We show that thyroid dysfunction even when triggered by amiodarone is by no means benign but associated with incresed risk of HF hosp and death

As such it should be seen as a clear warning sign which should trigger careful considerations of tx options https://t.co/jYGz5naOjw

Happy to share that our paper on impact of amiodarone-related thyroid dysfunction in HF is out open access in @JInternMed

New article! #Amiodarone-related #thyroid dysfunction and associated outcomes in patients with heart failure.

➡️ Underscore the importance of recognizing this complication, careful consideration of treatment options.

@DrToddLee @LucusHumphrey Impressive 🍾💪

@bogdienache Comic sans?!

[Søren Lund Kristensen @SLKristensen]

@BrettSperryMD @dranulala actually very similar to what we found in HFrEF patients in a Danish registry-based study - but would expect it higher in a trial vs. clinical care https://t.co/81CVokClsD @_JohanLarsson

[Søren Lund Kristensen @SLKristensen]

@BrettSperryMD @dranulala Indeed - very difficult to succeed with those conditions - thanks for sharing again :)

[Søren Lund Kristensen @SLKristensen]

@BrettSperryMD @dranulala Are you sure about the 75% tx disc?! And thanks for sharing the slides

[Søren Lund Kristensen @SLKristensen]

@dr_benoy_n_shah Very nice and informative paper - thanks for sharing👍

[Søren Lund Kristensen @SLKristensen]

@VerwerftJan I don´t think it is very useful to have 'complementary' risk scores - we need a somewhat simple one that works! Other than that - very nice study, well done :)

@bogdienache 🙈

@matthewmylee Very nice work - super interesting 👍

[Søren Lund Kristensen @SLKristensen]

@ebtapper Both are fine but I would go with Fiskebaren

[John Mandrola, MD @drjohnm]

Many choices for trials to highlight the past week, but I love this one. Again from (where else) Copenhagen

If I had a dollar for every time a sent a pt with heart failure for thoracentesis for pleural effusion

Boom. No benefit in an RCT

[JACC Journals @JACCJournals]

Danish study explores #HeartFailure care disparities:
🔸 55,918 pts, mostly native Danish
🔸 Non-Western immigrant patients: younger, more diabetes & #ischemicheartdisease, less #AFib
🔸 Similar #GDMT uptitration at 12 months

[Søren Lund Kristensen @SLKristensen]

@drjohnm Thanks for commenting! Curiously, we mostly focused on the differences in characteristics when patients were diagnosed w HF but agree that it’s very positive we see similar uptake of GDMT and outcomes after, really showcasing one of the strengths of the 🇩🇰Healthcare system

Really happy to share that our research paper looking at immigrants vs. native Danish patients treated for HFrEF within the public Danish Health Care system is published in JACC HF - https://t.co/dtE11qNepC

[Søren Lund Kristensen @SLKristensen]

Our study underlines that many of the geographic differences observed in HFrEF persists, even if patients are taken care of within the same health care system
