1/ For the fellows and #ACCEarlyCareer!

It’s a coronary thrombus! When to consider thrombectomy? What do you do? Let’s walk through this…#Tweetorial

#Cardiotwitter #Cardiology #STEMI
2/ Middle age patient with hx of CAD and PCI to LAD presents with significant SOB and elevated Hs-Trop. No chest pain. No ECG changes. Echo with inferior hypokinesis.

Here’s the diagnostic with a JR4.

Notice the filling defect in the RCA. This is thrombus. How do we know?
3/ Keys of #thrombus on angiogram

🔑 contrast staining
🔑 Lack of calcium on non con image
🔑 ovoid filling defect (complete lumen)

1/8 It was not unexpected that pts w/ #STEMI would fare worse w/ than w/o #COVID19
2/8 However, our study was unique in design compared w/ prior studies, allowing for more accurate estimates of mortality risk: 1) larger, more representative cohort; 2) more contemporary control groups
3/8 We characterized mortality risk separately for pts with pre-hospital and in-hospital #STEMI

1/ 🧵

Time for a #tweetorial on simple #ECG interpretation

When I learned to read ECGs, my biggest fear was to miss an important finding!
To avoid that: Be systematic❗️

My simple approach to ECGs with 8 steps 🪜👇

#medicalstudent #education #cardiotwitter #medtwitter #EPeeps
2/

‼️ All following ECGs are with paper speed of 25 mm/s and a signal gain of 10 mm/mV ‼️

Therefore:
1 small square = 40 ms
1 big square = 200 ms

Now we are ready to read the ECG systematically
3/

1⃣ Rhythm

Sinus rhythm or abnormal rhythm?
(Also note if regular or irregular)

Normal: One P-wave precedes each QRS complex (sinus rhythm)

Interpret from the lead that shows the P-wave most clearly (usually lead II)

#ADAPTABLE: Aspirin Dosing: A Patient-Centric Trial Assessing Benefits and Long-term Effectiveness

Take 🏠:
-if the patient isn't on Aspirin, START w/ 81mg
-if the patient is on 81 mg Aspirin, STAY
-if the patient is on 325mg, MAY STAY

When use #ldtra during a #radialfirst approach?

👌if no #STEMI and:
1⃣ dialysis or CABG w/radial graft likely (better
radial artery patency) or
2⃣ left radial preferred (e.g. prior CABG: better pt
and👩‍⚕️comfort) or
3⃣ pt has thick forearm (better hemostasis) When to use #ldtra (distal ...
❓How-to #ldTRA?

Here’s a great #ECG of a man who presented to the ER with crushing chest pain.

[thread] Image
Here’s the ECG Computer Read:

"Non-specific ST abnormality, consider anterior subendocardial ischemia."

[2/x]
Take a good look at Leads V1-V3 and burn these morphologies and this pattern into your mind.

THIS is what Posterior #STEMI looks like on a Standard 12-Lead ECG!

Lots of talk about the expected surge in ICU and hosp beds with #COVID. I’ve been hearing about reducing elective case burden (great thread from @ajaykirtane about that). We should also be rethinking our hospital approach to conditions that will continue in the covid era 1/n
Most obvious is with #STEMI care. If your hospital doesn’t have an ED bypass protocol for stemis - probably a good time to develop one. Ours at @VHC_Hospital has 1 min pitstop in ed w ems txp to cath lab - less pt exposure time to ED and less burden on ED resources 2/n
Also with #STEMI care - No icu for stable pts w normal EF should be standard. For most of these pts ICU is not necc and creates unneeded exposure for pt and occupies much needed ICU beds. (I think @agtruesdell had a great thread on this a while back) 3/n

Recently in our #MICU, I took pics of the oxygen sats of patients on oxygen supplementation.

What is the optimal oxygen supplementation strategy for a clinically stable patient in the ICU?

Follow me down this #tweetorial rabbit hole. #medtwitter #pulmcc #AIMW19
1/
Given that population health improvements often come from small benefits in large populations, and the fact that #oxygen is one of the most commonly prescribed interventions in the #ICU, there is potential for benefit if we can correctly titrate our oxygen titration.
2/
I’m going to refer to hypoxia and hyperoxia in this #medthread, and I’d like to (somewhat arbitrarily) define these terms. I’ll call hypoxia anything below 90% and hyperoxia anything above 96%. This is based upon some of the literature I will discuss.
