #JenniferRymer

Thx! @CheverePhD @Krys_Sydell

[Deepika Potarazu, MD @dpot29]

Apply for this INCREDIBLE hands-on educational summit!

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about bleeding and coagulopathy in the CICU from international experts.

Feeling the pressure to understand ECMO hemodynamics? Join me and the great and powerful @JasonKatzMD as we unload the controversy and fill you in on filling pressures! 🫀🫁🩸 RVSP ⬇️

@RohangantiMD @DrKevinBuda @AYOKUNLE_MD @LeivaOrly This is not a fair ask of someone with legs as small as mine…

[Deepika Potarazu, MD @dpot29]

I love the discourse around this lately!

Is the phenomenon of LV unloading via reduction in transpulmonary flow based on ECMO flow rate? Is there a sweet spot?

@CCCEnthusiasts @SocietyOfCCC
@DrKevinBuda

What do you think @aniket_rali, @JasonKatzMD @TrinaAugustinMD

[Dr. Kevin Buda @DrKevinBuda]

🚨Can V-A ECMO unload?🚨

Our recent📰 in @JCardFail
👉https://t.co/lnOy6ekoKW
✅ Venous drainage ↓ transpulmonary flow → ↓ LV preload
✅ Often ↓ inotropes/pressors → ↓ myocardial O₂ demand
✅ Human data show reduced LV filling pressures & stroke work at higher flows

💡 Are we overestimating the afterload penalty of ECMO in cardiogenic shock?

Ideas & critiques welcome!
