You're here for the cats, aren't you? Over 60,000 views for 'Cats as EP, a thread' posted at start of pandemic, by far most views of any of my tweets, which is a little bit sad. Revisit the thread easily here for CME. threadreaderapp.com/thread/1259667… #epeeps #cardiotwitter #MedTwitter

Driving home from a long day at the hospital.. suddenly thick fog descends.. THEN crazy Alfred Hitchcockian music comes on the radio so I had to slow WAAAYYY DOWN to prevent the impending death the soundtrack was about to imply. #impendingdoom #scarymusic #thickfog #drivesafely

Thankfully there are no middle schoolers in the hospital. #epeeps

Closing ceremonies at a most successful #HRX2025, outlining the future of cardiology and EP. Notify your hospital that you will be attending next year's event. Dr. Silva @jennifersilva and @AtulGupta_MD the CMO of Philips.

@sdcountydpw Dangerous situation, lights going SE on Genesee at N Torrey pines road are unlit (no red), but the other sides are getting green lights. Drivers may think it is four way stop but the other side sees a green light. Reported to dpw.

I asked ChatGPT to finish the limerick: There once was an EP at Scripps, Who analyzed electrogram blips. It answered: With a signal so neat, He’d map out the beat, And decode all the heart's little trips. Not bad, I suppose. #epeeps

@amytongwu Yesterday was normal but today everywhere outside smells like a campfire in San Diego. Be safe!

LA air quality now. Friends with small children are trying to leave

If I ever open a bar it will be called 'Chad's Vascor'. In fact, all names of post-medical endeavors will be derived from whimsical Dragon mis-transcriptions. Welcome to Chad's! There's open seating in the atrium. #EPeeps

@VintageVolts @vcfederation The only reasonable next step is to ball up a sheet say 'bah' and throw it at the nearest nerd's head. Be careful, it may be your own.

Interesting notepad of paper found at the @vcfederation Swapmeet.

Ahh the 1980s. We had our old-timey Beagle Brothers software and old-timey Smith Brothers cough drops. smithbrothers.co

@mikepriceinla @NyahojaSarahFan Also, I seem to recall his son being a subject in one of his flight experiments, perhaps there is a story there :)

@mikepriceinla @NyahojaSarahFan >Such is the life of a second tier side character. Second-tier?? Whilst Springfield U may lack the double-Boula prowess of more famous second-tier institutions, Dr. Frink's research has been nominated for several (ig)Nobel Prizes!

Many #epeeps at #APHRS! @netta_doc doing @HRSonline TV. Opportunity to talk with @EmmaSvennberg about visions for the future of ubiquitous rhythm assessment. EP is still such a dynamic field.

A real koala at #APHRS2024 day one! Thoughtful keynote on AF progression and patterns by @harry_crijns. Is progression a marker or can ablation consistently interrupt the pathophysiology?

Congrats to the #HRX2024 moderated / interactive Abstractx presenters!

@narrowQRS Yes I also didn't see it. It's so odd and now pushes non-professional content and risque stuff, so I also largely stopped using twitter/X. It is quite a sad outcome.

And... this perfectly demonstrates exactly how #MedTwitter has been completely ruined by Elon's algorithms. In the past, a tweet about VT entrainment with images would rapidly get engagement by #EPeeps and others (views, likes, retweets, replies). Now? One like. By a sex bot.

Looks like a noisy EKG. I can even see P waves... #epeeps

Apparently I am very late to the node.js party but what a wonderful tool. For my own tutorial installed on pi server, can tunnel and control TV mute from accessing the server website with URL parsing e.g. 192.168.1.1:port/mutetv or :port/poweroff. Quick web-enabled anything!

From the overhead walkway #HRS2024 looked like a modern Caravaggio. There was an actual mini dog petting area apparently for the #epeeps in attendance! Remember you can catch up on sessions you missed by streaming through the app - sessions timed perfectly for your commute.

@jeffrey_vinocur @utedrow IMO one of the most, if not the most important concepts @utedrow said at the end of the talk, 'don't just be a technician.' Indications and the clinical situation determine aggression of procedures and must be known by the operator. When not to ablate is as important as when.

Now @utedrow on when not to ablate VT I was prepared to make an even more vigorous caveat about relevance to pediatrics but then we got quickly to case of DSP ACM…and later to a young adult ACHD patient

Starting now!
