Proud to share our @JACCJournals paper on benefits of RV-only >> BiV pacing in #LVAD pts. Bottom line: if your LVAD pts have CRT-D, turn off LV pacing! @NirUrielMD @JonGrinsteinMD @AnnNguyenMD @Nikhil15 @LuiseHolzhauser @gtsayer @BurkhoffMd @robertomlang

The @US_FDA should require a postmarketing trial of high-dose icosapent ethyl (#Vascepa) vs corn oil in patients at risk for CV events to resolve the conflicting findings of the #STRENGTHTrial & #REDUCEIT trials on the potential health benefits of omega-3s https://t.co/hguRSwe8hb

Interesting commentary and interview on how COVID patients differ from patients with typical ARDS

[John Mandrola, MD @drjohnm]

In my 7 days on one of our (now 12!) non ICU #COVID19 units, I admitted 58 patients for COVID rule out, of whom 50 tested positive. Two died (DNR), 2 went to hospice, and 5 went to the ICU. That is… not my typical gen med service week. Following, some clinical observations.
