Debunking a myth.
You know the blood pressure "Korotkoff sounds," first described in 1905 for measuring blood pressure. They were thought to be from the artery, but they're not--they come shear vibrations of surrounding tissue

#AATS2023 flew by. Some of the things I'll be mulling over for a while:
- partial heart transplants and the first infant DCD transplant
- the Ozaki procedure
- Dr. Yacoub's legacy on the Ross procedure
- Dr. Mukherjee on the cell as a device and on dreaming big 🤔

But good journalism is the foundation of everything we believe to be right and true. And we each have a responsibility, as consumers, to fight for higher standards.

[Meilynn Shi @MeilynnShi]

@JudyWoodruff made me miss my hs journalism days when we wanted to be the next Bob Woodwards and Carl Bernsteins of the world and lamented the death of local news and good reporting...

how can you not want to be a cardiothoracic surgeon?! @DrYolondaColson @AATSHQ #AATS2023

patients/everyone: "Heart failure is a terrible word. Why not heart tiredness, or heart fatigue?"

[Meilynn Shi @MeilynnShi]

"Patients do not bleed by the mile, they bleed by the minute." Really cool talk by @LeahTatebe about geomapping transport times (not just radial distance) to characterize trauma deserts #AAST
