See this excellent🧵from Stefan Simović below!

Important words from Nassir Marrouche:

#AFib #Ablation is the 5th pillar of #GDMT for #HeartFailure - stopping the cycle of atrial myopathy and LV dysfunction. “Don’t cardiovert; ablate” - it changes the substrate!

Highlights from my talk on OAC in device detected atrial fibrillation (DDAF):

- DDAF affects 30% of pts w/ CIED >65 yo
- Stroke risk related to longest duration and CHA2DS2-VASc
- DDAF <5 min not clinically significant but >24h approaches clinical AF if elevated C2V
- >6 min

HB379 by Rep Scott Stadthagen would prohibit Chinese citizens from owning property in AL. You might think this xenophobic legislation is something out of the distant past, but Alien Land Acts have been on the books right up til 2018

#alpolitics #Justice #Equity #AlienLandAct

May is #AAPI HeritageMonth . We should be celebrating the contributions of the #AAPI community, not reverting to xenophobic laws. We believe in a just & inclusive society for ALL, and we won't stop til we get it! #freedom #powertothepeople #socialchange #changeagents #alpolitics
