Thanks Vass Vassiliou for the shout out! Yes…I’ve decided that Twitter is finally ready for me 😬. I’m looking forward to connecting with the online cardiac and echo community….and hopefully not embarrassing myself too much in the process. BSEcho

Big shout out to the BSEcho team for the inaugural registrar training day. A huge amount of time and effort has gone into this…but well worth it.

Love this…didn’t we use to call those ‘echo beats’…? P waves not regular because the retrograde ‘P’ resets the sinus node. Also the P wave buried in the terminal aspect of the third QRS doesn’t have the same morphology as the others: it’s negative in lead II (a pseudo ‘S’)!

Great programme and an amazing line up of speakers. Anyone who wants an introduction to stress echo should consider a (virtual) trip to East Bohemia!

At least these days there’s no more ‘white coat hypertension’ 🙄😬😂

Ummm…this is beyond disturbing. Government tried to cancel education conferences because lead speakers disagreed with government policy. Also keeping ‘files’ on individuals who speak out against DfE and government: The Guardian apple.news/A-KHd5YD7QfGaX…

Completely agree. Underrated. Underused. Physiologically makes sense. Certainly the best data (in my opinion) for interpreting AS in what is a phenomenally challenging group of patients.

Ummm….none of these 😂😂 Vmax or mean gradient.

RE the AS discussion (and to toot my flute)…this took A LOT of time to write…it was shredded several times by reviewers…but after much blood sweat and help from coauthors I’m very proud of it. Even though only about 10 ppl have read it 🙄😂 echo.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.15…

And shout out to those whose help was invaluable when writing it… Shaun Robinson Prof Dan Augustine Benoy Shah MD Sanjeev Bhattacharyya Prof David Oxborough

Ok on this note…what are the best examination features of severe AS? I’ll go first… I was once taught my someone ‘old school’ to feel for apical-carotid delay. I’d recommend it. If you can feel maximal apical pulsation BEFORE the carotid it’s always severe AS. Simples

#BSEcho2023 What a great 2 days for our amazing echo community. 💥1247 attendees!! 💥 Look forward to seeing everyone in Edinburgh for #BSEcho2024 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 👍🏾

Boooooom!!!! Thanks to everyone who made it possible. What an awesome couple of days. Now for next years programme…🙄
