#Ebstein's anomaly: apical displacement of the septal tricuspid valve leaflet. Up to ~95% will also have an ASD/PFO. In-plane phase contrast stack (4-ch) and GRE/FLASH thin slice cines (SA) are extremely helpful in detecting interatrial flow (vs. bSSFP). #WhyCMR #CardioTwitter

U curve of hypokalemia
And look how much more steeply the curve goes up with hypokalaemia ...
Another blood thinner bites the dust
Prof Zannad showed the unexpected results of #COMMANDER-HF. Low dose Rivaroxaban added to the standard HF therapy in HF patients did not reduced All-cause mortality, CV mortality, MI & Stroke #ESCCongress
Interesting progress
ATTR-ACT Prof C Rapezzi showed the design & result of #ATTR-ACT trial. Tafamidis significantly reduced CV mortality & hospitalization for CV reasons. Furthermore it improved Quality of life in ATTR patient ( m + wt) #ESCCongress
One of the occasions that red cells show that they can line up in a row...
A 48-year-old male patient is coming to your hospital in pulmonary edema. The patient is intubated & unable to provide any further history. What is the cause of the pulmonary edema? #cardiology #acute #challenge #ESCardioEd #cardiotwitter

No need for NC/C ratio in this case of LV non-compaction cardiomyopathy. Who believes in RV non-compaction? #CMR #WhyCMR #Cardiology @AMoustafa_MD @Nk385 @DocStrom @AmitRPatelMD @CSmuclovisky @mariovar55 @VLSorrellImages @ErinMichos @DrRyanPDaly @HeartoMattr @the_gelf @cshenoy3

I don’t think Australia would be any different -another clear cut reason for incorporating T1 mapping in all suspected cardiomyopathy protocols #whyCMR
Cardiac amyloidosis remains underreported in US. Article recommends increased testing via T1 mapping: cardiovascularbusiness.com/t… #WhyCMR

Phew!
Normal pregnancy 🤰🏻 is associated with LV remodeling 💓without change in myocardial native T1 or global longitudinal strain despite an increase in LV mass💪🏼 @AmitRPatelMD#CardioOnstetrics #whyCMR ow.ly/9bSu30lflWP
