#RAPIDCTCA #AHA2020 Significant reduction in invasive coronary angiography with no evidence of harm in acute coronary syndrome. Need to look at cost effectiveness and learn from this trial and others how to select patients for #CTCA

The Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on Acute Coronary Syndromes e-conference goes live in less than 2 weeks Wednesday 25 November 10:00 -17:00 GMT FREE registration: bit.ly/ACSRegistry Speakers include @mmamas1973 @SukhNijjer Valentin Fuster, Bernard Gersh & more Programme👇

9⃣0⃣ randomised at Glenfield Hospital! @LeicResearch @Leic_hospital 🎉 Well done to Boby for randomising, PI @ALadwiniec and the rest of the fabulous team 🙌 #rapidteam #cardiologyresearch @TheBHF @agershlick @drtomkite

We have an interventional fellow post out at Glenfield Hospital, Leicester. @leic_hospital. An opportunity to train in complex PCI or structural intervention depending on interest and experience. @agershlick @ShaziaTHussain1 @Leic_hospital @BCIS_uk jobs.nhs.uk/xi/vacancy/916…

Thrombosis is a major contributor to poor outcomes in COVID. We’re randomizing 3600 hosp’d but not intubated COVID-19 pts to diff anticoagulation regimens. Investigator-sponsored study, Valentin Fuster PI. If interested email Gregg.Stone@mountsinai.org and Michael.Farkouh@uhn.ca.

So, if you think you may be having a #heartattack , call 999 - don’t stay at home. bhf.org.uk/what-we-do/new…

Congratulations @OUHospitals and PI Prof Adrian Banning. Today we've given 🟢 light to John Radcliffe Hospital to resume recruitment for @RapidNSTEMI, bringing us to a total of 2⃣1⃣ open sites! 🎉#rapidteam #cardiologyresearch #happyfriday @agershlick @drtomkite

Congratulations to @adnan_kastrati and his team at DHM for recruiting their 1st patient to our #H2020 trial! @agershlick #cardiotwitter @UoLCVS

Just had the village #defibrillator out. Thankfully, didn’t need to use it. Patient now en route to hospital.

@agershlick Yes agree that targets need to have some validity, but absence of validated targets is responsible for the variability of care currently damaging the field.

@agershlick Flip side of that is that without clear, objective targets (MSA / iFR) a successful Intervention is defined in binary terms as stent implantation or visual estimation of flow.

@ajaykirtane @MitulKanzariaMD @DrAllenJ @manesh_patelMD Regarding increased stent usage, it will depend on the cause of the residual gradient. It may only require a larger or higher pressure balloon inflation. If focal, e.g. an unrealized edge dissection or unseen focal stenosis it might require a new stent - but that's a good thing.

@RapidNSTEMI @LeedsHospitals @LeedsPci @agershlick @drtomkite @RapidNSTEMI the trial is investigating an important clinical management which may result in change in guidelines. Will the investigators consider expanding it later to LMICs to make it more generalizable?

Tercer día del #ECMOBARNA2020 Tres ponencias de expertos en #ECMO VA #ECPR @EUROSHOCKstudy Y después casos clínicos interactivos! A preparar el Kahoot! @GetKahoot. El ganador recibirá una camiseta ECMOBARNA y un libro @ELSOOrg @EuroELSO @FOAMecmo @jrdelbrio @EduardArgudo

Some exciting news coming!! Can you guess what? 😃🎉🙌#cardiologyresearch #rapidteam @agershlick @drtomkite
