Did you know humpback whale heart rates drop as low as 2-5 bpm druing deep dives? And that their QRS duration is about 180-200 ms? #ESCCongress not only educated us on the latest guidelines and research - exciting extravaganzas taught us so much more! #SaveTheWhales @pacificwhalewatchassociation.com

Prof. Achenbach of @fau.de educating us on humpback whale cardiology at one of the many extravaganzas.

@fau.de study on STEMI puncture-wire times just presented at #ESCCongress by @mguenesaltan.bsky.social 👉 crossover radial to femoral ↔️ longer PWT 👉 immediate ICA of culprit ↔️ shorter PWT 👉 improve PWT by pref. femoral access & no visualization of other vessels 🔗 esc365.escardio.org/presentation...

Preliminary results of our @fau.de #ABC-FFR trial at #ESCCongress #WCCardio 👉 neither FFR nor NHPR influenced relevantly by PCI in parallel vessel 👉 influence of parallel lesions on each other's hemodynamics negligible for intracoronary pressure measurements 🔗 esc365.escardio.org/presentation...

Our @fau.de study on NSTEMI symptoms at #DGK2025JT 👉 1/5 present w/o chest discomfort, esp. women, pts w/ diabetes, no FHx of CAD, anemia & AFib 👉 pts w/o chest discomfort experience worse in-hospital outcomes, partially mediated by delayed invasive management 🔗 doi.org/10.1007/s00392-025-02628-1

Absence of chest discomfort in type 1 NSTEMI patients: predictors and impact on outcome - Clinical Research in Cardiology

Background The absence of chest discomfort has been hypothesized to delay treatment and consequently result in worse outcomes in patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Methods ...

Our study on disparities in NSTEMI symptoms at #ESCCongress2024 👉 women, elderly, diabetics and non-smokers more likely to present w/o chest discomfort ➡️ more vulnerable for delayed diagnosis & treatment @UniFAU @GaedeLuise @monique_trobs @M_Marwan_ @Steph_Achenbach
