Lincare is paid to rent oxygen equipment to patients, with HHS covering most of the monthly bills. But those rental fees often add up to many times what it would cost simply to buy the equipment.

Is there a future role for primary prevention of HF that differs from what we're already doing to prevent ASCVD? Do different risk scores help us identify it?
Today in @annalsofim.bsky.social we looked at the new PREVENT HF risk score. We found that 15 million Americans have HF risk >10%, >4 million of whom have ASCVD risk <10%. www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/...

AHA's lipid guidelines do not recommend Lp(a) testing. An AHA Scientific Statement says not yet, but we should rethink it after technical lab issues are worked out. But AHA also releases glossy brochures clearly encouraging use. 🤷

Anyone have a good reason why grants rules would put tight restrictions on how many papers you're allowed to cite? Cutting citations doesn't feel like the best possible use of anyone's time.
