A Cardiologist cum Electrician shares his tiny feeds of knowledge on heart rhythm disorders (Electrophysiology). And occasionally other trivia.












A recent study from @DavidLBrownMD and colleagues has challenged the notion that MI, yes, myocardial infarction, is *NOT* a reliable surrogate marker for death. Wow. Read my commentary on one of the most important studies in 2021. medscape.com/viewarticle/96… #cardiotwitter





Good news for coffee drinkers ☕️☕️ Debunking the dogma that coffee increases the risk of heart rhythm disturbances, from >386,000 people, 4.5 year follow-up, including putative genomic risk variants @JAMAInternalMed jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai… @uk_biobank

Sudden impedance rise & inappropriate shock !! 45 days after CRT-D implant!I’d never seen before! Sleeves were tight on place; but leads were woven!! Gen. Anchor was released ! Pt. had a lot of subQ. Fats! #EPeeps

Confirmed #HRS2021 will be happening in Boston. Register today to be part of this historic return-to-normalcy meeting. Looking forward to welcoming old friends and meeting new ones. Great work @HRSonline


Unwell gentleman (83yr) who was brought in because he was hypotensive with a GCS 8/15. Hypothyroidism as well. Not sure about the rhythm. I feel like it's an SVT. I wouldn't call this an Afib or flutter. Your opinions? #CardioTwitter #MedTwitter #FOAMed #cardiology
