Join us for OPERASI ALDO (i.e. Operation Aldo) !!!
Are aldosterone synthase inhibitors (ASI) the answer ???

TTE shows a 'flow' but no 'hole'? Not all shunts are holes in a wall !!!
Think unroofed CS !!! #EchoFirst is your friend !!!
#3Decho : Green - unroofed segment, Red - CS

Want to publish in medical journals but unsure where to start?
Read my editorial in @BrJCardiol on publishing: why, what, where, when, how and more...
My thanks to Henry Purcell & the excellent BJC team!

Lesson: Always look at the #echofirst urself!
"Oh, patient is waaaaaay too young for #amyloidosis.."

Remember AL amyloidosis !!!
Patients are relatively younger versus ATTR,

Amazing (and daring?) initiative by @AstraZeneca putting cardiologists & nephrologists in the same room, discussing #CKM#heartfailure ! Too much frusemide? Too fast, too furious with the GDMT? Who should own the patient? Great to know that both saw eye to eye on most things !
Great advisory board meeting on the future of finerenone in #heartfailure with EF >40%. The landscape of aldosterone altering agent use, I predict, will be based on #HFpEF phenotypes (i.e., #CKM, hypertension, obesity) and we will cease to equate one with another. Exciting times!
As structural heart interventions continue to expand, recognizing shear stress-related anemia has never been more important.
The time has come for true cardio-hematology collaboration! 🫀🩸
