On rounds at Grady

Me: "How're you feeling today?"
Him: "Well. I been better. That medicine y'all gave me made me run off!"

My team looked puzzled.
I did not.

Me: "Oh no! You talking 'bout the medicine we gave you for your gout flare up?"
Him: "Yeah! That one!"

7/ So to summarize:

🔸 Iron deficiency is common in HF pts
🔸 PO iron is not effective
🔸 IV iron improves QOL and functional capacity in HFrEF
🔸 Meta-analyses suggest benefit of IV iron in reducing mortality in HFrEF
🔸 There is a 2A recommendation by ACC for IV iron in HFrEF

The #CardioSmart infographic – “What are SGLT2 inhibitors?” – helps patients understand the benefits of this class of drugs, possible side effects and questions to discuss with their health care team. Share with your patients: https://t.co/OKxLtBkih5 #NYCVS23

In summary:

1️⃣ Acute Myocardial Injury = 20% change of elevated troponins
2️⃣ Infarct = Acute Injury + Ischemic signs *OR* symptoms
3️⃣ Troponemia, troponin leak, troponitis, & Elevated troponin are not diagnoses.
4️⃣ Demand ischemia = ischemia without injury

Imagine a loved one being treated incorrectly for their MI.

Thanks for voting. 999 votes, most think IC not welcoming to women. Surveys of women cardiology fellows confirm this. We can and must do better. #TakeAWomanToTheCathLab early in her career; PDs work for policies that are inclusive; cath lab bros: welcome her as a valued partner

My vote is hyponatremia.

1/ Covid (@UCSF) Chronicles, Day 36
After stats, a grab bag today – stuff that I’m reading, hearing & otherwise thinking about.

@UCSFhospitals stable, w/ 17 cases, 4 intubated. Last 1200 tests (PCR) @ucsf: 1% positive. Still only 1 death since start, 41 recovered & discharged.

I'm not crying you are.

A taxi driver in Spain who has taken patients to the hospital, free of charge, got a call to pickup a patient from the hospital.

When he arrived, doctors and nurses surprised him with a standing ovation, plus an envelope of money.

1/ Covid (@UCSF) Chronicles, Day 21

@UCSFhospitals, 18 Covid+ pts, same. 7 in ICU, 3 on vents. Note: 30 pts @ Zuckerberg SF General Hospital, our safety net, a disproportionate # that likely illustrates emerging Covid disparities, described @voxdotcom https://t.co/SCWWadlDu3

My piece in today’s @sciam.

“If racialized health inequities amidst this pandemic are explicitly addressed, Black Americans will have a fairer and greater opportunity to be healthier. And that will improve the health of all Americans.”
