Online First! @GiacomoBuso and colleagues share humbling data suggesting high rates of symptomatic vascular events in patients with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome despite celiprolol therapy.

Avoid this MISTAKE in BLOOD PRESSURE measurement*,**

*Ok. I hate clickbait too. Measure BP in BOTH arms. But still, watch the short clip, LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE.
**Yup. That's my BP, HR and hair...

It’s not just “go home & walk”
Home based walking exercise does work if done right. Coaching & connecting with patients is also crucial.
It was incredible to have Dr McDermott & @CardioNeela , the lead authors of the article, join the discussion!

I often don't know what to do with high-sensitivity troponin. Congratulations @bbikdeli et al. for helping confirm our suspicion that we should take it with a grain of salt...

20 years ago, cancer patients with VTE had similar rates of 30-day recurrence or major bleeding during anticoagulation
Nowadays, major bleeds are 2-fold more common than VTE recurrences
Safety is the issue
EKOS vs Flowtriever thrombectomy is not always a straightforward decision. Risk of bleeding 🩸 is REAL for both groups although no difference in 30-day readmission, in-hospital death, or ischemic strokes.

Among 244 VTE patients with severe renal failure receiving enoxaparin for 6 months, VTE recurrences were less common than major bleeding: 4.1 vs. 13%
But during the first 10 days, fatal PE was 5-fold more common than fatal bleeding: 2.1 vs. 0.4%

Peripheral artery disease (PAD), common and serious, doesn't receive enough attention. Many people suffer leg symptoms with walking, but never receive appropriate care.
I made this video to help #patients understand what to do:
