My manager has recognized my country 🥹 Ugandan Arsenal fans, we are exactly what we think we are! Very massive 🥳

Raila Odinga was a true champion of democracy. A child of independence, he endured decades of struggle and sacrifice for the broader cause of freedom and self-governance in Kenya. Time and again, I personally saw him put the interests of his country ahead of his own ambitions. Like few other leaders anywhere, he was willing to choose the path of peaceful reconciliation without compromising his core values. Through his life, Raila Odinga set an example not just for Kenyans, but across Africa and around the world. I know he will be missed. Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and to the people of Kenya.

Congratulations to Ivan N. Mugisha, MD (@Van_mugs), cardiologist, and William P. Towne, MD, interventional cardiologist, for earning perfect scores in Likelihood to Recommend Provider surveys over the past year. Based on over 150 patient satisfaction surveys, their perfect scores reflect their dedication to excellent heart care.

New law: Every time you say physicians just push pills and don't care about their patient's health, you have to do 8 hours of state-mandated shadowing of a family physician.

Native heart recovery is the optimal outcome for a heart failure patient. UPMC focused on NHR and recovered 39% of our cardiogenic shock patients receiving Impella 5.5 in 2024. Looking forward to when HF programs post how many Heart Recovery pts they had instead of #OHtx/VAD.

This is an important video to share, not just because the great Reggie Jackson is speaking, but because it’s a reminder that we have so many older Black folks walking around today who are psychologically scarred from the racial terrorism they experienced. This country likes to sell this idea that there was some joy in overcoming these experiences, when in reality, it was tremendous pain — so much so that many of our elders don’t even want to discuss it.

Holy shit. Talk about insult to injury. Anthony Davis plays exceptional defense only to have Jamal Murray bury the game winner in his eye… Followed by getting buried in the Nuggets team celebration LMAO WHAT A GAME

📄 20 studies that Internal Medicine Residents should read in the first year 👇 1/ 🏃‍♀️ RACE II trial: Lenient resting HR < 110 was non-inferior to a strict HR < 80 in patients with atrial fibrillation. 🧵

The pendulum has swung too far. Penalizing falls in the hospital has resulted in patients who aren’t allowed to get out of bed. They get weaker, depressed, constipated, pressure ulcers and ultimately need SNF placement. Ambulation should be viewed as a key to healing.

As a cardiologist, every day I see 2-3 patients who need clearance for surgery 🔪 ALL of them are on blood thinners🩸 Every surgeon wants to stop these medicines💊 The patients ask: Is it safe? Should I stop? Let's see how to deal with blood thinners before surgery 🧵👇

Today we joined @PittTweet & @UPMCnews colleagues for the 4th annual White Coats Against Racism & Injustice Kneel. But it’s not just today we advocate against racism & injustice. Every day we strive for an anti-racist world.

I’m saying this louder for the people in the back. SGLT2i are NOT nephrotoxic! They are actually kidney protective! Watch the GFR yes but don’t just reflexively punt the kidney saving medication because the creatinine bumped a little (as expected).

#TCT2022 if patient has CABG, should we go for CCTA as first test or do invasive angiogram? BypassCTCA answers the questions! Results are obvious to those who already advocate for #YesCCT for the win!
