@drjohnm The concept that fluoro is safer for transseptal and catheter manipulation seems objectively more a preference thing. ICE shows exactly where you are inside the body, not just where you are relative to a shadow. The article does create good discussion though.

@drjohnm With all due respect, when was the last time you saw vasculature and detailed anatomy on fluoro? Complications can happen even if someone does everything right. Period. Just because certain people don’t feel comfortable with just ICE and no fluoro doesn’t mean it’s any worse.

Complications happen—to EVERY operator, but, I stand by my contention that flouroless ablation is an unnecessary parlor trick. 1-2 min of X-ray is not a problem. Plus, the same operator doing a zero fluoro case, often does a CRT device w 45+ min of fluoro.

@DocMomin So ridiculous!

@mpabrams The other day had a denial sent regarding a myocardial perfusion study. The denial was dated the same day that I saw patient and entered orders. It also stated that "your physician has had 48 hrs to respond to denial and due to no response, case is being closed" UNBELIEVABLE

1/3 I had a “peer to peer“ today regarding an EP procedure denial. The peer reviewer was an internist. I asked if a cardiologist or EP was available…no. Should that be allowed? #CardioTwitter #EPeeps #HealthInsurance

3/3 Someone please help me understand why this is what has become of our healthcare system.

2/3 If the patient has an adverse outcome that might have been prevented if the denied treatment was approved, who is responsible? #CardioTwitter #MedTwitter #legaltwitter

Proud to help lead and be a part of this amazing team at @NWHospital from @CareMountMed. #EPeeps @Optum

The professional paradox… In training, we strive to be attendings and as attendings, we strive to be fellows. I might not be able to go to #HRS2022, but I’m so happy a piece of @HRSonline came to me! #EPeeps #CardioTwitter

Some things are good for Passover… flourless brownies, flourless cookies, flourless cake, etc. “Flour-o-less” ablation? Good all year round! #epeeps #ablation #zerofluoro #shedthelead #CardioTwitter

Anyone looking to join a great group, DM me. #CardioTwitter @ColumbiaMed

Favorite line I say to fellows when starting an AFib ablation… “Did you bring your lead? Good, now go hang it up.” First it was flourless tortillas, then flourless brownies, but my favorite is fluoroless ablations! 😉 Who’s with me? #nofluoro #EPeeps #CardioTwitter @HRSonline

@heartbeat @jgoldbergMD Congrats! Proud of you all!

Proud to be part of a new kind of clinical-consumer partnership and a"first for EKG-enabled smartwatches on the market." #hearthealth #cardiology #cardiologist @jgoldbergMD theverge.com/2021/11/17/227…

In a nutshell… when you love what you do, you never work a day in your life. #EPeeps #Cardiology @CareMountMed @NWHospital Caremountmedical.com/abrams
