'Despite previous reviews suggesting advantages of cont infusion vs. bolus injections, our review found insufficient evidence to support/refute this. However, our review, which excluded trials with clinical confounders & RCTs with ⬆️ risk of bias, offers most robust conclusion..'

Wow! 😮😳. Personal Fat Threshold matters. See so many south asians with crazy lipids, fatty liver, fatty heart and high fasting triglycerides. Coronary disease, Early MI and heart failure is too frequent 😪😰🙈. #prevention Danielle Belardo, MD Dr Paddy Barrett Erin D. Michos, M.D. Ethan J. Weiss 🙏

Brilliant to be back and presenting on State of the Nation on CVD - holistic CV risk factor management is the way forward!

Harassment of scientists is surging: institutions aren’t sure how to help

Astute comment by Kim Williams RUSH University

“How did CACS get left off of the HF guidelines❓”

📳 70% of HF patients have CAD

📳 50% of AA HF patients have CAD (rest have HTN)

📳 Many have impaired eGFR & CACS is useful in establishing the diagnosis

Some food for thought 🤔
Low-Carbohydrate High-Fat Diet (LCHF), Plasma Lipid Levels & Cardiovascular Risk

'Consumption of a LCHF diet was associated with increased LDL-C and apolipoprotein B levels, and an increased risk of incident MACE.'

Similar challenges are in pharmacy!
Not all promotions to higher bands are a genuine competitive process nowadays. There seems to be a trend of handing out higher bands based on ambiguous justifications.

In a poll, 80% reported favouritism, nepotism & cronyism at work place.

You are speaking out for many trying to navigate institutions where bullying culture isn't challenged. Senior perpetrators are protected. When policies of dignity at work or grievance are activated, they are found to be only ink on paper & applied selectively. We must do better.
