Aims: To understand the use of social media to advance skillsets in Interventional Cardiology. Background: Traditionally, the means to stay current in cardiology have been subscription journals and both local and national symposiums. Objective: To demonstrate the use of the Twitter platform to disseminate procedural techniques, discuss interesting cases and quiz practicing physicians and trainees as a means to educate and advance the science and skills of this subspecialty. Method: Review the specific methods by Twitter is used to stay current in Interventional Cardiology Result: Twitter has helped to advance practice techniques, assess opinions and educate Interventional Cardiologist and trainees with case presentations. Conclusion: Twitter represents an excellent interactive educational modality for the global interventional community to share procedural techniques, share opinions and stay current on topics in interventional cardiology

Background: We have had a “one call activation system” for primary PCI at our regional academic center since 1999. The ED physician initiated the system with the decision for primary PCI made by cardiologist (interventional or non-interventional) on call. But since July 1, 2009, only interventional cardiologists are involved in the decision making process. Otherwise, the comprehensive strategy remained the same. As we have reported previously, this new strategy resulted in a shortened door-to-balloon (D2B) time. In the present study, we analyzed the D2B timeline intervals to determine where the major gains were achieved. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 665 consecutive patients presenting to our institution with suspicion of acute STEMI during a 30-month period. Group 1 consisted of patients in the 12 months (July 1 2008-June 30 2009) before and Group 2 consisted of patients in the 18 months (July 1 2009-Dec. 31 2010) after the system change was instituted. Mann-Whitney U test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results: 218 patients in group 1 were taken to the cath lab of which 180 received primary PCI. 349 patients in group 2 were taken to the cath lab of which 275 received primary PCI. The results were presented in the table. Conclusions: Comprehensive strategy with exclusive involvement of interventional cardiologist resulted in a significant decrement in decision-to-balloon time. The EKG-to-decision time did not decrease, contrary to our expectation.
