Rain cut short our day by a game but ended with a 17-6 win over NY Inferno Showcase 16U. Highlight of today was Anna with a OTF 💣.

Excited to get out on the field. See us in Ohio this weekend. @teampafastpitch

@drjromeo describing HiHO. High risk hemodynamic optimization- patients with multivessel disease and cardiogenic shock not candidates for CABG receiving Impella 5.5 with goal of Native Heart Survival!

Left Ventricular Unloading in High-Risk PCI | New England Journal of Medicine nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE… The issue is not that MCS doesnt prevent PCI induced stunning (why would it?), but that perhaps longer post PCI support is required for myocardial recovery to occur #5.5

Wonder if this is why we still see pressure drops sometimes across long stents despite Image guided optimization #DefineGPS. Wave reflection off strut edges. This is the noise reduction system implemented at Schipol @DrAllenJ
