Elmore, Ahern, @BMLevitan, Satin et al. @universityofky shed light on RRAD, a protein that helps regulate calcium channels in the heart. They find its tail region is crucial for both attaching to the cell membrane and influencing heart function. hubs.la/Q02Gm3H60
What is this right atrial finding that can be incidentally found on #echofirst#POCUS and confused with a thrombus? [it can rarely be associated with an actual thrombus]

My arms feel as weak as this @CincyACHD@ACHD_CHI heart after a 3 hour commute home. Please come to clinic regularly so we can help prevent issues like this.

Don't you love it when your cardiac sonographer is recognized for their outstanding skills & efforts?
Its not easy to echo tiny mouse hearts. 😄
Way to go @BMLevitan.
Keep up the great work!

Impressive reduction in post-MI size:
Ahern et al show that in the absence of Rad, myocardial L-type calcium current is greater at peak, balanced by faster decay to yield no AP prolongation. Rad KO supersedes beta-adrenergic receptor signaling to the LTCC to enhance trigger Ca & heart function bit.ly/3BbIJL1
Experienced sonographers teaching first year fellows how to perform an echo. Everyone brings something to the table and contribute to the education and development of cardiology fellows. @Kentucky_Cards@VLSorrellImages@GillKentucky
Isn’t surprising that we didn’t know that up to 40% of tricuspid valves have ≥4 leaflets until this important 📝 was published in 2021! doi.org/10.1016/j.jcmg.2021.…
Direct patient care folks, when your patient has something you have never seen before, keep the you’re so different to yourself! Listen and help the patient create a care plan, nobody wants to be in the hospital!!! That’s my soapbox for the week.
