What is effect of coffee on arrhythmias? Out in @NEJM an impressive effort to randomize & confirm intake with receipts/geofencing. No difference in PACs, maybe more PVCs with more coffee. @CardioNerds

Every physician who sells their practice to private equity is choosing to make health care worse for everybody. I hope the money helps you sleep at night, because you have made life worse for every single patient and employee walking into your PE Daddy’s practice.

#EPeeps - Poor R wave progression is a common finding on a standard 12-lead ECG, but its physiological background and clinical significance are still not fully understood.

STOPDAPT-2 ACS published in @JAMACardio. in patients with ACS and PCI, clopidogrel monotherapy after 1 to 2 months of DAPT did not meet noninferiority for NACE (at variance with ticagrelor monotherapy in TICO). The type of P2Y12 inhibitor matters, in ACS.

#CritCareExplore@SCCM This meta-analysis shows that use of saline may be associated w/ longer time to DKA resolution, higher post-resuscitation plasma Cl levels, lower HCO3 and longer LOS compared to balanced crystalloids. @Na2ef@Bram_Rochwerg@dipayan_c https://t.co/25RSHHevsg
