Wild to read. Hard to even imagine EP fellows getting pulled off EP in the Us to go admit 80 year patients with pneumonia or HHS.

In England, EP training is being squeezed by the need for dual accreditation in general internal medicine.
We argue that this risks a generation of underprepared specialists.

Reminds of this slide I have shown over the years of genes harboring (human) mutations conferring resistance to MI and ASCVD
These targets getting a lot of attention.
Great to see @TheBHF supporting screening programmes for important diseases. Screening often attracts criticism in resource-poor systems, but FIND-AF shows a potential way to reduce devastating strokes from an often asymptomatic disease.
📢 Late-Breaking at #ESC2025: FIND-AF clinical trial (n≈2,000)
➡️ Machine learning–guided screening identifies a subgroup with 8-fold higher risk of AF among patients at elevated stroke risk.
💡 AI could transform early AF detection

Why can I see Registered Nurse roles out for £12-14 per hour in Yorkshire.
I was earning £11.09 TEN years ago.
What a travesty.

A very stimulating conversation at the ESC TV Roundtable on making global cardiology sustainable for all on Saturday @BritishCardioSo thanks for the support @TheBJCA - if you missed the session catch-up on esc365.escardio.org/esc-cong… #ESC2025

even less suspicious (~2.5 coin flips!) to see that much variation in average effects between trials if including REDUCE-AMI
forgive me if I've left off other recent trials on this question (I'm sure someone else has already done a more systematic meta-analysis)

Hope so. Dealing with the NHS these days feels like undergoing ritual humiliation: terrible service while treating you as if you are a child. There is no other domain in my life in which people are so patronising while delivering such a substandard product.

The GMC needs a hard reset:
🔹Clear out current “leadership”.
🔸Full democratisation of the council and all key leadership positions.
🔹Binding vote of no confidence processes.
🔸Return to doctor only regulator status.
🔹Spending surplus rebate mechanism for working doctors.
⚠️Newly released emails show @gmcuk described itself as "anxious" about the Leng Review's work on scope of practice for associates
The regulator asked Prof Leng to meet Charlie Massey ahead of the roundtable to "develop and frame the questions". Trying to influence the agenda?

🚨Delighted to share that our paper evaluating the UK interventional cardiology training programme has been published!
📄 ow.ly/qjnZ106bEeg
We provide quantitative data on procedural volumes and trainee confidence across a range of interventional techniques.
This is a great point. I never understood why we ask about achievements outside medicine when assessing someone's aptitude in medicine.
Excuse me, what?
I’ve been working with an IVF startup, @herasight, that has already screened hundreds of embryos. Today we come out of stealth with a paper showing that our predictors for 17 diseases — validated within-family — beat the competition, with improved performance in non-Europeans🧵
