@MissEborall @doctor_oxford That’s not to say the brain stem does not play a role in regulating heart rate and blood pressure - it most certainly does, but the heart beat itself is not dependent on the brain stem being intact.

@doctor_oxford I forgot to say please! Sorry

A desperate day for Archie Battersbee's parents. Even when the relationship between family & hospital is strong, these situations are heartbreaking. When trust breaks down, even more so. Some of the media reports have been confusing, so here's a short thread about brain death /

@MissEborall @doctor_oxford Happy to explain this, also a doctor. Your heart has its own inherent beating mechanism - specialised cells which are like a natural pacemaker which generates an impulse which makes the heart beat. Its beating is not dependent on brainstem function.

@cardiacpolymath @BritishCardioSo @RositaZakeri @AbbottNews @leomansell1 Yes - I found previous testing rarely mentioned in adult and even paediatric letters. Look forward to meeting you when I start at LHCH and would be great to take this work further with you @VictoriaHMcKay

Today I was able to wrap up my 4y stint for the @BritishCardioSo program committee by chairing the Top 10 trial session with @RositaZakeri, after giving an @AbbottNews sponsored symposium on #PFOc, & seeing two early career docs (@leomansell1 & @Sadaf_Raz) give their posters

@cardiacpolymath @BritishCardioSo @RositaZakeri @AbbottNews @leomansell1 Caught me in the heat of the moderation moment there Matt! Thanks for all your support and encouragement
