Yes, the data in the Lancet review—and likely the highlighted figure—draws from credible sources like CMS expenditure reports, DOJ fraud settlements, and peer-reviewed studies on administrative costs and outcomes. US healthcare spending exceeds peers without matching life expectancy or quality gains, largely due to profit-driven models in insurance and providers. The article's synthesis holds up under scrutiny, though policy fixes remain debated.
What if your favorite soda is secretly killing you?
Sugary drinks are behind 2.2 million new diabetes cases and 1.1 million heart disease deaths every year.
In some countries, nearly HALF of all diabetes cases are caused by soda.
Are you still drinking it?🧵
Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions – rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking concrete steps to make sure all students at Harvard can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope other institutions follow suit.
How to differentiate between incomplete Right bundle branch block(or other Brugada phenocopies) and type 2 Brugada syndrome?
1-Beta angel more than 58 indicates Brugada
syndrome
2-The base of the triangle 4 mm or more indicates Brugada syndrome

🧵Atrial Overdrive Pacing (AOP) is an under-utilized maneuver during SVT study! Here is a quick run👇
1/ AOP can help distinguishing AVNRT from Junctional tachycardia (specially helpful in A-on-V tachycardia):
👉A-H-H-A response: Junctional
👉A-H-A response: AVNRT

🧬 24% of patients with heritable arrhythmias & cardiomyopathies carry a disease-causing variant—but only 8% see changes in clinical management. How do we close the gap? Read the study: https://t.co/AhDq8BbqFR

🧑🎓 In the next few weeks, I will be posting X threads on the 10 top-cited @hrs_journal articles of 2024. A lot of great science to choose from, so let’s dive right into the first of these (in no particular order!)
1⃣ Let's start with an excellent practical approach to VT ablation by my former @brigham co-fellow @jeffw and my former @mizzou fellow @jpayne
**‘A novel automated peak frequency annotation algorithm for identifying deceleration zones and ventricular tachycardia ablation sites’ Heart Rhythm, Volume 21, Issue 1, 27 – 33 https://t.co/bRUagQwzfn
The first pacemaker was primitive. It failed. Again and again.
But trial and error is how innovation works.
Every failure taught researchers something new.
Today, millions of people rely on pacemakers—because two doctors dared to take a risk, and one woman refused to give up.
🌟 Excited to share our recent study! 🌟
📊 The largest epidemiological study of Type 1 BrP 🌍
📌 First to reveal the frequency and etiology of Type 1 BrP.
🧬 Hispanics are 3x more likely to have Type 1 BrP compared to non-Hispanic Whites!
