The best part of my job is working with amazing people. We missed lots of key players last night but here are some of the members of the fabulous #ORBITA team plus some of the partners who support them!

Pleased to present our work with #EAPCI examining differences in consenting practice in interventional cardiology across Europe #ESCCongress Rasha Al-Lamee EAPCIPresident NHLI Donna Fitzsimons

In our CPET-stratified analysis🏃of ORBITA published in #EHJ , we show that the presence of an oxygen pulse plateau correlated with ⬆️ ischaemia on stress echo and FFR.

So grateful to Dr Thomas Keeble Rasha Al-Lamee Dr Peter O'Kane Peter Haworth Manas Sinha Neil Ruparelia Helen Routledge Tushar Kotecha tim kinnaird Nick Curzen Ricardo Petraco James Spratt, Rupert Williams and of course Michael Foley for driving this forwards!

Contemporary trials of mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischaemic stroke confirm a reduction in disability with a large effect size. The pooled available evidence also supports a significant reduction in all-cause mortality at 3 months. eurointervention.pcronline.com/article/mechan…

Thanks Sadiq Khan for listening to our calls. Congestion charge is now lifted which is wonderful. However I also asked for something else - we need parking restrictions across London waived for all key workers. Sorry to be greedy but please can you do that too?

Sadiq Khan we key workers need your help! Please can you wave the congestion charge and any parking restrictions for us in London? We need to be able to drive across the city. Some of us doctors will cross cover 3 hospital sites very soon Iqbal Malik Sukh Nijjer #keyworkers

#ISCHEMIA and #ORBITA are not trials of Revasc vs. OMT (common misconception).

Both arms get 'OMT', so the trials examine the *additive* benefit of Revasc on a background of medical therapy.

Here's why assessing quality of medical therapy is critical:
