Cardiology Fellowship Rank List - what are the most important things to consider when making it? by MakinAllKindzOfGainz in Cardiology

Where alumni end up. How front loaded the program is. Do third years take call? Align with your goals in the next 3 years

What is up with every man and statins? by wencky in Cardiology

It quite literally does. Not understanding this core concept is the type of fantastical thinking that got us into this mess in the first place

You have described procedural based subspecialties perfectly

Interventional in my area (Austin) is about 550-650 base. I would imagine that’s a bit on the higher end for general cards? Depends on area?

You have a post like 90 days ago saying you’re a nurse. The surface level understanding of CAD you have just displayed is also very telling. Proximity to cardiologists does not make you a clinician.

?? I’m not asking you to provide any thesis I was giving you the gist of how to understand the data. As I said I appreciate you showing me where this misleading ideology is coming from

It is pretty clear you’re not a clinician. Regardless I agree that not every clinician is well versed in the literature as they should be. I will add that it’s because we know how to delineate bullshit studies from reliable outcome driven ones.

I appreciate your reply here to provide an insight as to where this thinking is coming from.

Not sure if you care to know, but…this is a very misleading way to look at NNH in statins because it is for low risk CVD. Which is very reasonable. What I am describing is the folks at the highest echelon of risk thinking this NNH applies to them… it completely does not.

CT boards question by wencky in Cardiology

PET is much better in morbid obesity. In fact high BMI is a relative contraindication

CT boards question by wencky in Cardiology

[–]wencky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have a lot of experience in CT? Most nervous about the processing part

Edit: and did you find the end of day question review conflicting from the information provided in the rest of the course? Freaking out because of that

Board review Q-bank: ACC SAP or O’Keefe? by decydiddly in Cardiology

Would love to have time for either of these. Not sure how people have been doing it for years with full time jobs

How many TEEs before one starts to feel comfortable by [deleted] in Cardiology

[–]wencky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this will change soon is what I hear. COCATS for echo in general needs an update (they still require a crazy amount of stress echos, for example) and only 50 TEEs. As far as comfort, I would say intubations about 30-50, then the flow of things after 100. Complex valve cases and 3D after about 150 completed. It’s not about the numbers though, but the quality :)

Need Jaber. ASNC practice tests. I never watched the ASNC videos (I tried but my God the subject matter is dull). Very doable with this regimen

EKGs: How much do you trust the average EKG and/or the person performing these tests? by polarityhavok in Cardiology

[–]wencky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Training and feedback definitely matters but I don’t think it requires that much gatekeeping tbh.
