Heartfelt thanks to my @theheartorg / @Medscape colleagues for the retirement sendoff Friday 13th. Hardly a bad luck day, I got to appreciate my good fortune to work w/them 19 yr and many other capable, devout journalists & editors these 40 yr of (mostly) cardio reporting-Cheers!

My comments on new efforts in cardiology certification. "The key is that any approach needs to ask the question, is the cost & effort producing benefit for patients & society? If it is not, we have not found the right system." @CMichaelGibson @ACCinTouch https://t.co/51cKhSXm8f

Among adults with #Diabetes & no history of #HeartFailure, NSAID use increases the risk of heart failure hospitalization, according to a new study in #JACC. Read more about the latest findings in @Medscape: https://t.co/leOPSnFjKe @SteveStiles2

Pacemaker therapy that boosts impaired heart rate response to exertion failed to improve exercise capacity or quality of life in patients with HFpEF in a small randomized trial. https://t.co/aICjG1bjOu

Thanks @amandagkennedy1 😊 it was a great experience getting to be co-PI on this proof-of-concept study about liberalizing HR in HFpEF with @MarkusMeyerMD & work with a great team @KramerWahlberg @NicoleHabelMD @DNSilvermanMD @SeanPMeagher @iamandkrish @lusty63 & others

In a small randomized trial, pacemaker therapy failed to improve exercise capacity or quality of life in #HFpEF patients. These findings were presented at #ACC23/#WCCardio. Find out more in @Medscape with @SteveStiles2: https://t.co/dFpWurQNkY

Mini-invasive MV repair as safe, effective as sternotomy surgery but has advantages: UK mini-mitral trial #ACC23 #WCCardio https://t.co/QKo8hc453o

Case volumes, staffing needs, and costs for congenital heart disease will climb as many states abolish or restrict abortion rights. How should hospitals and policymakers prepare. #CardioTwitter https://t.co/ClPpk8lZ4S

Thx @SteveStiles2 for this piece on our @JAMACardio paper on subclinical bradyarrhythmias

👉New tech comes w great potential for health, but as testing increases not all things we previously defined as *disease* will qualify for just that

What happened to surgical MV repair in the MitraClip era? https://t.co/ybP2zmBJPN

[ACC Media Center @ACCmediacenter]

In the age of #TEER, the case volume for surgical MV repair of degenerative #vhdMR hasn’t experienced much change. However, there’s been a shift at centers that offer both options, according to a study in #JACC. Read more in @Medscape: https://t.co/9n0o6NeERA @SteveStiles2

Further evidence that the gut microbiome affects the development of CVD, HF in particular, has emerged in a new report. https://t.co/8MFaigBkyB

The potential adverse effects of caffeine in people with severe hypertension may outweigh the putative overall cardioprotective benefits of coffee intake. https://t.co/0tWDmk5O4G

Electronic 'nudges' that promote new statin prescriptions seemed most effective when sent to patients as well as their primary care doctors in a randomized trial.

It's been said that one can observe a lot just by watching. Turning such observation inward might lead to BP reductions that approach what's possible from an antihypertensive agent, new evidence suggests. #AHA22 #CardioTwitter https://t.co/HI6iNVFL5z

Fully optimized medical therapy in #HFrEF may indirectly, lessen the severity of associated MR that might render invasive mitral valve repair unnecessary for some patients. #HFSA2022 #CardioTwitter https://t.co/daq0x2jbil

Randomized comparisons of PCI and CABG for left-main coronary disease, naturally enrolled patients suitable for either procedure. But that takes a toll on their relevance to clinical practice, where patients are not so narrowly defined. #TCT2022 https://t.co/i5RvyF6w4f
