Indian mango cartel is alive and kicking on X.

Getting good mangoes in the US is absurdly hard. 4:56pm: new shipment in 5:16pm: sold out

Snagged my 2nd beautiful piece of art (featured on Braunwald’s Heart Disease textbook) donated by @CMichaelGibson at the #HRS2026 Gala last night. Got my 1st piece at last year’s Gala! @HRSonline

@BIDMC_Medicine @rwyeh @harvardmed @JenHoCardiology @BidmcCvi @BIDMC_Research Congratulations, Jen! This is so well deserved!

Congratulations to Dr. Jennifer Ho on her promotion to Professor of Medicine @harvardmed! As Director of Research in our Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, she has been instrumental in empowering collaborative research to advance cardiovascular health 🌟

@jeffrey_vinocur @DrSanatani would be interesting to see the ECGs or ETTs of these gene negative patients.
English
#HRS2026 Grace Zhang from @DrSanatani team with exciting update on the expected genetic testing yield in CPVT - much more in line with LQTS
For me: like LQTS, negative genetic testing should prompt carefully reconsideration to be sure of the diagnosis

We are deeply saddened to have lost our founding chairman and the father of modern academic cardiology, Dr. Eugene Braunwald, who founded the TIMI Study Group in 1984, and with that vision profoundly shaped the practice of cardiovascular medicine across the world.
English
This beautiful painting encapsulates how many of us remember him. The network effects of his mentorship scale to six or maybe seven figures. The personal advice I was privileged to receive from him was seminal and consequential. This is an immeasurable loss, but his legacy will endure for centuries.

@venkmurthy The audience for guidelines, reviews, and consensus statements is no longer clinicians but LLMs.
For 15 years, I argued that guidelines should include APIs for digital translation and interoperability. We don’t need that anymore.
English
This assumes primary research papers say the whole story!
Often the practical warts are only eventually somewhat expressed in reviews (if at all)
Without them, where will future LLMs get their info about real world experience?
Papa Heme@Papa_Heme
In my opinion OpenEvidence has basically ended the need for UpToDate, however, some disagree. Can we at least all agree that there is virtually no role now for medical book chapters, reviews etc… that are obsolete the second they are finally published.
English
This is unfortunate and is one of the biggest problems we have with the journal establishment today: a complete lack of author authentication.
Eric Topol@EricTopol
This is a FRAUDULENT paper, AI-generated. My name was used as an author and I had nothing to do with it, never saw it until today e-pubmed.co.uk/journals/digit… The "Editors" Angelo Rossi Mori, David Mensah, and Zarnie Khadjesari should be reported.

@lsjMD @DrJasonAndrade @drjohnm @Dominik_Linz @PrashSanders @Phiso_de More patients with AF today have lower burden and are lower chadsvasc.
English
@leftbundle @DrJasonAndrade @drjohnm @Dominik_Linz @PrashSanders @Phiso_de And you think this changes the proportions? If so, how?
English
#EPeeps - was discussing this today and interested if anyone has thoughts/a reference:
AF is responsible for about 1/3 of strokes and 1/3 of ESUS
But
In a patients with AF - what proportion of strokes are due to AF?
@drjohnm @Dominik_Linz @PrashSanders @Phiso_de
English
@DrJasonAndrade @drjohnm @Dominik_Linz @PrashSanders @Phiso_de In AF with low CHADS-VASC, most stroke is probably from AF but stroke incidence is low.
In AF with low CHADS-VASC, more stroke may not be form AF due to more competing causes of stroke, the incidence is high, and noncardioembolic stroke may respond to the same drugs.
English
English
@lsjMD @drjohnm @Dominik_Linz @PrashSanders @Phiso_de That was the postulate of one of my mentors 15 years ago. The argument being OAC disproportionately reduces stroke beyond what would be expected for af stroke incidence

The Fellows-in-Training Lounge at #HRS2026 is built for both downtime and development.
Stop in to recharge, connect with peers, and dive into sessions like:
🔸 Rethinking EP outcomes and the patient experience
🔸 Busting common myths in arrhythmia management
🔸 Post-PVI monitoring and what really matters
🔸 AF burden, PVC/VT assessment, and evolving data
🔸 Real-world cases every fellow should see
Plus: dedicated career mentoring + networking with EP leaders.
Refreshments, Wi-Fi, and practical insights all in one place. Sponsored by @iRhythmTech

@drjohnm Agree. But a randomized trial can also show a non-causal reduction in death because of differential co-interventions or behavior changes for which the study intervention is not required in real life. Most RCTs do a poor job of documenting or analyzing cointerventions.
English
If your non random comparison study finds that LAAC reduces death, it is by definition marred by selection bias.
Because LAAC does not reduce death in RCTs (LAAOS 3)

Happy to share our latest study on LAAO vs DOACs in AF patients with prior stroke, now published in @JACCJournals. Impressive work as always by 🌟@Chadi_97EP @CleClinicHVTI @omwazni #EPeeps jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

The AP Lounge at #HRS2026 is more than a place to recharge. It’s where learning and connection come together.
Join sessions on:
🔹 Symptom–arrhythmia correlation and clinical decision-making
🔹 The legacy and impact of Allied Professionals
🔹 Sleep, circadian biology, and arrhythmias
🔹 Wearables, devices, and disparities in care
🔹 Innovation in action through Shark Tank + LEAP
Stop by between sessions to stay informed, connect with peers, and make the most of your time onsite.

#epeeps don’t miss this. If you are mid+ career, then come and pay it forward. If you are a fellow or early career, then come expand your network and garner advice and opportunity as you chart your professional path.
I care deeply about mentoring because it’s helped me immeasurably. Thanks to @HRSonline for giving @iRhythmTech the opportunity to sponsor. #HRS2026

@pitdesi Easier to go through security twice (A then G, which also gets you to T3). Otherwise you are walking a full circle.

PSA: you can now get good Indian food at SFO!
Air India just opened a Maharaja lounge. It’s tiny but the best lounge at SFO, and free for star alliance gold members.
problem: it’s in the A gates. You can go airside but it’s a really long walk if coming from United terminals (G/3/2)

@DrSiyabMD @ashishkjha Agree. It's not going to age well. Nutritional epidemiology is a belief system, not a science.
English
@ashishkjha Agree. We should also agree that that whole heavily pushed messaging about "a glass of wine a day is good for your heart" is also bullshit, when all things considered the overall risks outweigh any benefits.
English
Telling people that no amount of alcohol is "safe" is technically true but also stupid messaging
No amount of driving is safe
No amount of bacon is safe
We should explain risk and let adults decide
A woman who has a glass of wine a day for her entire adult life increases her lifetime risk of developing breast cancer by 1.8% compared to a woman who never drinks at all
Not nothing but also, not that much (your risk tolerance may differ)
Derek Thompson@DKThomp
One of the things I found really frustrating about public health guidance during the pandemic was that the public wasn't trusted with nuance, so the communication was often over-torqued. I think health communicators should trust their audiences with nuance. "Friends, stop drinking alcohol. Not cut back. Eliminate." isnt' really nuance. It's absolutism. You're offering a pragmatic defense of absolutism, and it's smart to be pragmatic, but I'd prefer we just be honest: Alcohol is a delicious bit of extremely mild cellular poison and having too much of it is really bad in the long run but having a little of it won't kill you. Everything in the realm of diet circles the issue of moderation. Chronic caloric surplus leads to obesity. Severe caloric deficit can lead to death. I'd prefer we attempt to articulate the principle of moderation in alcohol, too

@drjohnm Many programs knew this from their own pre/post implementation data. N of 1 cluster/crossover is adequate. Not everything needs a patient level explanatory trial. Old news.
