FlecaED: safety & efficacy of IV FLEC in selected AF pts with stable CAD EF > 35% in RCT vs Amio #EHRA2026

There's a reason why certain papers ask Drs old enough to be a grandparent to current resident doctors to write these pieces Difficult to describe just how much has changed over the years Why I Support the Junior Doctors’ Strike tctmd.com share.google/jHL1xbAAxJ9Yld…

So many valuable wisdom pearls here by @SVRaoMD! Understanding what leadership truly means, its ups and downs and tradeoffs.

#CAC was NEVER intended guide downstream testing in asymptomatic people. The CAC score and even the location should not influence testing. The use of #CAC to help identify people who need more intensive preventive strategies is the intention. I also think the opportunistic identification of CAC is one that we need far more of

You’re standing there, staring at the monitor. Your name’s Raymond, right? Raymond K. Hessel. I’ve seen your initials on the reports, the timestamps, the endless queue of scans stacking up like a deck of cards dealt by a cruel hand. You’re 28, maybe 29, drowning in the glow of PACS screens, and tonight—tonight, you hit zero. The Cardiovascular Radiology worklist. Cleared. No more backlog. Cardiac CTs, Cardiac MRIs, Vascular CTs, MRIs, Doppler US cases—all gone. Done. You didn’t think this day would come, did you, Ray? You thought it’d be eternal—slice after slice, vessel after vessel, a tidal wave of contrast and calcium scores crashing over you. But here we are. You burned through it. The slate’s clean. How’s it feel? That last case signed off, that empty queue staring back at you like a miracle? What’s next, huh? You gonna sit there, refresh the system, wait for the next flood of stat orders to roll in? Or are you gonna feel this? You’re alive right now, Ray. The weight’s off. No more 3 a.m. calls about TAVR measurements, no more juggling five modalities at once. You beat the backlog. You stared into the heart of the beast—literally—and you won. What do you want to do with that? Tomorrow, when the new cases drop—and they will, Ray, they always do—what’s gonna keep you going? You’ve seen the end of the line. You’ve tasted the air on the other side. Don’t forget it. Don’t let the grind bury you again. Take this victory. Run with it. Make it mean something—a coffee break that’s actually a break, a breath that’s not interrupted by a page. Now go. Get out of here. The Cardiovascular Imaging worklist is yours to reclaim. You’ve got a clean slate. Don’t waste it.
