Here is a link to the app that makes NHANES analyses point and click: bcjaeger.shinyapps.io/nhanesShinyBP/ Published in @HyperAHA - I have used it in meetings to get preliminary data - very useful and exciting.

It was an honor to attend the celebration for Dr. Suzanne Oparil receiving an endowed professorship. A legend in the field who I am fortunate to work with at #UAB.

At @escardio meeting and the hypertension sessions are standing room only and the talks are great. BP goals, measurement and latest findings.

Very excited to have Dr. Shakia Hardy join the faculty in the Department of Epidemiology at @uabSOPH. I look forward to working with her on the @JHS_HeartStudy, CARDIA and other research studies.

This has been a great meeting in the past and I anticipate another great meeting this year.

In Pasadena, CA @KPSCalResearch for a working group meeting for the AMBROSIA and AMBROSIA-HOME studies funded by @nih_nhlbi, ABPM and HBPM being done in over 1,000 older adults. @DaichiShimbo @barrett_bowling

An observation after working on this last Thursday with @DaichiShimbo and Joe Schwartz in the Pickering conference room at @CBCH_Columbia. Nothing beats a retreat with colleagues, dedicated to focused goal. A great way to accelerate science. #teamscience

It’s almost 8pm in NYC and Byron Jaeger is burning the midnight oil on day 1 of the Jackson Heart Study writing retreat. Working on new analyses, manuscripts and grant proposals. @JHS_HeartStudy @DaichiShimbo @GbengaOgedegbe

A great celebration at the @uabSOPH for Gary Cutter who is "retiring". Original PI of the CARDIA coordinating center and a leading biostatistician in many areas.

Today and tomorrow are the 30th UAB Vascular Biology & Hypertension symposium. Sponsored by an R13 grant from @nih_nhlbi. Outstanding speakers including @michaelrakotz @HaydenBosworth @taraichang @PDrawz and many others.

Dr. Suzanne Oparil kicks off the @uab Interactive Workshop on Hypertension. Keynote speakers and a great opportunity to learn how to measure blood pressure from experts. #ABPM #HBPM

Congratulations to Swati Sakhuja, PhD student @uabSOPH for winning the Outstanding Scholastic Achievement Award.

Congratulations to @mad_sters for winning the Paul Dudley White award at #QCOR2019 with her poster from the #REGARDS study on 90 day mortality after heart failure hospitalization.

What a panel! Great insights! Thanks @rashmeeushah @jspertus @UmeshKhotMD @MuntnerPaul @kejoynt #QCOR19 @AHAMeetings

THREAD (1) In preparation for the upcoming @AHAMeetings #QCOR2019 early career programming, @mad_sters, @MikeTPhD, and I, wanted to start a conversation around best-practices for collaboration on manuscripts to maximize success and to avoid common pitfalls and missteps

On May 2, 2019, prior to the UAB Vascular Biology and Hypertension Symposium, there will be an Interactive Workshop on Hypertension. Learn how to measure blood pressure (ABPM, HBPM and office)! Its free but registration is required: goo.gl/forms/acn0VYFi…

The 30th Annual UAB Vascular Biology and Hypertension symposium will be on May 3-4, 2019. Funded by @nih_nhlbi. Sessions on novel diagnostics, BP measurement and SPRINT. Too many outstanding speakers to list. Registration is free: apps.medicine.uab.edu/ElectronicPaym…

Dr. Matt Mefford from @uabSOPH and @KPSCalResearch presenting data on PCSK9 loss of function variants and Lp(a) levels and apo(a) isoforms from the #REGARDSStudy at the @ACCinTouch meeting. Compelling results.

Great session on the new ACC/AHA CVD prevention guideline at the 2019 Scientific Sessions @ACCinTouch chaired by @Donnakarnett and @rblument1. Important work.

Dr. Ivor Benjamin giving the President's welcome at the @aha epi/lifestyle meeting. The AHA is sponsoring a lot of important initiatives. More volunteers are needed.
