Atrial Septal Aneurysm (ASA) in cardac CT. Usually defined as excursion > 10 mm (sometimes > 15 mm) to either side. Prevalence in the population likely around 2% (higher in populations with stroke of possible embolic origin). #cardiotwitter European Society of Cardiology Heart_SCCT FAU Erlangen-Nbg

Let’s not forget, the @cmsgov $/RVU conversion has decreased reimbursement universally every year since 2020. 6% cut in reimbursement through a pandemic…in an economic setting of 4.5% inflation. How does that make sense to have over a 10% pay cut for our “healthcare heroes”?

Sad to report that a very physically active 66 year old patient with negative nuclear 2 years ago, taken off statin with 'clean bill of health', just passed away of SCD/MI with severe 3 VD. Wife had to do CPR. Wrong test, wrong answer. Need more CAC testing in asymptomatic pts
