@ShariqShamimMD @evandrofilhobr @jedicath @Almanfi_Cardio @mmamas1973 @iamritu @Pooh_Velagapudi @poojaotherwise @EM_RESUS @abadkhan2002 @DrJayMohan Paramedics routinely now give 5,000 units Heparin in the Scottish Highlands due to the long transfer time.

We discussed this observation on #CardioTwitter: several noted that administering a heparin bolus the ER (100 units/Kg, not max 4,000), rather than waiting until the cath lab, improves TIMI flow by the time the patient reaches the cath lab. This is now supported by an RCT!

Historic day today for cardiology! IVUS or OCT as Class I recommendation in PCI of complex lesions. Congratulations to #ESCCongress2024 for leading the way in positioning IVI in this category. @escardio #CardioOCT
New ESC Chronic Coronary Syndrome Guidelines just out. For LM stenoses w/ low Syntax Score, both surgery and PCI - as long as full revasc is possible - have Class IA recommendation. Image-guided PCI has Class IA for LM / bifu / long lesions #Cardiotwitter @escardio #ESCCongress

This 5-year study by He et al, shows that using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) during PCI for STEMI patients significantly lowers both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality compared to standard angiography. Read the full paper 👇 https://t.co/HLROr9uXg0
