Compared to conventional chemo, ibrutinib has significant increase in blood pressure, 36% having more than 10mmHg increase in SBP at 1 month, sustained to mid term (2-6 months). Despite this appropriate HTN drug initiation or modification not done in 61%.

Hot off the press ❤️‍🔥
Association between ibrutinib treatment and hypertension
- ibrutinib: Bruton TKI used for multiple malignancies.
- few cardiotoxicities: atrial fibrillation and hypertension
- we studied ibrutinib vs conventional chemotherapies.

Understanding the assoc. of ibrutinib/ hypertension is important, for both cardiologist/ oncologists (&PCP), with appropriate tx. needed.

One of my favorite things as a program director is calling our new interns on match day

I continue the tradition, 4 recruitment seasons now, of collecting their match day pictures and videos

❤️🥰❤️
Best day ever!

Patients with CKD (with or without diabetes) who received dapagliflozin have lower risk of a composite of a sustained decline in the estimated GFR of at least 50%, end-stage kidney disease, or death from renal or CV causes than those who received placebo. #EASD2020

Reminder that taking the time to gently reorient patients who are confused and encephalopathic can be the most important part of a patient’s care plan, especially when the life saving interventions they need are uncomfortable or invasive.

Compared to ACE-I, sacubitril-valsartan improves #heartfailure outcomes in acute decompensated HF, suggests new #JACC research: https://t.co/bag1k0ZghR

Left atrial scar takes you far in atrial fibrillation by #WhyCMR. In this Danish 🇩🇰 study, left atrial fibrosis was associated with incident #AFib detected by implantable loop recorder during a median of 41 months. https://t.co/RGa6WrZEAA #JACCIMG
