Dr. Manolo Rubio Garcia, interventional cardiologist at @sharphealthcare, treated an 86 yo with an ambiguous CTO & IVUS confirmed significant disease. He gained pedal access & used 3.5mm #ShockwaveS4 to restore flow.

Hi @AsianaAirlines! I purchased international flights for my familfy in the Philippines to visit us in the US using my own credit card. Can we waive the requirement for the physical card? Tried to call but always unavailable. Thanks!
We hoped this would happen but did not expect it...termination of left atrial flutter during VOM ethanol infusion. Hopefully it helps this patient. Nice maps @ryancolemaps@maddyferraro1@arcampado @MiguelVldrbno @TJHeartFellows
‘VT’ versus ‘SVT with aberrancy’.
The long list of VT "suggestive" ECG features is difficult to recall and apply in real time.
How can we simplify things?
Here is my ABCDE approach – five simple Qs to ask:

Nice example of propagation from a focal LAA-AT that also shows lateral to septal block across the anterior mitral line (and roof line too). Thanks @ryancolemap and your colorful EnSite X system and @MichaelCoMD (@TJHeartFellows) #EnsiteX
Deadly start to the new year in Philadelphia. Three people are dead, nine injured in separate shootings across the city since midnight. 6abc.com/philadelphia-gun-vi…
Thank you for all your replies. Yes, ESC guidelines actually recommend against upfront ILR in patients with high risk features (Figure 1 and 2) so we 1st did an EPS, and we see this interesting finding (Figure 3). Would you put in a PPM?
Have you started using high power short duration ablation settings for your repeat afib ablations? Look at this paper by my attending @FrischMd that shows some advantage. #epeeps#CardioTwitter
