#GDMT reduces mortality and hospitalizations but is consistently underutilized, especially in patients with concomitant @KidneyInCVD. Back in 2022, @jiiiiawei @StanfordNeph and I created an educational tool to assist in decision-making for GDMT in #HFrEF.

CHamoru women preparing higai or thatch in 1945. The leaves would be used in a balangai or gupot higai, a large scale gathering where families and neighbors would work together to repair the roofs for their homes.

I worry this is problematic & promotes #indigenousErasure

When Pacific Islander data is “present”, but can’t be evaluated, we know this perpetuates the masking of Native Hawaiian & other Pacific Islander health data.

1997 OMB standards included NHPI
Much work to be done

Thank you @kuamnews for featuring our story. Folks back home have electricity and water again, but there are still many others displaced from Typhoon Mawar. For many, the impact of the typhoon will reverberate for many years to come.
