Heart disease in women m.yale.edu/cjms via @yalemed A must read. This article captures the many layers of why so many women go underdiagnosed and undertreated for heart disease. Thank you Rachel Tompa samitshahmd Yuan Lu & Lisa Freed Yale Cardiology

Astonishing results from the DanGer Shock Trial presented at #ACC24 and out in NEJM today.

In patients with ST-elevation MI with cardiogenic shock, Impella reduced all-cause mortality (45.8% Impella vs. 58.5% control) at 180 days.

Some thoughts on this ground breaking trial:

It's time to rethink our approach to anabolic steroids & treat it with the same seriousness as other drug addictions.

It’s so common, it can no longer be ignored.

In American College of Cardiology, we outline typical steroid regimens & a strategy to guide users to safety.

82% of the EU’s farm subsidies go to animal-based foods that make up 84% of EU’s food-related GHGs yet supply just 35% of their calories.

This makes animal-rich foods artificially cheap & externalized impacts to taxpayers.

When it comes to the prevention of cardiovascular disease I aways say, start early. People often ask, how early?

I say…From womb to tomb and from lust to dust.

#TipsForNewDocs

You’re never too important to look it up. I’m a cardiologist and I still look up the treatment of pericarditis. I don't treat it a lot and want to ensure I have the duration/taper of NSAIDs right. UpToDate = your friend for life.

Plant protein

Thanks Allison Aubrey for including me in this story. All needed protein and nutrients needed can come from a plant-based diet w/ a little planning. Lentils, chickpeas, other beans, whole-grains & nuts & seed can provide plenty of protein
