A low-cost and expert-driven medical technology is being used in rural areas in Australia! The machine is operated by a sonographer remotely (using a gaming controller) and helps perform an ultrasound examination. Doctor shortages shouldn't mean that patients have to travel more (sometimes for no medical reason), but to use technologies that can extend the reach of medical care. This is a perfect example of that!

I’m happy to share that our YELLOW-III study has been published in JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging. 110 stable coronary artery disease patients receiving maximally tolerated statin therapy were treated with evolocumab 140mg every 2 weeks for 26 weeks. authors.elsevier.com/a/1mhDY…

Introducing the percutaneous aorto-coronary bypass graft. The VECTOR procedure revascularizes the left main coronary artery using retrograde and antegrade steps: a retrograde wire exits the left main (distal graft), an electrosurgical wire exits the aortic root (proximal graft), a guidewire rail is created, and a stent graft is delivered from the aorta to the left main. What could possibly go wrong? ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/…

The majority of patients who present to the hospital with “new onset LBBB” are not new or due to acute coronary occlusion. They’re either progression of underlying conduction disease or rate-dependent. #FOAMed #MedEd #MedTwitter

Little Xmas 🎄 trick for #CTO #PCI. You crossed the CTO and wonder if you’re in the true lumen? Just transduce the pressure from the microcatheter! In this case, the red pulsatile tracing confirms that we are in the true lumen 💯%. @RezMasoomi @UWMedHeart

I’ve always been a fan of carvedilol!
This #JACCCEP study suggests #HeartFailure patients with ICDs on carvedilol treatment experience a significantly lower risk of atrial tachyarrhythmia and inappropriate ICD shocks when compared to treatment with metoprolol. bit.ly/3sf122x #epICD #EPeeps #CardioTwitter
