Humbled to see our research proposal for a multitarget resuscitation of refractory cardiac arrest being awarded the Dlabal Award!. Grateful to my mentors, Henry Halperin and @DYannopoulos for their continuous guidance and support in navigating ways to battle refractory arrest!

[Johns Hopkins Cardiology @hopkinsheart]

Congratulations to Dr. Marinos Kosmopoulos, this year's recipient of the Dlabal Clinical Research Award! 🎉 @kosmopolitanMD We are excited to see your continued work advancing a multitarget approach for resuscitation of refractory cardiac arrest. Very well-deserved!👏

The p-waves do not march out, suggesting against complete A and V dissociation

Time is myocardium—and brain. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) delivers the greatest survival benefit when reperfusion is achieved within 45 minutes. @kosmopolitanMD @DYannopoulos https://t.co/VpV316ZPuy

Refractory cardiac arrest can be treated, with the correct system, structure and, above all, the right time to reperfusion

@American_Heart CPR saves lives

[American Heart Association @American_Heart]

Beth Padron found her husband Luis crumpled on the bathroom floor. "Call 911!" she screamed to her daughters.

Beth dropped to the floor to see if Luis was breathing. He wasn't. With coaching from the 911 operator, she started pumping on his chest. Although she felt his ribs break, Beth kept going.

Within minutes, paramedics arrived. For 30 minutes, they shocked him multiple times with an automated external defibrillator, or AED, and gave him epinephrine before his heart started beating again.

Paramedics put a tube in Luis' throat to help him breathe. To help reduce permanent brain damage, doctors lowered his body temperature, a treatment called therapeutic hypothermia.

Two days after his cardiac arrest, Luis opened his eyes. Doctors removed his breathing tube. He was still groggy from being sedated. "My beautiful wife," he said to Beth, his voice quiet and scratchy.

Physically, Luis was OK, but he did have some short-term memory loss. He never learned why he’d gone into cardiac arrest at age 50.

Nine days after Luis collapsed, he went home with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, or ICD, that would shock his heart if it ever stopped again. By the time Luis returned to his job as a software engineer in the next month, his short-term memory had returned to normal.

Now, Luis often thinks about how he wouldn't be alive if it weren't for his wife's quick action. The Padrons are planning a CPR training session for their extended family.

"I always envisioned if I needed to use CPR, it would be some random person in the street," Beth said. "Not in my house and not my husband. From the minute we arrived at the hospital, everyone told me I saved his life.

“Everyone needs to learn CPR."

On this app, you can read the negatives about choosing medicine as a career

Yes. There are downsides. But the huge upside is the exact opposite of this PERSUASION entry about meaningless jobs. https://t.co/4lqztlAjpz

A career in medicine is full of meaning. Todos los Dias

@AlexGiannelis Maybe slightly exaggerating?

[Marinos Kosmopoulos @kosmopolitanMD]

@AlexGiannelis Would you model the museum as an ancient Greek temple when it is next to Acropolis?

🥁 What’s that sound? Drums. Boots hitting the pavement. Cheers from the crowd.

Today Greece celebrates #IndependenceDay and the whole country turns into a sea of blue and white. Streets close for school parades, soldiers march through squares and fighter jets roar overhead. Get to the designated spots by 10am or climb a hill for some killer views.

When the parade’s over, find a taverna and dig into the dish of the day and the perfect excuse to keep celebrating. Or just go with whatever feels right. 💙 #discovergreece #25thOfMarch

I used to be totally unexcited by clinic visits for palpitations until today. Appropriate reassurance can sometimes be more potent than an ablation or starting a new medication. All that matters is our patient is feeling better when leaving the clinic. #palpitations

Μεγαλη μου χαρα να βλεπω απόψε όμορφες εικονες από το ΕΚΠΑ. Όμορφες αναμνήσεις από τους χώρους που αγάπησα ως φοιτητής πριν από μία δεκαετία.

No better way to spend a Saturday🫀😊
Thank you Dr. Sam Asirvatham for a phenomenal review of cardiac anatomy!

@PhysInHistory Indeed, although the periodic movement of the planets around the sun is pretty much the same, each year is not the same as the previous or the next. Happy New Year!

The father of IABP, Greek cardiologist Spyridon Moulopoulos passed away at age 98 today. His work at the Cleveland Clinic in the early 60s saved millions of patients in the ensuing decades. He also established the first heart failure clinic in his native Greece in the 80s.
