Excited to share the results of this multicenter registry led by @Daniele_Muser @GaetanoNucifora - In patients with apparently idiopathic non-sustained VA, nonischemic LV scar with a ring-like pattern is associated with malignant arrhythmic events. ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.1…

If you know a J-1 physician, speak up! There are over dozen categories of J-1 visa classifications-- the physician category is one. The ICE proposal should NOT apply to physicians in training. ecfmg.org/protect-ds-for-J1s ecfmg.org/annc/objection-let… federalregister.gov/document…

On self quarantine after developing symptoms. I was exposed to 2 patients initially presenting with “chf exacerbation, and “afib with rvr”. Got the look of “you’re crazy” when asking what is really driving this patient symptoms?? In the midst of a pandemic we should all have ppe
