Cardiology research is “on FiRE” in Portsmouth today. 2 wonderful cases using in depth coronary physiology and imaging as part of the Orbita Fire study. As always super support from the wonderful @fiyyazAJ, Chris and team.

Fentanyl is a commonly & legally used opioid in medical practice. A news article now says that it “raised death rates for cocaine users”. Isn’t illicit drug use illegal and harmful in principle ? 🧐
Fentanyl has raised death rates for cocaine users—who often don’t know the opioid is present. In New York City, 81% of cocaine deaths in 2020 involved fentanyl. on.wsj.com/3gyeeJB

The SR beat preceding a PVC has abnormal strain/dyssynchrony compared to other SR beats. This means the heart somehow knows a PVC is coming! Nice work by C Alhede, @satoshihgc @AlexiosHadjis AddThis | Home authors.elsevier.com/a/1fKQt…
