Will u help this @MayoClinic lecture go viral to all in #Cardiology. Why? Dismissed #LQTS patient today after ICD extraction. Her score-3 generators, 1 recall, 2 fractured leads,& unnecessary shocks. Help stop the nonsense. LQTS does NOT equal ICD. Retweet.

I grieve @FedEx founder Mr. Fred Smith’s death. I have had the blessed privilege of knowing him, his lovely wife, his children, & grandkids for 20 yrs. I have always looked up to him & have tried to please him as if he was my own father. A giant of a man & a true American hero.

Loved seeing this post from @ACCinTouch. Wish I could have joined @mmartinezheart & my dear patient (and friend) @J_Hooper11 at the #ACCAthleticHeart conference. I am so proud of this young man. From @BaylorMBB to @sixers in the @NBA, we did it 💪🤗🦍
Dr. Matthew W. Martinez joins @sixers' Jared Butler at #ACCAthleticHeart to share the athlete’s perspective on shared decision-making in sports cardiology. 🫀🏀. @mmartinezheart @J_Hooper11 #SportsCardio #ACCSportsCardio

It was our great privilege to care for your precious daughter. Thank you for trusting us @MayoClinic @MayoClinicCV @MayoClinicKids as we strive to provide #hope & #healing for families w/ #longqtsyndrome here, there, & everywhere.
We can’t thank you enough for taking such awesome care of our girl Nina! She said she was so happy you came to the hospital to see her after her LCSD surgery! ❤️🩹#longqtsyndrome #mayoclinic #besthospitalever @MayoClinic @MJAckermanMDPhD

Dock day 2025! One of my favorite days of the year. This year it was May 3rd. For the Ackerman family, putting the dock in marks the end of another winter and the beginning of summer at our most favorite place in the world, Green Lake #Wisconsin.

Just evaluated a teenage #athlete w/ a positive #genetic test for #HCM but a normal echo. He has been disqualified for nearly one year and told by #pediatric #cardiologist - “become a couch potato, no gym class, walk slowly to catch the bus!” This has to STOP.

Sounds like a great talk from @mmartinezheart. Would have enjoyed being with you all at #ESCPrev2025. But, after a great ##EHRA25 meeting in #Vienna, thank you @EHRAPresident, it is time to head home. There is just no place like home or like @MayoClinic 🤗.
#ESCPrev2025 @mmartinezheart on #athletes w #HCM - are they really at higher risk of #SuddenDeath during #sports? @EAPCPresident @jonathankimmd @MichaelPapadak2 @SSharmacardio @s_gati @TwittAuxologico @StGeorgesU

Almost had one of my life dreams come true. On my way to @MayoClinic in #Arizona on my favorite airline @Delta and who do I meet? This is my cousin Mark. He is based out of MSP. We have 4 years for one of my dreams to come true - to have my favorite Delta captain fly me.

Thank you @Newsweek. Although I’m biased having been part of @MayoClinic since 1988 & member of @MayoClinicCV faculty since 2000, but I wholeheartedly agree 🤗. So grateful to be part of this treasured institution.
