Great need to know for EP Cardiology
🧵regarding the 'figure-of eight' suture and also the 'pursestring' suture. We'll go over what they are for, some technical pointers, and errors that can be made while doing them. (1/ )

Good history lesson #pacemaker
Gen Change from today. I noticed the bright material wrapped around both leads and wasn’t sure what it was. Clearly not the suture sleeves. A quick Google search gave me the answer. Do you know what they are without Googling?#EPeeps
I love freeing patients from their mythic belief that a morning cup of #coffee will worsen #afib. Very liberating
When I was training, we were made to believe the myth that #coffee is arrhythmogenic. Caffeine antagonizes adenosine receptors and protects against CAD, arrhythmia, #dementia, and death. 1-3 ☕️/day to protect the 🫀and probably also the 🧠. I’m drinking Ethiopian coffee today.

Replying to @nickmmark
First, we need to understand how an ECG works: We use a pair of electrodes to measure the difference in electrical potential between two points on the body. We call this pair a “lead". For example the left and right arm form lead I. This was true in 1911 & still is in 2022. 4/

Great map @rockstarmaps

Great example
NOT MPLANT Lite case. LVAD patient DFTs > 40. First fibroplasty to access to azygous. Then JL3.5 to engage with contrast THEN advance wire (not wire poke & Pray). Curved Worley sheath less kinking. with this success <hour. Can u do this? If expert EP implanter? #EPeeps #ICRT

SARS-COV2 VUI — 202012/01 is likely to become the primary circulating virus and is much more contagious. It seems the choice for most will be either 1. Take a chance with a new vaccine. 2. Take a ride on the Covid Carrousel. I took the vaccine. #COVID19 #MedTwitter

My daughter had to sign a contract with her university agreeing to accept expulsion if she took part in this type of public health nightmare. #RoseGardenMassacre

Oh my, should I just pack the waiting room and tell patients to write letters to their congressman
On CMS' "Office Hours" call today, a CMS representative confirmed that telehealth coverage will expire this Friday unless the public health emergency is extended.
Please people try to help stop the path to no hospital beds #COVID #coronavirus #StayAtHome
