Truly amazing and informative lectures. I was looking forward to the power point PDF which is currently not working. Hopefully it will be fix soon. I am a great fan of yours. Certainly this lecture like the rest of your lectures requires multiple hearing and this is my day one.
What a pleasure having a lecture from Dr Smith. he made great contributions in the field and improve lots the Sgarbossa criteria. is like having lectures from a "Celebrity". You are the Man!!! thanks
Steve, extremely helpful ; very neatly and clearly presented. it is interesting. we rarely use ticagrelor in our shop. we need to transfer all our "hearts" to a nearby center, and the FMC to PCI is mostly greater than 90 minutes, so we give TNK. i haven't used IV plavix for years. i wonder if that is regional, or have i been providing less than optimal care? however, parts I and II of your lecture is extraordinarily helpful thank you tom
Tom, I don't think there is IV Plavix. The recommendation is to give po plavix with lytics. And if the patient will then go to PCI, he/she will need plavix or ticagrelor, and only plavix is proven safe with lytics (though probably both are) Steve
Thank you very much for these amazing and highly informative lectures. I am a Cardiology fellow and your ECG lectures made me feel that now I could do justice to my role as a fellow when reviewing patients. Your ECG blogs are amazing as ever and please continue your great work.
