Congratulations #AmenSergewMD @NJHealth for your generosity and hard work to improve the lives of others!

@Sam_Brusca @NitinSeam @WApplefeld It’s so good to see @JACCJournals adopting an audio summary format. Very useful article.

CICU management of AKI! Get your renal fix and a basic CVVH review. Thanks to the NIH CCMD program for giving me the tools to manage renal failure in the ICU! onlinejacc.org/content/76/9/1… @NitinSeam @WApplefeld

In a trial involving 84 participants with chronic edema of the leg and recurrent cellulitis, the incidences of cellulitis and hospitalization among participants who received compression therapy were lower than among those who received only education about preventing cellulitis.

Why does #wildfire #smoke cause so many breathing problems? Find out from David Beuther, MD, @NJHealth  pulmonologist in this interview with @CBSDenver.  fal.cn/39HKu

Impaired gut–brain communication in pulmonary arterial hypertension @DrSharma_RK bit.ly/2LpvWvY

A low DLCO should be valued as a predictor of all-cause hospital admissions in patients with reduced LVEF or isolated diastolic dysfunction. The severity of the impairment seen on DLCO testing also appears to affect the risk of hospitalisation. bit.ly/3e4r8bH

Sunday (8/9, 8:30am ET)! Join @ATS_PC at the virtual #ATS2020 for the Scientific Session - Beyond DNA: The Unseen Genome and Novel Omics Approaches to Pulmonary Hypertension An excellent list of talks! Pre-recorded, on-demand sessions are available until Nov. 10.

We also identified subgroups who have high PA load and a good RV, high PA load but a bad RV (and so may not have elevated PA pressure reflective of the load), and a bad RV yet a low PA load.
