NPO after midnight for a heart cath may soon be outdated business. We don't do it for STEMI patients. Study shows no harm and happier patients tctmd.com/news/no-fastin… #radialfirst #PCI #CardioTwitter #Cardiology #catheterization #NPO

Med schools should not only teach history taking, but also patient redirection. It's tough, and nuanced... but "never interrupt a patient" is not the right approach (I'm sure many will be triggered by that statement). But being a good doctor does not mean...

Is there evidence that shows forcing patients to eat “cardiac” or “renal diet” during their hospitalization improves outcomes? I am trying to find data on this. often hospital food choices are limited as diets are more restricted, often causing ⬇️ po intake.

And more importantly, the moment you decide to put in the consult to Cardiology, please stop flooding the patient with continuous fluids!

Had an interesting chat with a patient recently which made me think of “shared decision making”. It’s central to the way we practice, but there are limits. An elderly patient has very severe coronary artery disease. I said there are 3 options we’ll discuss at MDT 1/8

LUCAS device works so much better than manual CPR. Persistent VF repeated shock and not getting out of VF (No ROSC), LUCAS generating decent BP despite no organized rhythm. LM-LAD PCI in limited views, 1 shock post PCI = sinus rhythm like magic!!!! #cardiacarrest #CardioTwitter

1/THREAD Why would adenosine, a purine nucleoside, be able to treat supraventricular tachycardias (SVT)? And why are its effects so short lived (e.g. <2 seconds)? The answers will change the way you think about this drug. #tweetorial #medtwitter

1/6 In acute myocardial infarction (AMI), serum potassium levels are often low. And patients with AMI are at risk for ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation. Does hypokalemia cause VT/VF? 🤔Or, is there an alternative explanation?

Atrial kick matters more in some than others. Note the drop in systolic BP when accelerated junctional rhythm overtakes sinus rhythm. V-V synchrony and rate are the same. Only a loss of A-V synchrony explains the abrupt 24 point drop in SBP.

Makes the point that hypotension is not a requirement for cardiac tamponade. BP can be maintained by peripheral vasoconstriction for a while.

1/2 #CICU Week: re-upping these #ProTips👇. #1 For conical sheaths “plug” needs to match the “hole”: if there’s exsanguination around the conical sheath…push it in. #2 Remember cantalever (seesaw) principle when you attempt manual compression…and when you secure the sheath…

Can I just vent for a second? Cardiology consult for clearance for EGD by GI has to be the most annoying consult. If the patient needed a stent, would you clear them while they're hemorrhaging? Oh no, just do the scope. This defensive, medicolegal nonsense is exhausting.

Two years into the pandemic… With all vaccines available…. With so many vaccinated… With lots of PPEs availability and proper use by HCWs… Having a no visitor policy in hospitals won’t ever make sense to me. This is the time to be with our loved ones; when they’re sick.
