Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, including spironolactone, eplerenone, and finerenone, are highly effective in patients with heart failure but remain underused. “Efficacy far outweights the risks“ explains expert Rudolf de Boer, with advice on how to use which MRA in HFrEF and HFpEF in the newest episode of #ESCTVToday! 👉 https://t.co/h2uyQ3HJrY

Did you know that #HeartFailure is the leading cause of preventable hospitalisations in Europe?
Yet the condition continues to lack political recognition. We want to change this.
#HeartFailureMission
"BEAT HF is the first UK-wide disease awareness campaign for heart failure and is targeted at the public and primary care healthcare professionals.
Professor Clare Taylor, Nick Hartshorne-Evans, and Dr Dargoi Satchi developed BEAT to improve awareness of heart failure through early recognition of common symptoms.
The acronym BEAT leads to testing using a commonly available blood test, NT-proBNP, to rule out heart failure.
BEAT stands for:
Breathlessness
Exhaustion
Ankle swelling
Time for a simple blood test or Time to speak to your GP Surgery, depending on the setting."

The government says in times of austerity that we're #AllinItTogether
Except we aren't.
starting salary of an MP v a junior doctor over time:
2008: MPs – £61,820, first year junior doctors – £28,274
2023: MPs – £86,584, first year junior doctors – £32,398
MPs will get a 7.1% payrise in April meaning that their salary will go up from £86,584 to £92,731. They also get subsidised food, housing allowance, salary support for spouses etc etc
When people talk about not being able to afford restitution of the salary drop that public sector workers have endured over the past 15 yrs- it never seems to apply to MPs.
Junior doctors are not striking for a pay rise- just restitution of the 30% pay cut that they have had to endure in real terms.
