Ex:potentially beneficial alternative treatments for heart failure

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids—think fish oil—can lower a patient’s risk of heart failure and help treat symptoms associated with heart failure

@Heart_SCCT @aapmHQ

Beneficial:
Omega-3:They should always be used in moderation, as taking too much may lead to a heightened risk of atrial fibrillation

Yoga & Tai chi may improve quality of life & decrease blood pressure if practiced in addition to standard, recommended treatments

Ex: Potentially harmful alternative treatments for heart failure

Vitamin D supplements have not been proven to benefit heart failure patients and “may be harmful” when taken with certain heart failure medications

#RSNA2022 #RSNA22 diaries - Part 2
Conversations of MP with MDCT and Oarm re #RSNA2022 meeting

MDCT: Hey doc, O-arm is on his way. We want to hear more about @RSNA

MP: I only have 30 min as I need to attend #IRB meeting

MDCT: Ok doc, tell us about technical exhibits?
1/
MP: Technical exhibits were again quite interesting, sprawling over both North and South side @MccormickPlaceM One highlight of walking through technical exhibits was meeting friends after a long time

MDCT: How was the sessions on #PCCT?

2/ Image
MP: They were good, however, since there is only one vendor who has received FDA clearance, all talks were based on that one vendor for #PCCT. I wish other vendors get their systems approved for clinic use soon

O-arm: Anything new to keep all those attendees entertained?

@aapmHQ

MP: As usual, the meeting was so rich with scientific information, however, many overlapping tracks.

Conversations between UL & MP re studies w & w/o contrast
UL-Ultrasound
UL: Hey doc! We have a new probe (7.5 MHz), & he keeps bugging me about studies w & w/o contrast with #CT & #MRI

MP: That’s easy girl. Why are you having difficulty explaining.

1/
UL: You don’t know doc; this probe thinks he is high frequency & don’t seem to agree on what I say. Just tell me how I can explain in simple terms.

MP: I will try by two images I took at RSNA. Consider 1st photo without contrast & then 2nd photo as study with contrast
@RSNA
2/
MP: See the differrence

UL: Not bad doc, I will try explaining to him as you said. BTW, the #RSNA cutout looks good, please don’t mistake me, that is better than the one with contrast (2nd w you)

MP: Girl, you always pull my leg. I should stop talking w you.
