Scary Versacross transseptal case.On pulling down the sheath kept on sliding inferior hence aneurismal septum. Torking back to septum must have put pressure on AVN and complete AV block(13 sec-but felt longer). Baylis needle came to rescue.WM implanted fine.

A well-worn testing method would allow 10 times as many Americans to be tested for the coronavirus with only the resources available now. nyti.ms/3ihKrRA

Since we started using US Guided axillary vein puncture for CIED implantation people asked a lot about our workflow for these procedures. This is my humble contribution for this field. #EPeeps #ultrasoundaxillaryfirst #POCUS #cardiotwitter #medtwitter youtu.be/a19xSp7IU44 – at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The Pivotal randomised PRAGUE-17 trial showing equivalence of LAAC with NOAC in high-risk AF patients published in @JACCJournals onlinejacc.org/content/75/25… An excellent editorial by @docsaw puts it in context with previous and upcoming trials.

Prof Hein JJ Wellens, (1935-2020), one of the true legends in our field and a dear friend has passed away. A gentle and kind ‘master’ educator...his work will always be alive! #EPeeps @DrRoderickTung @True_EP @wgstevenson1 @utedrow @dzipes @BradfieldMD

Dr Kaatz is one of the most remarkable teaching attendings from my internal medicine training program @ Henry Ford Hospital. Very happy to see him recovered.

Dr. Scott Kaatz recovered from Covid-19 after receiving five experimental treatments. He says that his wife became worried when "they were having trouble getting me enough oxygen," even as he laid "prone or face down...for three days."

Serological assays have been tested for SARS-CoV-2 (see @florian_krammer & @MarionKoopmans & @bart_haagmans work - and others) prompting public calls to leverage serology to enable recovered individuals to return to the workplace, e.g.: telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/03… 14/15

This thread will take a few steps, and begins with a premise: Testing for viral shedding (via PCR) is critical and we need more of it (far more), but it's not enough. Instead, we need to implement targeted and large-scale serological surveys to test for antibodies... 1/15

Developing and deploying tests for SARS-CoV-2 is crucial

Without them, no one knows what is going on

People who are known to be immune based on such serological tests for SARS-CoV-2 are no longer infectious (they basically cannot spread the virus), and they can return to work, school, etc. This is going to be especially valuable for health care workers. 30/
