@_bnovc @mcuban @UCSF 100% agree - one of the best low cost tests in cardiology. One warning is getting it too early can give you false reassurance if 0. Best to repeat at 45!

@EricTopol PCSK9 inhibitors clearly superior, hard to get covered without trying statin first. The blood sugar issue when brought up also makes patients even more statin hesitant for sure.

[Anshul Badhwar, MD @HeartblockedAB]

@EricTopol @EvidenceOpen @UpToDate It makes a lot of sense as the LLM is far more important than having access to medical journals

[Anshul Badhwar, MD @HeartblockedAB]

@BudoffMd @khurramn1 @RonBlankstein @rblument1 Yet still not covered by insurance...

[Anshul Badhwar, MD @HeartblockedAB]

@JorgeCastilloPr This is great

@brandonkumar I mean we do use it, although I find claude opus or grok to be superior if properly used. The LLM seems weak in terms of queries to me

@growing_daniel Grab a chemex or hario. Filtered is best for cardiovascular health!

[Anshul Badhwar, MD @HeartblockedAB]

@johnsummit Honestly my favorite set by you! Loved the journey!! Edits were so on point.

Depends on the cause, usually there is something underlying driving the low K. Kidney's only get "strained" if the K is too high.

For example if she has a renal tubular acidosis (frequently missed) it would drive her K down.

Alternatively you can optimize BP med with certain regimens that increase K

@paulg @michaelpollan From a recent AHA article which is a good estimate.

@nateliason Ragebait accomplished

[Anshul Badhwar, MD @HeartblockedAB]

@TicTocTick Definitely not. So many better metrics...

ApoB
Calcium score
Even LDL-Particle number.

It's probably only useful ad a surrogate for insulin resistance

@byersblake It's also been nice seeing his effort to promote local businesses on his Instagram.

@satyanadella Excellent work, excited to try the models. Would love to see how it will fare with asking real patients questions. One of the hardest parts of medicine is knowing how to appropriately apply weights to each symptom within the context of the individual patient.

@levelsio Interestingly you can note from Orrje https://t.co/ldgNjFNQt7 in 2025 that boiled coffee (turkish) had the highest levels of diterpenes.

[Anshul Badhwar, MD @HeartblockedAB]

@levelsio Yep, french press is known to increase mortality.

It's unfortunate because espresso is so tasty!

Chemex style is also another great option.

@unusual_whales sounds like fake news.
