@wbaker0621 @accpcardprn Beyond deserving. Thanks for advancing our profession through your work!

@accpcardprn Thanks so much to the PRN and especially @ShannonFinks for the nomination. An incredible honor and amazing night.

It was great to see so many faces at the cardiology PRN business meeting last night. Thank you to our outgoing chair @AndySmithPharmD and secretary/treasurer @stormigale for all of their contributions this year! The PRN is in good hands with incoming chair Kate Cabral!

Me too!

@Capt3958 @julie_justo @pharmgirlsarah @DrBiochemistry @BBookstaver_USC @ae_gross If organized properly, pharmacists can administer tests to patients in their cars, protecting other consumers. Because of their accessibility, pharmacists should become key stakeholders in the push for more tests as well as in the delivery of timely and accurate results.

@julie_justo @pharmgirlsarah @DrBiochemistry @BBookstaver_USC @ae_gross As a consumer I would be very reluctant to enter an indoor space that attracted a concentration of people who suspected they had Covid 19 symptoms. Would these tests be provided in outdoor or stand alone spaces?

Super proud to be an author in @NEJM! Treatment of HTN in those with COPD should be considered a priority. Think of COPD as another compelling indication for treatment.

I’d like to argue that COPD should be a compelling treatment indication for HTN.

@wbaker0621 @accpcardprn @NEJM Thanks all! Super proud to be included as author in @NEJM! Would like to argue for COPD to be included as a compelling indication in the next HTN guidelines!

Check out this work by @accpcardprn past chair Shannon Finks & colleagues in @NEJM !!! “Treating Hypertension in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease” | NEJM nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

@carrie_oliphant Thank you @carrie_oliphant!

Incredible!!! Congrats @ShannonFinks! I’m so impressed by you!

@CardiacRX @NEJM Thank you @CardiacRX. I’m definitely on a professional high, no pharmaceuticals needed. It is an honor to be included as an author in @NEJM and am hopeful that control of HTN in patients with COPD will be considered a priority and control rates will be positively impacted.

I can't remember ever seeing another pharmacist author a @NEJM review article but would be happy for @ShannonFinks to be the first! Congrats! nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

@CardiacRX @accpcardprn Thanks guys. Channeled my inner Bob Ross.

@accpcardprn @ShannonFinks That’s one way to circumvent the copyright police @ShannonFinks!

@ShannonFinks on triple therapy after ACS: think about triple therapy as a triple threat, with triple the risk of bleeding #ACCPAM19

Cardiology group at #ACCPGC18 @accpcardprn

@accpcardprn I think age is relative. Some of my patients at 65 are “older” functionally than some 85 year olds I see. I like the arguement that we should look at a frailty index to help guide decisions. Gait speed was included in SPRINT as a part of frailty assessment.

T2: How does age affect your approach to anti-hypertensive therapy in older patients? What antihypertensives do you avoid? #cardprn

@accpcardprn And functional status. It’s a very individual risk versus benefit decision.

@accpcardprn I believe my elderly patients will benefit from a lower BP target of 130 mm Hg. But, I prioritize safety factors before adding on therapy to an elders medication profile. The factors I consider are much related to the SPRINT inclusion criteria.

T1: Do you target a goal of < 130/80 mmHg in older patients? What factors do you consider when selecting a blood pressure goal in this population? #cardprn
