@curmudgeoncard Without being pedantic, does that matter? If all-cause death is decreased, should that not be celebrated? By extension, should mortality benefit be the only reason to advocate for vaccination?

@MaxBourdillon Should’ve been more specific. RCT that show they decrease death from which they’re intended.

Let me be clear…this is NOT an anti-vax statement—it’s an EBM comment. I am 💯commited to vaccination. We need to dial down much of the rhetoric about them. Many vaccines have never been shown to decrease mortality: not HPV, influenza, or COVID. Disagree? Show me the data.

I got stopped by TSA for a “weapon” in my carry on bag. It was my calipers. The TSA agent laughed at me.

@DrMichelIbrahim I could be wrong but I thought his first event was at training. There was a separate instance at a game where the ICD fired quite publically

when I spent a week or so digging through the pre-op literature a few months ago, I came away thinking it was easily one of the biggest areas of waste in medicine. almost none of it makes any empirical sense

Really great talk by Dr. Michael Rich: no evidence of benefit for peri-operative stress testing. #ACC21 Missing from this discussion: non-cardiac surgeons. They need to agree to operate w/o stress test

@a_h_ghoneem Could this be an area where weight loss therapies - ranging from semaglutide to bariatric surgery could have a role?

Obstructive sleep apnea is a VERY important risk factor of Afib. Management of OSA should be as important as management of the Afib itself!

@CardioNerdsJC As an aside, do you screen your AF patients for OSA? What about your obese patients with AF? Or obese patient with HTN and AF? #CardsJC

@SKimballMD @JamesCHudspeth @TJamesMD @TraceyDechert @BMCHealthEquity @jabarocas @SESanchezMD @michellemorse For something more philosophical, I’ve always been struck by John Rawls’ principles of Justice, specifically the difference principle - Social and economic inequalities are to be arranged so that they are to the greatest benefit of the least advantaged

1/ Why does obesity cause a "falsely low" B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in patients with heart failure? I often hear this used to explain unexpectedly low BNP results, but I've never really understood why. Let's explore in a #tweetorial. #medtwitter #cardiotwitter
