@yourheartdoc1 One of my patients couldn’t get a medication bc he was told the PA wasn’t approved (except it was in July) so he gave up. I wasn’t aware until he came back for his followup. It was finally resolved after I personally spent 4 hours on the phone (7 calls). Just maddening,

@DrJenGunter @DrMarthaGulati @DBelardoMD Considering Heart disease is the #1 killer in women I hope we could encourage them to at least know their numbers (blood pressure, cholesterol, etc) so we can manage those risk factors.

Wonderful Women in Cardiology meeting w/ lecture by Dr Aysha Arshad about Sex Differences in Arrhythmias! Did you know estrogen inhibition of the hERG channel results in longer QT? Also progesterone is proarrhythmic leading to ⬆️arrhythmias in menopause. #ACCWICDC #Cardiology

[Vass Vassiliou @vass_vassiliou]

An excellent article that gives everything you’d want to know about Lp(a) from @ASPCardio @AJPCardio

How common is it? Risk factor or risk modifier? Shall i get tested? When to treat? What tx?

For me everyone should get it checked and tailor management

@NicksPaige @chungk1031 @ResearchMetis @ACCinTouch @JACCJournals @AlaricFranzos Way to go!

[Dr. Rebecca Seifried @CardioFIT6]

@DrPlantel Unnecessary testing begets more unnecessary and more invasive testing, where risk >benefit. I have had patients wanting to spend $1000s on testing that has not changed management and just gave them more anxiety (eg serial CAC scores in someone with high Ca+ scores).

Great new review on cardiovascular risk in diabetes

People with insulin resistance & type 2 diabetes usually have high ApoB, together with many other changes

Sometimes people ask "what's worse, diabetes or high ApoB?"

Good to remember the overlap :)

@drscottyk @DrPlantel Oh! Great to hear. My comment is more for non-cardiologists then.

[Dr. Rebecca Seifried @CardioFIT6]

@drscottyk @DrPlantel Also, with the 2021 ACC Chest pain guidelines avoid “atypical”. It’s cardiac, possibly cardiac and noncardiac b/c women, elderly & diabetic pts may not have “classic” symptoms of ACS and atypical is often assumed to be noncardiac. I see a lot of DOE and ⬇️ exertional tolerance.
