@gdelriopertuz @CardioNerdsJC @CardioNerds And interesting that only 22% ACE/ARB use. I would think that percent would be higher. #CardsJC

[Dipika Gopal, MD @dipikagopal]

@DrEugeneYang They also did not monitor the amount of salt or salt substitute that was used, so theoretically the group who received the salt substitute could have just added more to the food and ended up with the same mg of salt in their food? Especially to make up for the taste. #CardsJC

[Dipika Gopal, MD @dipikagopal]

@CardioNerdsJC agree with @DrEugeneYang . However I think this limits the external validity of the findings. Majority of our hypertensive and elderly population has renal dysfunction and we do need to take this into account. #CardsJC

@VivekKulkarniMD @dan_soffer @jaygirimd Though I still think for most people the message of eating a low fat diet in moderation and staying active holds true. This study I think gets to more of the nuances that may only affect a few discussions in clinic overall.

@VivekKulkarniMD @dan_soffer @jaygirimd Really interesting article @VivekKulkarniMD definitely makes me wonder about how we counsel patients re SFA. @dan_soffer what do you think??

I truly believe this is the future of heart failure management. Going to start pushing our cards department to let me start teaching LUS.

If @realDonaldTrump was to have mitral regurgitation:

I have the most tremendous & torrential regurgitation. I’m told they typically grade it 1-4+. This is like infinity+. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it. The most ever recorded in history, really. #echofirst #cardiotwitter

THREAD: I have been wearing mask everywhere in the hospital. People think I overreact and laugh at me. But the truth is, we don’t know who are the asymptomatic carriers. And I don’t want to be the one harming my patients or colleagues or community. #covid #medtwitter #ppe
