Just published my latest review on #heartfailure What Strain Analysis Adds to Diagnosis and Prognosis in Heart Failure Patients. Discover the power of #globallongitudinalstrain in improving diagnosis and prognosis for #heartfailure patients. A must read for all #cardiologists
Potential Role of Natriuretic Response to Furosemide Stress Test(FST) During AHF
FST-guided diuretic treatment might help to improve decongestion, shorten hospitalizations, and to reduce adverse outcomes. https://t.co/XkI0Pj6CQu @HFSA@BiykemB@FH_Verbrugge@RyanTedfordMD
@CardioNerdsJC It depends on onset (<24h?, Persistent? Paroxymal?), Age(!!!), Comorbidities, Symptoms, etc. There is one trial favouring Rhythm control (East-afnet) while plenty did not see any difference in treatment (Race, Affirm, Cabana).

@DrMarthaGulati @RichardWhitloc2 @McMasterU A very interesting study (considering one could achieve LAA closure adding only 6 minutes to bypass time), especially if we consider that almost 2/3 of patients in both groups remained on anticoagulation
Dyspnea, history of mitral valvuloplasty. I would point out a mild atrial dilatation... I wonder if there is the heart inside this atrium. In any case, this smoke is concerning
