🧵 6/17 - SAM is the main mechanism of LVOT dynamic obstruction - "mitral-septal contact"
•SAM: not only result of septal asymmetric hypertrophy (⬆️Veloc / Venturi effect) 👉🏽 Crucial understanding for adequate treatment!
•Primary abnormalities of MV apparatus may have a great role in LVOT obstruction, such as anterior displacement and papillary muscles hypertrophy, leaflets elongation and alteration in chordal insertion. Sherrid MV - JACC 2016

Astonished by this passage of text in the @SCTSUK Bulletin reading about the life & career of the late great cardiac surgeon Marc de Leval
An established consultant at G.O.S.H., he still asked to be retrained & then bounced back
Wow
Already I know his book will be amazing
@dr_benoy_n_shah There's a good saying that if it ain't broke, don't fix it! A pericardiocentesis is not pleasant to have, has a risk of infection and the fluid (causing no issues for 18months) may build up again. ? a F/U appointment in 2 yrs, ensuring the patient is aware of tamponade symptoms.
@jk_rowling What an inspirational person you are! This is not about being transphobic etc, this is about the safety of our children, the safety of women in prisons - to not be raped, the safety of young sexually confused adultesants and the freedom of speech without dismissal. Keep going! X
Another great example recently of the importance of examining aortic stenosis severity from multiple windows...in this case, right parasternal imaging
