Excellent pragmatic trial out in Lancet showing that a traditional Chinese medicine did not improve ICH outcomes. Shows how important trials are for TCM/herbal interventions. Contrast with positive trial of tongxinluo published in JAMA last year. #MedSky #StrokeSky www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

State medical board records have some amazing stories. Take this one. PA applies for a license in NC, submits license documentation. States she had changed her name, provides documents. Sounds legit. Licensed approved. Turns out, SHE STOLE ANOTHER PA’s identity?! License summarily suspended.

New Lancet paper on disparities in life expectancy since 2000. In the “ten americas”, precipitous decline in life expectancy among “America 10” (1.3 million American Indian/Alaska Native residents in the west) stands out. Urgent need for policy interventions #MedSky www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Best thing about #AHA2024 is the chance to catch up with shared connections: “academic families.” Wonderful to see @michaeldgreen.com + Duke Undergrad Perisa Ashar. Common thread is mentor Emily O’Brien who has been instrumental to all our careers and connections with each other #CardioSky #MedSky

Moderated an amazing presentation from @vinaykini.bsky.social #AHA2024 now published in @jaccjournals.bsky.social. Outstanding work with thoughtful causal inference methods to show no improvement in care quality after vertical integration of cardiology practices. #CardioSky #MedSky

Any #aha2024 #cardiosky #neurosky interested in whether INR levels predict ischemic stroke severity for patients taking DOACs? Come over to Zone 4 (4047) and take a look at our poster.

Small, retrospective study evaluating CPAP for secondary prevention of CVD after AMI. As expected, long-term adherence to CPAP (>4 hours per night) is associated with 50% decreased risk of recurrent MACCE. I suspect impact on #htn control may drive effect. Need for larger and prospective studies.

Another incredible win for GLP-1RA/GIP Tirzepatide in SUMMIT! 38% reduction in CVD death/worsening HF and improved patient-reported outcomes. Time for policy change to get these therapies to patients with #obesity #hfpef #aha2024 #cardiosky
