What does a general twitter (X) user think of medical tweets? Do we need “Best-Use Practices” for physicians who post cases? Our work just published in #JACCAdvances JACC Journals👉🏻Public Perception on the Use of Twitter by Cardiologists 👈🏻Owais Abdul-Kafi, MD 🫀 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Risk similar
Benefit Rx >>> HF
Benefit Rx earlier HF
Tolerability Rx >>HF
Safety Rx >>HF
Costs Rx <<< HF
Value Rx >>>HF

Wrap up #ACC23 Trials

“While AI algorithms may one day independently learn to read CT scans…and provide medical diagnoses, the low-hanging fruit is in improving physician efficiency, de-tethering clinicians from the computer.”

One of the hidden gems and highlights of #ACC23 - simulated patient case facilitated by Michael J. Ackerman MD,PhD on evaluating syncope, from intake at 1st clinic visit, to clinching dx and managing #LQTS ! Thanks for the tremendous teaching. #ACCFIT American College of Cardiology

UIC Cath Lab #ACC23 Live Case team assembled. Join us at Session 202 Great Hall at 1:45 for complex PCI and Session 203 at 4:15 TAVR.
