@FCademartiri The definition specifically mentions a rise and fall of troponin with one value above the 99% threshold. This is often ignored.

So diversity, equity and inclusion of diverse points of view…

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

A crazy idea would be a mandate that federal funding for universities can only happen when/if the ideological balance of its professors are within +/- 20%.

Any institutions that opts out/takes zero funding from the federal government (ie from taxpayers) can still do whatever they want.

Assuming neither side is more wrong nor right, the debate and ultimate quality of students coming from schools with more ideological balance would be meaningfully better I suspect.

@jclatorre Been enjoying your recent blogs! I think you downplay the human aspect of medicine in this piece but I agree the regulatory framework is the main obstacle to making AI breakthroughs that are coming sooner than later.

@bmorecardiology @CardiacTrials I used to de-escalate to just aspirin but I have started to move to clopidogrel monotherapy after 1 year

@PulmCrit @Byron11753664 Devils in the details. If this is someone who hasn’t seen a doctor in some time and has LVH on ECG, I would consider starting meds. If he follows with a doctor regularly and has never had high blood pressure I would treat the infection and let him follow with his pcp

@DavidLBrownMD Angina relief after OMT. Same reason we look for ischemia on non-invasive testing.

@drjohnm @divaka_perera Still a role for cabg though

@drjohnm @MartyMakary @VPrasadMDMPH Rfk should leave more of the vaccine messaging/policy to @VPrasadMDMPH

@MohammedAlo While I agree with you, the guidelines says patients 40-75 should be risk stratified by ascvd risk and treated with statins accordingly. Not that everyone over ldl of 100 should be treated. Is there something I am missing?

[rickgup @rickgup]

@Drlipid What do you use as your LpA threshold to recommend aspirin?

@a_l_bailey @ACCinTouch Thank you for sharing, and for your reply. I hope to be in attendance at ACC next year.

@dr_benoy_n_shah @kaulcsmc By 4th universal definition she had an MI-rise and fall of troponins with ischemic symptoms. Nomenclature aside I do not know what that means practically, I do not think aspirin or statins would be indicated. Maybe Acetyl choline provocation though I would probably just monitor.

@bwaydiva1 @mehdirhasan Why downplay an American company that is the leader in EVs? I don’t think that is kissing up.

[rickgup @rickgup]

@mehdirhasan That’s what makes it worse, why offend him when you’re already giving him huge contracts. It was an unforced error. Not to mention the contracts are not a gift, between starlink and space x he has the best product.

[rickgup @rickgup]

@mehdirhasan This was a major snub.

@anish_koka I don’t think comparing Sweden to the US population is apples to apples

@argulian How do you differentiate using just the envelope?

@Hragy Sleep apnea
Hyperaldo
Renal artery bruit

I would stop there.
