@NSC_Stats Agree. Feel like we are ahead of where we expected and could even improve quite a bit with the current squad and even more with some smart moves. 🤞

1/ Renal Denervation- which system works? The two main players in the space are ultrasound guided (@ReCorMedical Paradise) and radio frequency (@MedtronicCRDN Simplicity). When starting a new program how do you choose? Let’s review #RDN #CardioX #NephroX #NoCOI

Lots of (appropriate) renewed “buzz” about IVI 👁️with publication of recent 2024/2025 ESC and ACC/SCAI guidelines. If you’re not imaging pre-, intra-, and post-PCI: why not? If your Cath Lab doesn’t support IVI 👁️: why not?…

This year I am late in #my_4_slides on my most important takeaways from #CTO2025 Lots of great stuff and I will start with the intriguing #CTO #PCI techniques I will try in 2025. 1-HDR presentation by @realarainmd He explains it perfectly, his cases on X are enjoyable. In a very simple way 1-Stick the cap (a few mm) 2-Advance MC- pull wire while dripping contrast (prevent air trapping in the MC) 3-Inject slowly <0.5 cc 4-Analyze and decide next steps If intraplaque staining, nontip Fielder XT. If extraplaque, move down your algorithm (stick again or use other techniques) #cardioX #accfit

@VincentRK @AaronGoodman33 @chadinabhan @Rfonsi1 When MOC becomes necessary for maintaining licensure, the ballgame’s over and states will lose their autonomy to regulate physicians. Fortunately, the Supreme Court has already seen through @TheFSMB agenda for nationwide regulation of dentists drwes.blogspot.com/2018/08/federa…

@CMichaelGibson Been there, done that. Silly to think cardiologists can do a better job than cardiologists already have (like @InfoNbpas ). Anything else is corrupt. Prove me wrong.

Should professional societies lead the creation of a new cardiovascular board or should it be spearheaded by a new group ?

This is such sad news. I think we all wanted @ACCinTouch to take over our certification in #cardiology & not leave to the ABMS. Cardiology is often a Department, not within a Division of Medicine. We need to separate to make this happen. 😢😢😢 #CardioTwitter
