It’s almost the end of July! As new residents and fellows are getting comfortable in their new roles, this is the perfect time to go over some day-to-day scenarios and landmark trials that have shaped modern cardiology.

Thank you so much for helping us out! Is it possible to temporarily waive SONS altogether and require candidates to submit them within a few weeks of joining? Even with ECFMG accepting eSONs, it's very difficult for IMGs to complete the MOH required paperwork during lockdown.

Ainsley was a shining star and brought endless energy to every rotation. She advocated tirelessly for her patients and her presence in the program will be sorely missed. Rest in peace 💔
We are heartbroken with the loss of our dear friend and beloved resident, Ainsley Pratt. We will remember her for her unwavering courage, vivacious energy and unbeatable wit. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.
1/ ❤️Anatomy: Since LV is a 3D structure, anterior and inferior walls are located opposite one another. The basal segment of the inferior wall is an upward curve and called posterior or inferobasal wall
🎄The Christmas tree sign is revealed in aVL and aVF when turning the ECG counter-clockwise.
Bidirectional VT is a rare arrhythmia commonly associated with digitalis toxicity or catecholaminergic polymorphic VT!

2/ Posterior MI is usually seen as an extension of an inferior or lateral MI and implies a larger area of myocardial damage 💥 .
Isolated posterior infarcts are less common. However, lack of ST ⬆️ means that they are frequently missed!
Anyone else a little bummed that their intern orientation is mostly online? Obviously this is the right choice because of covid, but I’m sad that I have less time to meet my co-interns before our first day! 😭
Ep 01 - CARP trial
1/ 🚨 Pre-op risk stratification forms a huge chunk of consults. Contraindications to non-emergent high risk surgery include - active ACS, brady/tachy arrhythmia, severe valvular stenosis, severe PAH, decompensated heart failure
5/ What to do when you’re in🤨? Get posterior leads!
The degree of ST ⬆️ seen in V7-9 is typically modest – only 0.5 mm of ST elevation is required to make the diagnosis of posterior MI!
@DGlaucomflecken
That's absolutely crazy! Hope you get well soon. Your wife is literally a life saver! You'll be hearing that a lot of times from now on 🤣
4/❌ Who was excluded?: Patients with NYHA III or IV heart failure, shock, serum creatinine > 2.5 mg/dl, angiographically significant left main or 3-vessel CAD, angina at rest, and severe ischemia on stress testing (required if the infarct zone was not akinetic or dyskinetic)
3/ Posterior MI is suggested by the following changes in V1-3:
•Horizontal ST ⬇️
•Tall, broad R waves (>30ms)
•Upright T waves
•Dominant R wave (R/S ratio > 1) in V2
@wifemomfuturemd
Your only competition is yourself. Strive to be better than you were yesterday instead of comparing yourself to others.
Just a lesson I think everyone should learn at an early age.
4/ 📊Participants were randomized into two groups: one received routine revascularization before surgery, and the other did not. Results showed no significant difference in long-term survival. However patients with LVEF <20% and significant left main disease were excluded.
6/ 💡Context: CABG to improve survival is recommended for patients with significant (≥50% stenosis) LMCA stenosis. (Class Ib) | There is also a signal towards mortality benefit among patients with ICM with LVEF ≤35% with CABG as compared to OMT alone. (STITCH trial)

@ComedicMD
Probably will require candidates to take it later during intern year? It's easy for them to use clinical skill assessments from med schools for AMGs.
However IMGs will require a solution and I hope this difference doesn't put them at a disadvantage.

Kindly expedite the process for issuing a duplicate DS2019 for the candidates affected by this! Also please consider applowing applicants to purchase a prepaid shipping label as they could before covid?
@ECFMG_IMG
Apparently, first class mail from ECFMG containing my visa petition hasn’t reached my residency program after a week & it’s so infuriating that I could barely sleep past few days.
1/3
This week’s good news: a 101-year-old woman survives coronavirus, a Japanese aquarium asks people to video chat its eels, and South Korea brings back baseball.
3/ 🖊️ Enrollment: Patient were enrolled if coronary angiography performed showed TOTAL occlusion of the infarct-related artery with poor or absent flow (TIMI of 0 or 1) and high risk features mentioned above
6/❔ Why? By the time of intervention, myocardial damage might be irreversible, and the risks of the procedure might outweigh the benefits in stable asymptomatic patients.
HCQ prolongs QT interval and may cause arrhythmia in patients at risk! Ideally an EKG should be done before starting the drug and is best avoided in people with QTc >420
Disappointed at this move but nevertheless, thank you
@SenSanders
for showing us what campaigning and politics should be all about! I hope other candidates can learn from your ideas and take them forward
2/ ⌛️How late is 'late'? : Accepted period of myocardial salvage is accepted to be up to 72 hrs, this trial included 2166 stable patients who had total occlusion of the infarct-related artery 3 to 28 days after acute MI and high risk features (EF <50% or proximal occlusion)
