Heart attack leading cause of death in world
Treatments that can reduce risk but very poorly used
With coronary CT angiogram, can directly look at heart arteries to see who has & who doesn't have disease
Is CCTA ready for primetime to be applied more broadly for screening?
@CollinRugg They should make her stay outside in the freezing cold with no clothes on- just so she feels what she put that poor child through. Then she should be jailed for child abuse. Unbelievable.
New in @AmJCardio comparing LV unloading with #Impella vs #IABP in pt's on VA-ECMO
📌In patients w/ #CardiogenicShock, IABP + VA_ECMO 🟰 Impella+VA_ECMO for LV unloading in ☠️
📌 #Impella use ⏫ Major bleeding/hemolysis🩸
📌 No differences in secondary outcomes 🧠🫘🦵

@safetosayjay For real though, an amazing applicant.
Really enjoyed the time you spent in our office, you’re welcome anytime. You will be an asset to any program you join. The patients will be lucky to have you as their doctor.
Now only if I can convince you to be a cardiologist…
“& that’s how it’s done, son!” A successful pericardiocentesis performed with my friend and mentor, Dr. Arber Kodra (and our wire even made a perfect ampersand in the pericardium) #Cardiotwitter#Cardiology#InterventionalCardiology
This should be a HUGE story. The insurance companies are robbing patients blind, refusing to pay for the care they’re entitled to, and putting more obstacles for their doctors to provide them evidence based care.
Doctors at a major US insurance company deny tens of thousands of claims a month without even looking at patients’ files.
“We literally click & submit,” a former Cigna doctor told @ProPublica & @Capitol_Forum. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.”
The inside story 🧵
42 year old man, with a PMHx of HTN and HLD, who experienced chest pain but only came to the hospital at his wife’s behest. Time and again, we are reminded why married men have better cardiovascular outcomes: https://t.co/ecGwcoZRzc #Cardiotwitter#InterventionalCardiology
This could be a HUGE win for physicians and patients- will give even a bigger push to private practice, and to those physicians who want to serve their own communities. This will receive a lot of pushback from the big hospital systems. https://t.co/2JukVUt2Oi
