Halloween Haunt: Male 60s with chest pain for 1 hour, EKG with STE in AVR & wide spread depressions. Hemodynamically stable ➡️ CCL ➡️ here’s what angio showed. After the second Left cors shot became acutely 🤢, hemodynamics collapsed hypotension + respiratory failure. What would you do next?

World-leading cardiac surgeon Asif Hasan was surrounded by the children who received the gift of life thanks to his unerring skills at the emotional climax of another memorable Pride of Britain ceremony. 🥹 Now 70 years old, Mr Hasan has just retired after 35 years of service at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne, but just after receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award, he had an extra special surprise: a cast of patients who would not be alive without him. ❤️

This is a really bad look for the @Eagles and @NFL , as someone who treats high risk Pulmonary Embolisms, the advice to “not sleep” is a new for me. I have MANY questions for the Eagles medical staff & serious concerns for the safety of players on the team.
THEY TOLD Jalen Hurts NOT TO SLEEP 🤯 YET THEY STILL LET HIM PLAY. Are you kidding me right now???? FIRE THE ENTIRE @Eagles MEDICAL STAFF NOW. THIS IS BLATANT MALPRACTICE.

7F AR2 guide for more horizontal engagement with better passive backup support ➡️ Runthrough wire with Finecross MC to cross lesion and navigate tortuousity ➡️ IVUS did not cross / severely calcified ➡️ lesion length, tortuousity and possible calcified nodule made me choose OA over RA ➡️ 8 runs at 80rpm antegrade and retrograde ➡️ Wolverine 3.0 crossed with 6F guideliner assist at 20rpm - unsatisfactory balloon expansion ➡️ Shockwave IVL 3.0 - better expansion ➡️ DESx2 overlapping ➡️ IVUS well expanded and apposed with min MSA 5.9-8mm2.

Gene Braunwald died at 96. In a normal world, this would be front page of the NYT and WSJ. The father of modern cardiology. Fled the Holocaust as a boy Went on to save millions of lives The most important clinician-scholar of the last 50 years. We should all know his name
The American Heart Association mourns the passing of the legendary cardiologist Eugene Braunwald, M.D., widely recognized as one of the most influential figures in the history of cardiovascular medicine. Over seven decades, his work reshaped the understanding and treatment of heart disease, leading many to call him the father of modern cardiology. Braunwald was a lifelong contributor to the American Heart Association, helping advance its research and scientific mission, and was honored with some of the Association’s highest honors for his lasting influence on cardiovascular care and research. His influence extended well beyond his own discoveries, as generations of Association‑supported investigators, clinicians and academic leaders were trained by Braunwald or guided by the clinical trial standards and mentorship models he helped establish. newsroom.heart.org/news/amer…
