@ebtapper Love this and have shared it with my trainees. Was told by a hepatologist to never use IV Lasix since oral absorption should be preserved vs CHF where there is gut edema. and iv lasix can precipitate HRS, can you comment?

🧵 The Cardiac Function Curve — why it misleads (Part 1) 1/ The cardiac function curve is one of the most recognisable images in physiology. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the most misdrawn, mislabelled, and misunderstood. Let’s redraw it — and see what it really tells us about the circulation. #MedX #FOAMed #physiology

You've probably heard "don't give lactated ringers because it raises lactate" This statement is ~98% false, but there's one crucial practice-changing fact that you need to know. A 🧵 all about lactic acid and lactated ringers! 1/

🧵1/ Last year, a thoughtful reply to our @JAMA_current article sent me down a rabbit hole on CVD prevention. Should statins be prescribed less or more often? Available OTC? Added to the water supply?? Let’s talk trials, thresholds, and tradeoffs!

Please - if you are going to use a steroid to treat Alcohol-associated hepatitis - please do not send a patient on a wild goose chase searching for a pharmacy that carries prednisolone Prednisone is fine
Elliot Tapper@ebtapper

A great study answers a clinical question And this is a great study Does one kind of steroid help patients with alcohol-associated hepatitis more than the other? No journals.lww.com/hepcomm/fullte… @HepCommJournal @juanpabloarab
