In AHF, congestion is common yet treatment remains under-studied. Start i.v. loop diuretics, titrate to early response (urine Na/output). If inadequate: ↑ loop dose + add thiazide/acetazolamide. Initiate SGLT2i & spironolactone early (link.springer.com/article/10.100…). #HREV @CKapelios

Happening TODAY AT 18H00 CEST Join us for the first #HFAJournalClub to discuss the PUSH AHF trial with @jozinetm @CKapelios @h_arfsten It's not 5PM but indeed 6PM CEST! You can still register: esc365.escardio.org/event/1635

Loop #diuretics are rarely decreased among #heartfailure patients. Read about predictors for uneventful diuretic decrease in our article online in #EJHF doi.org/10.1002/ejhf.1… @marisa1109 @Filippatos @mitja_lainscak @MarcoMetra @AlexMebazaa @TheresaMcDonag3 @maggioni5 @m_piepoli

What providing new-tech ventilators to hospitals with shortage of intensive care personnel looks like... #COVIDー19 #covid19Gr #HealthCareWorkers #ΜΕΘ #ΕΣΥ

The countries that will be most resilient to COVID-19 will be those with the most universal, equitable, responsive, and well-financed health systems. Never have three simple words—health for all—meant so much.

Excellent article from an expert summarizing emerging info.Good news is that most places do most of these “LESSONS LEARNED”.Some things still not being done universally: “ALL health-care workers are expected to wear regular surgical MASKS and GLOVES for ALL patient interactions”.

The UK is on the edge of an avoidable calamity. In addition to deaths preventable by more aggressive government action, it will be health workers who absorb the brunt of government complacency. In Lombardy, 20% of health workers have become infected “and some have died.”

In our study, expensive, high risk device, intravascular microaxial LVAD, found 'assoc w/higher risk of in-hospital death & major bleeding complications.’ Is it time to insist such devices be tested thoroughly before approval? jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/… @YaleMed @YaleCardiology
