@Derek_Leong_RPh @Loai_55 Thank you Derek!!!

Congratulations @vgarg14 and @Loai_55!

@denniskomd Hahah

Looks like Vinay is the program director. He does dresses nicely

@Derek_Leong_RPh Similar to our discussion I agree with what you've said!! It adds something for but just isn't a slam dunk! Btw love your short synopses on these trials. You're an absolute legend 🙌🏽

@vgarg14 CV & non-CV mortality less frequent in mono group, so less major bleeding doesn't explain it all. Overall, this trial helps to support our guidelines recommending OAC alone in stable CAD + AF, but nice to have more trials showing the same. What are people at ESC saying?

AFIRE study: In Pts with AFib (CHADS2=2) & stable CAD (>1 year post-PCI/CABG if revascularized), rivaroxaban 15 mg/d alone non-inferior for MACE vs. rivaroxaban 15 mg/d + SAPT (mainly ASA). ⬆️ major bleeding & all-cause mortality with combination group. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

@DrAndreaKoko @MDAndersonNews Proud of you!

Bosnian refugee-> Immigrant-> Proud Canadian-> MD-> Urologist-> Future urologic oncologist via @MDAndersonNews. Tnx mom & dad who made this happen with $5 to their name, and a relentless drive & determination to have their kids succeed. Can’t buy 🔥 like this #HappyImmigrantDocs

@Derek_Leong_RPh Also hard to make sense of the results biologically. Interesting to see how this will get uptaken...

Prasugrel superior to Ticagrelor in ACS! How will it influence your daily practice? @AGIKinterv @KPujdak @rvprog @naderjo @GreggWStone @mmamas1973 @mirvatalasnag #ESCCongress Ticagrelor or Prasugrel in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes | NEJM nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

@shanfernands @bmj_latest @emergmedottawa @OttawaMedicine @WhatsUp_Doc123 @Bram_Rochwerg @kwadwo777 @dgriesdale @kinabamd @OttawaHospital @CritCareSociety @CAEP_Docs Amazing job! Congrats!!

A question we often ask in the ED/ICU: Does this patient have increased ICP? Our @bmj_latest study found that traditional physical exam and CT signs had poor accuracy for elevated ICP. If suspected, consider treatment & transfer for invasive monitoring. bmj.com/content/366/bm…

Yesterday I had the privilege to present the results of the CIRCA-DOSE trial as part of the late breaking trials session at #EHRA2019. For those that missed it I thought I would recap the presentation in this thread. @escardio @VCHResearch @HeartandStroke @UBCDoM

@Eva3034385615 @DanielJDrucker Sorry I still don't see the reference...

@DanielJDrucker so today I think I downloaded yet another reason to avoid SGLT-2 inhibitors...BONE LOSS due to how the drug works...its very effective at inducing bone loss. that's okay, your blood sugar is "all better now" but you have osteoporosis & we just do not know why

Is it time to retire the three drugs vs. two drugs paradigm in #diabetes clinical trials? This was not early initial combo vs. sequential add on...

Intern: *presents patient* Intern brain: Don’t say it Don’t say it Don’t say it Don’t say it Don’t say it Don’t say it Don’t say it Don’t say it Don’t say it Don’t say it Intern: Vitals were stable 🙊

Discussions w/ @DLBHATTMD on the EMPA-HEART Cardiolink-6 trial at #AHA18. ow.ly/eybP30mzNVM #Diabetes

Very interesting survey of residents in Canada: "Patients were the most common source of abuse", far exceeding other health professionals, staff physicians, and other residents. @NightShiftMD @picardonhealth @DrJenGunter cmajnews.com/2018/10/31/can…

@FageMD LOL I saw this now, 4 years later. I feel like a dinosaur.

@vgarg14 twitter sent me an email to let me know you joined twitter. #bigdeal

Finishing two weeks on service today. About 10 patients with stroke. All over the age of 60. All had a normal transthoracic echo (TTE). I really struggle to understand why we do a TTE on these patients.

@tingdan @leegarthgraham @361Joules @geoff_sanz @baylis_jared @t_mackle This will never be adequately studied so if you can't have PCI and this is high on your differential you should probably do this. Did this once as a bridge to PCI - patient unfortunately died but you don't have many options.

In a PCI-capable centre that will not catheterize during ongoing CPR, what is the role for fibrinolytics to treat a cardiac arrest from a presumed coronary thrombus? #FOAMed @leegarthgraham @361Joules @geoff_sanz @baylis_jared @t_mackle

@Stueckmann hire @justinbansal because he deserves a chance to show you what he can do. He'll give you 110% and nothing less.
