Excited to work with the future of Cook County Cardiology!! Congrats team!

Now I know why statins can lead to new-onset diabetes! #CardioTwitter Nataliya Pyslar Vince Siebert

I got a feeling, if I’m ever admitted, I’d be an automatic “DIVA protocol” even if I’m not a difficult IV

Tony Breu Max Brock Vince Siebert @AlexMargineanMD Yuliya Mints VA Boston Joint Chiefs Rahul Ganatra The Funshul So RCRI is fine if you remember to go by a score of 0 means low risk and anything above means you don’t know. For other tools (Gupta, ACS, AUB-HAS2) are all fine to figure out that question of risk stratification. My website has the algorithm we use: preopevalguide.com

Love your website and I tell all my residents to use it as a resource! Thanks for all the insightful comments. Really appreciate your and Tony Breu’s wisdom here in the thread

Kurt Pfeifer Tony Breu Max Brock Vince Siebert @AlexMargineanMD Yuliya Mints VA Boston Joint Chiefs Rahul Ganatra The Funshul RCRI 0, 1, 2, 3+ corresponding to 1.6%, 4.0%, 7.9%, and 12.9% major CV events and death at 30 days (no MINS included) (n=35,815 patients)

Max Brock RCRI required 2d LOS & only incl in-hosp complic-not 30d. In our AmJCard paper, we found MICA to have the lowest % but when elevated was more accurate. These are only tools to help. I think <1% is an artificial cutoff as we treat pts w/ 2-3% predicted risk in a similar fashion.

❤️Happy Heart Month!❤️Cook County Cardiology celebrating #WearRedDay and supporting women and cardiovascular health. Did you know cardiovascular disease is the number 1 cause of death in women?

Come work with us! Wonderful mission-driven hospital in an academic center in downtown chicago! We are undefeated against the fellows in the Bruce protocol challenge, so runners and triathlete are a plus too, Rami Doukky. Maybe add that to the posting?

Attenuation correction no longer shows a clear anterior defect. Would you still call it? Saurabh Malhotra @cardioimage Rami Doukky Nataliya Pyslar The Funshul Vince Siebert
