We have decided it is time to join here as well as our other social media channels, so we can continue to share our work and engage with our worldwide community.

Very tempted to take this to the next Cardiorenal MDT. Must tell Alfred.

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

Low yield in family screening of relatives of probands with true Idiopathic VF, again underscoring importance of working up the index patient well!

Back for Day 2 at the AICC annual congress - Greg Mellor treating us to an excellent run through of Idiopathic VF; look for causes of unexplained cardiac arrest first!

I'm married to one, so I live vicariously through her caffeine habits. But in truth, I'll drink anything that isn't tea.

A whizz through Cardiac Sarcoid with Eleanor Wicks at the AICC - if you look, you will find it, beware of mimics, get the MDT on board, and treat! HF meds, devices and immunosuppression all have a role. #CardioSky

Instant coffee with cow's milk. But if you're doing the coffee run, I'll have a cortado.

This is a very valuable resource. Thank you for curating this!

Joining the Association for Inherited Cardiac Conditions annual conference virtually today - some excellent talks planned, including on Screening, HCM and Neuromuscular associated cardiac disease. #CardioSky

This is very interesting - we're currently reviewing our inpatient referral pathways precisely because 60-70 referrals/day in a busy teaching hospital is not manageable by 2 junior doctors.

Very helpful, thank you! Will keep an eye out.

It would be baa-ad of me not to.

Making the slow but steady migration from Twitter. Always keen for recommendations on accounts to follow!
