I'm doctor Steve Austin, I'm an interventional cardiologist at Hampton Healthcare System. So one of the things that's really exciting about Hamilton now is that you know now we got cardiothoracic surgery. So with the addition of cardiothoracic surgery as well as the cardiology subspecialties which are well represented. You know we've got interventional cardiology, we've got structural cardiology, we got electrophysiology, we've got general cardiology. I mean we really got all your bases covered right here under. You know, I would like you to come and take a look at Hamilton because you will be amazed at how much we have to offer. From the moment that you drive onto our campus. You'll be like, wow, I didn't realize this place was this big. I didn't realize that Dalton, GA, had a Medical Center that had all these specialties covered without the traffic, without the commute, without, you know, it's easy for some smaller cities. To feel like they're inferior just because they're smaller cities and that's simply not the case in Hamilton. I mean they've got all the technology that we've got, you know 30 miles to the north or 80 miles to the South. So really except for very extraordinary cases, it is a one stop shop. You know, if I can't take care of you, I've got a colleague that probably can. I like a lot of things there's there's a lot of offshoots of. Cardiology depending on what disease process is actually going on. So we've got what we call general cardiologists that. That actually do a whole lot of good, I mean these guys that and and any interventional cardiologist is a general cardiologist first. So I mean we treat a whole lot of things with medications and the medications get more and more powerful and it's really remarkable the things that we can treat now with medicines that that years ago we cannot treat. So we can very effectively treat blood pressure, we can very effectively treat high cholesterol, rapid heart rates, irregular heart rhythms and the general cardiologists can can do all that. The interventional cardiologist actually are going in and physically taking care of a problem. So there's a blockage in an artery. So we go in with the balloon or a stent or now we can actually do. You know how they bust up kidney stones? Well, we can actually bust up calcium in the arteries with the same kind of technology. We've got lasers. We've got basically drills. I mean it's, you know, it's a whole toolbox full of stuff that we can do. And then our we got colleagues that specialize in just rhythms and those are electrophysiologists and they specialize on the pacemakers and defibrillators. And then we've got another group of colleagues that are structural cardiologists and these are the guys that can literally replace a valve. Through a catheter so we don't have to open the chest. So just it's an incredibly dynamic field right now. As we continue to progress, there are more and more specialties where we're doing things. You know, we've become more and more refined in some of our techniques. So lots of stuff. I grew up here. I went to Mccallie School in Chattanooga and my dad was a faculty member up at Covenant College. I went to College in Georgia. And so this area is very familiar. And then I did the first part of the medical training in Memphis at UT Medical School, and I stayed there and did my internal medicine residency. And then I was chief resident for a year. And then it went down to Charleston, SC and that's where I did my cardiology training. I love interventional cardiology. Interventional cardiology is a subspecialty that allows me to take somebody that's extraordinarily sick and have them turned around at times, you know, in 20 minutes. I mean it it it is that dynamic afield. I can go in there with a balloon and a stent and open a vessel that's 100% closed. Have it open in a couple minutes and you know, truly abort a heart attack in its tracks. And obviously sometimes that's the difference between somebody living and somebody dying. So that's that's a very rewarding field. It's hard, hard to beat that. Patients just need to know that they're going to get first class care with this Hamilton Cardiology group.

**Tips when writing your personal statement (cardiology version but applicable to all specialties )**Before you start writing your PS, ask yourself some key questions:- Why Cardiology? - What makes you unique and a great fit for Cardiology? - What struggles have you faced and how have they shaped you? 💪- What research have you done and how has it impacted you? 🔬By addressing these, you can write a well-organized personal statement that highlights key points without unnecessary details. Alternatively, use these questions as a guide to review your personal statement and ensure you have covered aspects that readers might be looking for.What other questions do you think should be covered in a personal statement?And best of luck to all residency and fellowship applicants!!

📍 Our latest meta-analysis in the Journal of American College of Cardiology: Clinical Electrophysiology shows that among patients with AF, a rhythm control strategy is superior to rate control in terms of cardiovascular death, stroke, and heart failure hospitalizations; this benefit is driven mostly by contemporary trials. The use of catheter ablation in the rhythm control group was linearly associated with reduced cardiovascular death, all-cause death, and heart failure hospitalizations.The message is clear: Maintain the sinus rhythm for as long as possible! Your best bet is the ablation.https://lnkd.in/eA5j4h-9Ioannis Doundoulakis Alexandra Bekiaridou Ioannis Farmakis Kristie Coleman RN, BSN, CCRC George Giannakoulas Stavros Zanos Dimitris Tsiachris Ardan M Saguner Stavros Mountantonakis Stavros (HSC) Stavrakis

Part I: Systolic FunctionAuthor(s): Francisco Javier Calderón Montero*Journal: Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and CardiologyJournal ISSN: 2455-2976Introduction: The knowledge of the so-called “athlete’s heart”has been linked to the application of diagnostic techniques in cardiology. Perhaps, it is necessary to keep in mind that the “athlete’s heart” is a physiologically “healthy” heart. The figure 1 shows the parameters that determine the mean arterial pressure. Physical exercise is the only physiological circ*mstance that precedes the regional metabolic demand to the control of the average blood pressure.#CoronaryArteryDiseases #ValvularHeartDisease #Electrophysiology #CardiacElectrophysiology #Echocardiography #InterventionalCardiology #ClinicalCardiology #NuclearCardiology #AcuteCoronarySyndromes #ArrhythmiaEP #CVImaging #CVDPrevention #CardiacArrhythmias #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #OpenAccess #ScientificJournals #PeerReviewedJournals #OpenAccessPublishers #CardiacPhysiology #CardiacRegeneration #CardiacRehabilitation #Cardiomyopathies #CardiovascularDrugs #CardiovascularTherapy #CardiovascularAnatomy #CongenitalHeartDefects
