FINALLY I got to meet @meow_london!
After years of waiting, finally we were on the same @nhsbartshealth ward at the same time.
And I got to meet @Baddiel too!
Life goals unlocked.

I genuinely don't know where to start with the jokes about this.

@DrLKVaughan It’s ok! We have different roles! I go to the hospital and she looks after the household! It’s all as it should be! 🐾

@drjohnm Wild to read. Hard to even imagine EP fellows getting pulled off EP in the Us to go admit 80 year patients with pneumonia or HHS.

@DrMarkMills @Dr_Connolly @tom__slater @drashnisbet @DhirajGuptaBHRS @johnpaisey Nothing unintended about it, unfortunately.

@Dr_Connolly @tom__slater @drashnisbet @DhirajGuptaBHRS @johnpaisey Completely. We made the point for electrophysiology, but it applies to all cardiology sub-specialties.

In England, EP training is being squeezed by the need for dual accreditation in general internal medicine.
We argue that this risks a generation of underprepared specialists.

@DrLKVaughan Wes says you have to have the same haircut as him.
English
in advance. It costs me 💰💰💰.
Changing hairdresser is TRAUMATIC. A bad haircut has reduced me to tears.
Wes has a TRANSACTIONAL relationship with his barber.
I have REAL relationship with my hairdresser.
These are NOT the same!
English
Wes has short, boring man hair.
Any old barber can cut Wes's hair in 10 mins flat. Don't even need to wash it. He can just queue up, wait 15 mins slap down a 20. Boom done!
I have fussy lady hair. It takes 3 hours to get my hair done. I have book at 3 (sometimes 4) weeks

@hollymorgs So silly. He is absolutely boss, though, so hopefully he'll learn.

@hollymorgs Yeah but they're unconscious when it happens, I think. Think of all that delicious mulberry they get!

When I was 12, the teacher got us to make a presentation to give to the class on something important to us. Some did football teams, one of the girls talked about her dog. I nervously but passionately told the whole class about the awful plight of silkworms

Reminds of this slide I have shown over the years of genes harboring (human) mutations conferring resistance to MI and ASCVD
These targets getting a lot of attention.

Great to see @TheBHF supporting screening programmes for important diseases. Screening often attracts criticism in resource-poor systems, but FIND-AF shows a potential way to reduce devastating strokes from an often asymptomatic disease.

📢 Late-Breaking at #ESC2025: FIND-AF clinical trial (n≈2,000) ➡️ Machine learning–guided screening identifies a subgroup with 8-fold higher risk of AF among patients at elevated stroke risk. 💡 AI could transform early AF detection @TheBHF @LeedsHospCharity @NIHRresearch

Why can I see Registered Nurse roles out for £12-14 per hour in Yorkshire.
I was earning £11.09 TEN years ago.
What a travesty.

@DevanSinha @AAMortazavi Except this paper does assess NYHA class (metoprolol loses) and, crucially, the primary end point was an objective measure of exercise capacity.
My point was more the biotechbros focusing on the least patient-relevant outcome. But what do I know?!
English
@cardiacjoshi @AAMortazavi aiui HCM interventions aren't typically scored vs MACE or HF progression etc so this paper is not unusual?
(outside my normal wheelhouse of radiology, neuro, oncogenetics related papers)

@DevanSinha @AAMortazavi No patient ever said "I feel like I have high NT-proBNP."
