Impressive data... although the indication for p wire assessment according to all the data should ideally be in the range 30-90%.... not just 40-70%?

FFR use has slowly increased & was associated w/ significantly lower 1yr mortality, say authors of VA CART analysis: 17,989 patients at 66 sites @wfearonmd @JACCJournals

Agree this fascinating.... haven’t ever done this for scad myself. Strategy is to leave alone if possible but get in there if ongoing ischaemia and/or reduced flow. This is definitely an option I would consider for image-proven intramural haematoma

@DrAsifQasim @NickCurzen @theharveys @CaraCarahendry @CardiacJoshi Agree. Usually you expect the media to be more forward-thinking than traditional medicine. We will show them how to do it...I think senior figures in Interventional Cardiology are so much more forward-thinking than previous. The future is bright for IC! @WomenAs1 @BcsPresident

@NickCurzen @theharveys @CaraCarahendry @CardiacJoshi I always say ....find a concern....find a solution! BJCA article found the concern...now we (males and females) are looking for the solution. We need to start with a more optimistic outlook. Some great people in the Focus Group...

If 1000 low-risk patients would be treated with #TAVR instead of #SAVR: - 293 new-onset AF events - 70 life threatening bleeding events - 37 MACE - 21 acute kidney injuries - 14 deaths could be prevented within 1 year of procedure. https://t.co/QVRVjYoht9

Agree... it is genuinely possible that one persons perception of an interaction was that it was sexist whilst the other just thought it was unsatisfactory without knowing why... or worse, not notice anything at all!? Increased awareness for everyone will be key

@DrAsifQasim @BCIS_uk @TheBJCA @NickCurzen @CardiacJoshi @CaraCarahendry @ShrillaB @HasanShazia @DrDerekConnolly @mmamas1973 @nolanjimradial May be useful to educate people the ones who have unconsciously old fashioned ideas may be able to reflect and yes change, education through positive role modelling etc.. rather than a pogron on alleged bullies which are represented in both sexes.

Disappointing to learn only 4% of interventional cardiologists are female and 16% of trainees. Great to hear leaders in the field are calling for and engaged in action to address this #interventionalCardiology #WIC #DiversityandInclusion

Great talk @Billal72073638 very illustrative of how #imagefirst can improve PCI results. Syncvision is really useful & your #zerocontrast case rocked!

@anentar @DrAsifQasim I make them promise in 🩸 to stop on the table as the TR band goes on I then give them their “before and after” souvenir PPCI photos with “do not smoke” written on it I then give the pictures to the spouse and tell them to stop too Seems to work I can feel a trial coming on

Only 10 % of CVA pts require mechanical thrombectomy so effective triaging necessary. In Spain done via a CT scan in the ambulance ! In the Uk we have delays getting STEMI pts to hospital! In Barcelona for #ESCheartandstroke @ShrillaB @CaraCarahendry @NickCurzen @nolanjimradial

Terrible data on sexism in U.K. cardiology @BCIS_uk from @TheBJCA 16% female trainees - tertiary centres worse - bullying also endemic. We need to act on this @NickCurzen @CardiacJoshi @CaraCarahendry @ShrillaB @HasanShazia @DrDerekConnolly @mmamas1973 @nolanjimradial #medshr

One Titan of UK Interventional Cardiology passes the baton to another. An immense effort by Adrian Banning has left @BCIS_uk in fine health. No doubt @NickCurzen will take us to even higher heights. #BCISACI @MillbrookMed
