🔥Key considerations 👇

1. #RadialFirst >> #SafeFemoral, but if doing femoral, can avoid femoral angio by using ultrasound pre, during & post sheath placement

2. Review CT. Look at native coronaries, including origin (e.g. anterior take off), any ostial disease etc

🧵 1/8 Image 🧵2/8 Few general points

🧿Make use of exaggerated respiration (have patient take slow deep breaths in & out)
🧿Avoid holding breath (can induce Valsalva & alter your measurements)
🧿Use a respirometer & multiple pressure transducers
🧿Multiple long recordings (be patient)
🧿Afib or ectopy: pace for regular rhythm
🧿Induction of PVC can be helpful 🙌
