Our arrhythmia clinics are full of people (often ♀️) whose symptoms have been dismissed as "panic attacks" - and many of them are curable by ablation!

Another example of how a “panic attack” in a woman is not really a panic attack but an arrhythmia. #listentowomen #heartmonth #goredforwomen

Literally every single stent trial finds that “fixing” this lesion does not reduce mortality or MI. Here is the Courage trial, but there are more. nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…
We should have @CommunityNotes on this. @DavidLBrownMD @AndrewFoy82 @RFRedberg h/t @bogdienache

Another life saved by the CT scan! This is what 90% blockage looks like. 50, vegetarian, no alcohol, exercise, no symptoms, ldl cholesterol 90 (in the green). Took the scan, got a stent & avoided the silent killer. Do the same. $150 & 15 mins can save your life! 🤍🙏

Doing a quick jog before getting into cold water will help to increase your core temperature and heart rate to help you deal with the cold water shock when entering the water. It will also help to loosen your muscles, improving your flexibility during swimming.

Tom Jones sits in with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and cranks up "Long Time Gone" to eleven. You’ll never hear a more rockin’ version.

**Fully-funded PhD scholarship in Molecular and Cellular Cardiology**. The Swansea-Houston team of Chris George, John Cooke and @facaraff are exploring a new approach to 'rewinding' heart disease?
We'd love you to join us on this intriguing journey.....

WILL SMITH has started his Catalina Channel solo swim, leaving Emerald Bay on the island and being escorted by Pacific Moon. Dolphins off the bow already and all going well. 0.5kts current from the NW so our heading is c. 15degs off target. All OK @RedTopSwim

I’ve been telling everyone this! We were taught that asymptomatic postural drop didn’t really matter. But it is the opposite ! 👏👏
