Taking a social media break. Not sure when I'll be back. Too much screen time, you know? Wish you all well!

Myth: A patient said they were told they couldn't go swimming with dolphins since their sonar communication would mess with her ICD. A marine biologist said he has never heard of that. He is guessing the frequency of the ICD is way different than the frequency dolphins use.

I love doing V-A conduction testing while I'm doing RV thresholds. Not sure why the last 2 beats retrograde conduction got shorter but still. It's a little secret cool thing I like to do 😊 #EPEEPS #CIEDthings

I've gotten 2 helpful recommendations from patients! 1. Foam donut for SUBQ ICD side sleepers 2. Silicone nipple cover to put on (HEALED) implant site to prevent seat belt/ bra irritation! Do you guys have any helpful suggestions from patients you want to share? #EPEEPS #CIED

Tricvuspid Valves and leads have been on my brain recently. I LITERALLY ALMOST went into the OR asking "so are we jailing the lead... or what you guys doin?" ...for a MITRAL Valve. 🤦🏻‍♀️Thank goodness I critically thought before I said something 😲 I promise I know anatomy 👀🫀

From the Library of the late great Dr. Bruce Wilkoff: "Historic Highlights of Pacing/ICD and Clinical Electrophysiology". NASPE's Oral History Theatre. I figured I'll post a few pages occasionally. #EPEEPS #CIEDHISTORY #HRSHistory #NASPE This is front page, and pages 1-2.
