If you get an Apple Watch Hypertension Notification, then you are 5 TIMES MORE LIKELY to have hypertension than if you didn't use your watch (LR+ 5.4). This is moderately useful test information. You should definitely get your blood pressure tested. A thread.. #CardioSky #MedSky #Apple #AppleWatch

Query sarcoid, normal #WhyCMR, so then should we do FDG-PET? Not much benefit.

● Think about cardiac metastasis in cancer patients with LVH. ● Secondary cardiac tumors way more common than primary. ● Symptoms: nonspecific, leading to delayed diagnosis. ● CMR is the gold standard for tissue characterization and tumor diagnosis. #whyCMR #CardioSky #MedSky

IVR has constant volume, but shape change. All parts of the ventricle relax, but the apex relaxes most, and hence is most Energy demanding, the shortening of the base is not wasted work. The reconfiguration generates apical flow, giving momentum to the subsequent early filling
