50 Studies Every Hospitalist Should Know is really the work of its contributors.

We asked hospitalists, cardiologists, ID specialists, intensivists, and more to do something specific: not just summarize a trial, but lay out the details clinicians wish they had at hand - who was studied, what the effect sizes actually were, what the study couldn't answer, and what it means for the patient in front of you.

They delivered. This book is their expertise.

2019-2023 saw the highest year-over-year rent growth in recent history. Research says that overall, the median renter by income saw zero growth in their real residual income. The bottom third of US renters were hit much harder. See: https://t.co/FmyBJR31qa

Relatively few AHFTC fellowship programs matched most applicants. Applicants prioritize markers of hospital reputation and heart transplant volumes over regional disease burden or geographical considerations. https://t.co/xPQiJXgere

More #AI innovations @ClevelandClinic, as @tremartyn discusses research he presented at #ACC25 on the use of artificial intelligence in screening for transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis clinical trials.

Training internists to provide specialized heart failure (HF) care is feasible. Training HF internists may be a novel solution to augment the HF workforce in the US. https://t.co/0USCfReKTe

@a_l_bailey @ACCinTouch Debunking myths in HF: salt restriction debunked and now fluid restriction debunked.

[Alison L. Bailey, MD @a_l_bailey]

@tjoneillmd @ACCinTouch Agree totally. But fluid restriction should be an exception and not the rule as it currently is in many places.

📢Heart failure internists (graduates of non-accredited HF fellowships) are IM physicians who undergo 1-year training focused on HF.

We completed a first ever registry and survey. We identified 11 programs and >110 graduates.

We're presenting these findings at #ACC25 tomorrow!!

[Avraham Z. Cooper, MD 🩺 @AvrahamCooperMD]

📣VERY exciting announcement… 📣

@tony_breu and I are writing a book, to be published by @wwnorton!

Working title is: WHY DOESN’T YOUR STOMACH DIGEST ITSELF?

It’s all about the wondrous ways that the human body is resilient, and we can’t wait to share it with you 😊

Also: this would not have been possible without the extraordinary guidance and support from our agent @kvanogtrop 🙏🏻

More bad news for Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology #NRMP match: Of 75 programs participating in match n=21 (28%) filled. Of 127 positions offered, n=61 (48%) filled. There will only be n=61 AHFTC trainees in the US in 2025-2026 academic year. #ShrinkingWorkforce

Hi @AnthemBCBS - received a denial by your affiliate Carelon for lynch testing for a patient whose father has lynch. Per @CDCgov testing should be performed when there is a 1’ relative with lynch. This denial is unacceptable. I sent an email to request re-evaluation.
