💬 Viewpoint by Jesse Burk-Rafel, MD, MRes, and Robert Wachter, MD: In the era of #AI in #medicine, #physician training may need to emphasize bedside clinical skills, management reasoning, and critical appraisal rather than encyclopedic recall alone.
The proposed educational impact is a longitudinal approach to training physicians to work effectively with and without #AI.

An excellent 🧵 to read.
•
But epsilon waves are often absent and here I might try to see a slow S wave upstroke in the right precordial leads suggestive of ACM (ARVD).
•
ECHO pointed to cardiomyopathy.
We can't expect ECG to be one and only tool for the correct diagnosis.
Inspired by my professor, Dr. @AslangerE, and the book I've been eagerly waiting for.
His "Diagnostic Stamp" concept in OMI made me wonder: should we also look for a diagnostic stamp when evaluating life-threatening arrhythmias?
A different kind of diagnostic stamp.

Somewhere online there is a free tool that makes your next cardiology topic click. They live on many sites, from many creators.
We brought 92 tools into one interactive flipbook: tools.rueyhu.com/library/. For students, housestaff, APPs, attendings & anyone interested in #MedEd.

Many patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome in whom MI has been ruled out remain at risk for cardiovascular events; whether further investigation reduces risk is unknown. Research findings from the TARGET-CTCA trial are summarized in a new Quick Take video. nej.md/4faiQAK

30–40% of people will faint at some point in their lives.
About 1 in 10 cases is cardiac—and those are the ones that may significantly impact prognosis.
@MRuzieh joins bit.ly/3VjQdtZ on the Heart podcast 🎧 to discuss how we can identify cardiac causes most efficiently.

🫀 Radial-first is recommended in ACS—but why does transradial access still fail?
A meta-analysis of 12,621 patients cited in this review identified three leading causes of transradial access failure or crossover to femoral access:
🔹 Failed puncture: 35.3%
🔹 Peripheral occlusion or tortuosity: 24.5%
🔹 Radial artery spasm: 20.1%
This review explores practical considerations for successful transradial procedures, including anatomical variations, right vs. left access, distal radial access, anticoagulation, wire and catheter selection, and complication prevention.

At 10 years, the DECISION-CTO RCT found no difference for MACE with an initial CTO-PCI strategy vs no CTO-PCI, and the same applied to mortality alone. Is this the last nail in the coffin for CTO PCI? #CTO #PCI #TCT jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.…
