  1. Hello Dr. Smith

    Truly amazing and informative lectures. I was looking forward to the power point PDF which is currently not working. Hopefully it will be fix soon. I am a great fan of yours. Certainly this lecture like the rest of your lectures requires multiple hearing and this is my day one.

    Thank you

  2. Thank you very much for both useful information and revision of some points. I look forward to further postings.

  3. What a pleasure having a lecture from Dr Smith. he made great contributions in the field and improve lots the Sgarbossa criteria. is like having lectures from a "Celebrity".
    You are the Man!!! thanks

    Steve, extremely helpful ; very neatly and clearly presented. it is interesting. we rarely use ticagrelor in our shop. we need to transfer all our "hearts" to a nearby center, and the FMC to PCI is mostly greater than 90 minutes, so we give TNK. i haven't used IV plavix for years. i wonder if that is regional, or have i been providing less than optimal care?
    however, parts I and II of your lecture is extraordinarily helpful
    thank you

    1. Tom,
      I don't think there is IV Plavix. The recommendation is to give po plavix with lytics. And if the patient will then go to PCI, he/she will need plavix or ticagrelor, and only plavix is proven safe with lytics (though probably both are)

    Dr Smith,

    Thank you very much for these amazing and highly informative lectures. I am a Cardiology fellow and your ECG lectures made me feel that now I could do justice to my role as a fellow when reviewing patients. Your ECG blogs are amazing as ever and please continue your great work.

    Best Wishes
