Please RT for visibility I recorded a patient's final heart sounds on my Littmann 3200 stethoscope today. Plan is to turn the audio into a memento for the family. It's an older model steth that requires a bluetooth dongle to get the audio. 1/2

@Priexcitation Learnt a lot at Glennon!

Was able to scrub into and assist with an intervention on an #adultcongenital patient with #TGA and #tricuspidatresia and it was awesome. Love to learn, especially if it lets you practice different skill sets. #CardioTwitter #cardioX #interventionalcardiology

Unfortunately, with the new academic year, we do not only say goodbye (but see you later) to our amazing graduating fellows @Hiren_PatelMD, @Ruthvik_SM, @AShereMD, and Arturo but also to Superstar Attending and SLU Cards Fellow Alumni Dr. Stephanie Windish. You will be missed!

@Hiren_PatelMD @SouthwestAir Gotta check in early bro!

1st amendment of in-flight 🛫Constitution: One arm rest and aisle for aisle seat, one arm rest and window for window seat and two arm rests for the middle seat. END OF TWEET. #middleseat @SouthwestAir

@perc_surgeon Same thing happened to me 2 days ago! JR4 guide kinked at forearm. Fem access with MPA and Tulip snare to dekink. @AmmarNasirMD

Anyone else having issues with Cordis guides recently? Not my preferred guide but use from time to time. 2 kinked guides in last week. One from radial and one from fem. No major torquing before kink occurred. This was was turrible

Interventionalists care about prevention too! @SamTheUncle7, @Ruthvik_SM, and I got our Lp(a) levels checked at #ACC23

An often over-looked heart condition, basal septal hypertrophy was making me dizzy when I ran. theskepticalcardiologist.com/2023/02/24/how…

@DrJayMohan @BeaumontIC What’s your experience with long hydrophilic sheaths instead of usual short ones and no cocktail? One of my attending uses this approach and says he rarely has issues with spasm.

In IC training at @BeaumontIC we only used verapamil. In practice I’ve been using 3mg verapamil (always administer first) and 50% of time I add 400mcg of nitro (usually avoid in AS, Stemi, marginal Bp). What’s your go to cocktail for radial artery Cath? #Cardiotwitter

@AmmarNasirMD @willyhfrick Waiting for that credit card info! 😉

@Ruthvik_SM @willyhfrick Go ahead and buy Willy’s too?

Any specific advice for buying leaded safety glasses? #EPeeps

@AmmarNasirMD @willyhfrick Shoot! Already bought my lead glasses recently. I will settle for a lead apron instead Dr. Nasir! Thanks

@willyhfrick Make sure they cover all possible gaps. Don’t risk a splash getting through anywhere. Gimme a holler tomorrow and let’s see if the division can’t get this taken care of for you 😉

Had a blast at @Abiomed PROTECT IV Launch at SSM and @SLUHospital. Can't wait to see what the future of revascularization brings! @Hiren_PatelMD @Ruthvik_SM @SLUCards @KishoreHarjai #WIIC

Got to catch up with two of my senior fellows, Dr. Zach Oman (now almost halfway through his IC fellowship) and @Ruthvik_SM, at the Arch Elite fellows course this weekend. Looking forward to attending @ArchSymposium! @SLUCards #WIIC

Thank you @ACCinTouch for an excellent conference and educational experience at #ACC22! Glad I got to attend in person with many of my co-fellows #SLUCardio @Ruthvik_SM @Hiren_PatelMD @wanshi667
