@MohammedAlo high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) has a role to play — it is used in some of our decisions about statin therapy. The JUPITER trial suggested that rosuvastatin reduced cardiovascular events in patients with low cholesterol levels but with hs-CRP ≥ 2.0 mg/L

@spjuraschek Interesting area where cuff-less patch blood pressure monitoring may play a role

@EricTopol @NEJM How were discordant results with ACCORD discussed?

@ycommodore @rantocran @BIDMChealth @spjuraschek Glad that Dr @rantocran was given the venue to speak of this unappreciated risk factor for CVD. I am not at the meeting. Was there any discussion about the @AHAScience attempt to improve risk assessment with the new PREVENT calculator that includes a “social deprivation index”?

@spjuraschek @AHAScience @AHAMeetings Maybe not high enough dose of MRA ?

I’m devastated to hear about the passing of an incredible young woman, activist and hero Hydeia Broadbent. In 1992, I did a Nickelodeon special called “A Conversation with Magic”, and 7-year-old Hydeia and I made an incredible impact. Hydeia changed the world with her bravery, speaking about how living with HIV affected her life since birth. She dedicated her life to activism and became a change agent in the HIV/AIDS fight. By speaking out at such a young age, she helped so many people, young and old, because she wasn’t afraid to share her story and allowed everyone to see that those living with HIV and AIDS were everyday people and should be treated with respect. Thanks to Hydeia, millions were educated, stigmas were broken, and attitudes about HIV/AIDs were changed. We will miss her powerful voice in this world. Cookie and I are praying for the Broadbent family and everyone that knew and loved Hydeia.

Agreed. @Trevornoah is a trailblazer whose unique background allowed him to take TDS out of the shadows of @jonstewart to a unique place in our culture. It will be interesting to see how “Noah’s TDS legacy” will be recounted. Entertaining interview. https://t.co/inN6NWGw8E

[Matt Brennan @thefilmgoer]

@BPVisitDoc @npratc @AndrewLimbong @Trevornoah @jonstewart Noah’s tenure on “TDS” was exceptional but I don’t count that as “Stewart’s legacy” — he reinvented the role by focusing it on issues of race, policing and the global politics as our critic wrote. I don’t think Stewart deserves credit for that! https://t.co/0MUiQkr21h

[Stephen K Williams @BPVisitDoc]

@thefilmgoer @npratc @AndrewLimbong Disappointed not to hear @Trevornoah mentioned as part of the legacy of @jonstewart. Immediate successor that bravely guided the show in a very dynamic political environment with an audience that he knew would have difficulty with his style. Emmy winner! https://t.co/YiwsvaxaaX

@amjhypertension @KPWaResearch AKA “The law of unintended consequences.” Labeling someone w/ illness and the person then adopting a sick role. Beautifully discussed by Dr Pickering. Especially challenging issue in HTN which suffers from inaccurate measurements and arbitrary thresholds https://t.co/gyGh3rq8FF

On this MLK Day, I want you all to see this & know this as well as the “I Have A Dream” speech. Speechless at his wisdom and truth. "No other ethnic group has been a slave on American soil. And then color became a stigma." Transcribed remainder below.

Elise Finch loved music. The song of her life deserved many more verses.
Her gifts were many, and so too the lives she touched.
My deepest condolences to Graig and little Grace, her parents and sister, and all our CBS2 family.
