Hardest STEMI ever. #RadialFirst wire won’t go ostially. 5-6 other guides same issue, switched same femoral, nothing would engage, finally WRT guide fit (lifetime first use), Blue in then no balloons would go including sapphire and takeru 😫! Would you rotablate during STEMI?

WATCH: Staff showed their love and admiration with a #GuardofHonour for Cardiologist Professor Keith Oldroyd - a true #NHSHero - on his retirement today. Thank you for everything Keith, you'll always be #TeamJubilee Full video: youtu.be/Wc-hPLgkpRk

when we are talking about side effects ... 🥺🥺🥺 Where are #MI patients and then @theFIRE_trial patients?? Reduced Rate of Hospital Admissions for ACS during Covid-19 Outbreak in Northern Italy | NEJM nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Does this sound familiar? In 1918 the "Spanish flu" Pandemic hit the world amid WWI. The global losses caused by the pandemic far exceeded those of the war. The economy froze, meetings were banned and the healthcare system was overwhelmed. #Pandemic Newspaper scrapbook from 1918

STEMI rates are 'down' 70% in Milan because patients fear hospitals. Other groups using lytics over PCI for STEMI. These are some of the many downstream effects of COVID-19. academic.oup.com/eurheartj/adva…

Cases nearly at standstill due to covid 19.. but today did a single access impella facilitated with shockwave in pt with nstemi, refractory CHF, LVEF 20% with severe calcified multiveseel disease with poor hemodynamics @MacAnsari @DrAmirKaki @ProtectedPCI @matheenkhuddus
