Breaking at #ESCCongress2025: DIGIT-HF shows digitoxin, added to standard care in advanced HFrEF, cuts the combined risk of death or HF hospitalization (HR 0.82; p=0.03). May be a viable add-on—especially for patients with AF, low BP, high HR, or renal issues. www.escardio.org/The-ESC/Pres...

Are Labour fixing the #NHScrisis OR just fixing the figures?
Turns out most of the “record drop” in waiting lists came from deleting patients who died, moved abroad, or no longer needed care… not from actually treating them.

If you want to know the secret to meeting and maybe befriending celebrities, here is mine: Want nothing from them and offer them kindness. Celebs are constantly confronted by people who want something from them. Be someone who isn't that. In my experience, that's a relief and a happiness for them.
