๐จ The 2026 @escardio#HeartFailure Guidelines are hereโ๏ธ#ESCcongress@secardiologia
1) HFmrEF is gone.
Acute HF is gone.
NT-proBNP cut-offs are now age-adjusted.
Everything that matters ๐งต๐
2/ ๐ NEW DEFINITION โ two phenotypes only
โค๏ธโ๐ฉน HFrEF โ LVEF <50% + symptoms/signs
๐ซ HFpEF โ LVEF โฅ50% + symptoms/signs + objective evidence of structural/functional abnormality
โ HFmrEF eliminated: same aetiology, same pathophysiology, same treatment response as HFrEF
Today's Paper of the Day is:

Key takeaways ๐๐ผ
1. Can you identify the ECG signs marked in blue and green?
2. Which arrhythmia is associated with these findings?

Fluid Management in Cardiogenic Shock
This chapter discusses cardiogenic shock, a common condition encountered in the ICU. Cardiogenic shock results from decreased cardiac output and manifests as end-organ ischemia. The key diagnostic criteria for cardiogenic shock are identified, and the different clinical presentations of left and right heart failure are described. Fluid management in patients with an impaired cardiac function is complex, and clinicians traditionally titrate fluid therapy based on central venous pressure and clinical examination. However, there may be an overemphasis on fluid restriction in patients with heart failure, and physicians need to identify the subgroup of patients with cardiogenic shock who might actually benefit from fluid replacement. Fluid boluses need to be titrated to specific end points of end-organ perfusion guided by dynamic measures of fluid responsiveness and repeated echocardiographic assessments. While the pulmonary artery (PA) catheter continues to be the gold standard in assessing hemodynamics and fluid requirements in these patients, less invasive or noninvasive modes have shown potential in providing equivalent information without the risks associated with the PA catheter. Understanding the etiology and type of heart failure is crucial in providing additional information and the likelihood of a favorable response to fluid resuscitation. Take-home messages include the importance of identifying different subtypes of cardiogenic shock and etiology, the definitive role of ultrasound and other invasive or noninvasive hemodynamic monitors to guide fluid management, and the need for carefully titrated fluid boluses to specific end points in patients with impaired cardiac function.

Nueva revisiรณn de hiperkalemia aguda (BMJ 2026). Lo que cambiรณ, y que probablemente sigas haciendo:
๐ด Dextrosa al 10%, no al 50%. La glucosada hipertรณnica puede EMPEORAR la hiperkalemia.
๐ด Insulina 5 U (o 0.1 U/kg, mรกximo 10 U). Misma caรญda de potasio que con 10 U, con casi la mitad de hipoglucemias (OR 0.55).
๐ด 1 g de gluconato de calcio no sirve. 97% necesitรณ tres dosis de 1 g y una sola dosis no funcionรณ en NINGUNO. Dosis: 1-3 g.
๐ด El calcio no "estabiliza la membrana". Restaura la conducciรณn por canales de calcio. Traducciรณn prรกctica: sirve cuando hay QRS ancho, no en la onda T picuda aislada.
๐ด Bicarbonato: no se recomienda de rutina.
๐ด La onda T picuda aparece en menos del 25% de los pacientes con K de 5.5-7.0. Un ECG normal NO descarta hiperkalemia.
๐ด Reevalรบa el potasio a los 60 min y otra vez a las 2-4 horas. El rebote es frecuente

@Tracfone My US iPhone now shows โNetwork Provider Lockโ after removing the original eSIM and restarting/resetting. Iโm in India and donโt have the original account. Can you please check if my IMEI is eligible for unlock? Thanks!
@VerizonSupport Need help! My Verizon iPhone worked initially, but after removing the Verizon eSIM and restarting/resetting, it now shows โNetwork Provider Lock.โ Iโm in India and donโt have the original Verizon account. Can you help check if itโs eligible for unlock? Thanks!
