Artists and photographers showcase their best work….maybe EKG techs should do the same #cardiotwitter #TimingIsEverything

"Focus on finding your passion and following that through residency."
In this Mentor Shoutout, Dr. Alex Talishinsky reflects on the encouragement he received from Dr. Olujimi Ajijola during residency & how that mentorship helped shape his decision to stay at UCLA for fellowship
“EV-ICD is contraindicated in patients with prior sternotomy”….not so fast!
Congrats to @jess_mao for showcasing the preparation and use of a novel videoscope to break the anatomical barriers for implant 🔥👏💪 @CedarsSinaiMed #CedarsSinaiEP

No egos and no assumptions at the quarterly #LACityWide fellows conference 🔥
#EPfellows take note…
Three Section Chiefs of EP (Mike Shehata, @NigelGupta @DavidParkLab1) are up debating the mechanism of long RP tach w/ very short AH. 💪👏
@CedarsSinaiMed
A real treat to always have the master of defibrillation science Chuck Swerdlow @Magician3141 at our weekly #EPfellows Device-based conference 💪🔥👏🙏
Talking about waveforms impedance pulse duration and the historical term of “tilt” @CedarsSinaiMed #CedarsSinaiEP
Correct Answer: Keep NPO
The combo of
✅wide LBBB QRS > 150 AND
✅1st degree AV block PR > 240 is the highest risk combo for impending heart block post tavr (PR here is 360ms)
Keep NPO + call EP
EKG 6 hrs later…(as expected)..👇
Plz share! #Cardiotwitter #TeachtoLearn
The following EKG was obtained 0600 POD#1 after uncomplicated TAVR. Overnight tele was normal. Patient asymptomatic.
What is the next best step?

Dear Friends: I would appreciate your response to this brief, anonymous poll of VT ablation after a first appropriate ICD shock. I will present the aggregate results at the VT symposium in NYC. Thank you for collaborating! forms.gle/FVAtvzMfzCBkkbZj6

The heart’s constant beating may actively suppress tumor growth in cardiac tissues, a recent Science study reports. This is because cellular pathways in these tissues alter gene regulation in cancer cells to keep them from proliferating.
The findings shed light on the role of mechanical forces in protecting the heart from cancer and may pave the way to new cancer therapies based on mechanical stimulation.

Correct Answer : A + C
VA time is 85ms
✅ VOP from RV inf base (V6+)
✅ eccentric A sequence advanced
✅ VAV response = ❌AT
✅ SA vs VA markedly different =❌ORT
✅ PPI long =❌ORT
This is slow-slow variant AVNRT 💪 #EpFellows

VOP during tach👏💪 what mechanism is ruled OUT?

Correct Answer: AVN only
Key points for #EPfellows
✅ surface EKG first
✅ single atrial sequence
✅ beat 2 vs 4 - fused vs V capture
✅ shorter VA fused vs pure V = nodal response.
✅beats 1 & 3 - narrow QRS pure H capture
✅ beat 1 = A + H capture = SA very short
