#CardioNuggets 🫀 Positive remodeling on coronary CT = vessel expands at plaque site (remodeling index >1.1). It preserves lumen but is a red flag for vulnerable plaque. Often coexists with low attenuation, napkin-ring sign, and predicts ACS. #CardioTwitter #MedEd

#CardioNuggets Acceleration time and Ejection time in prosthetic aortic valve assessment: 🔹 AT = time to peak velocity 🔹 ET = total systolic ejection time Why AT/ET is useful in prosthetic aortic valves: -Gradients can be misleading—affected by flow, valve size & design -AVA

#CardioNuggets ASD Primum: Location: -Inferior portion of atrial septum (near AV valves) -part of the atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) spectrum. Associated Defects: Mitral valve cleft → MR. Sometimes tricuspid anomalies as well. ECG Findings: Left Axis Deviation (LAD)

Great case by my friend and med school alumnus, Dr. Michael Cheng!!

Docs - You want to be financial independent 15-20 years into attendinghood? It starts the moment you finish training, with the following 12 steps:

⚡️ #CardioNuggets: RVOT VT RVOT VT is the most common form of idiopathic VT in structurally normal hearts 🔍 ECG Clues: LBBB morphology (because it originates in RV) Inferior axis (points down as it exits from the outflow tract) Often monomorphic, can be

#CardioNuggets: OutflowTract VT localization tips! If the PVC comes from a structure close to the chest wall (like the RVOT free wall), it sends electricity away from V1 → you get a QS complex (all negative) and a LBBB pattern ➡️ Precordial transition is late (V4–V5) As the
