3. Trial of an Intervention to Improve Acute Heart Failure Outcomes nej.md/3UaX7fi #cardiology

Heart failure is on the rise. Heart & Stroke and its partners have identified Significant gaps in delivery and access to HF resources and services in Canada. We have just launched a heart failure action plan to address these inequities. Read the report: sciencedirect.com/science/articl….

.University Health Network is the 1st to provide a global comparison of hospital readmission rates for #heartfailure patients. Farid Foroutan & Douglas Lee found substantial variability in readmission rates, which can’t be explained by healthcare spending or comorbidities. 🔗bit.ly/43CroIk

Examine the global variations in #HeartFailure readmissions and mortality with #JACC: bit.ly/3KeeNnN #CardioTwitter Douglas Lee

Global comparison of readmission rates amongst HF patients. Rates are high and variable. Not explained by healthcare spending, GDP, or rates of mortality. Opportunistic gap in evidence to better understand the notable variations Douglas Lee sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A step towards understanding the issue of #heartfailure #hospital readmissions in a global context. We have much to learn from each other. Kudos to Farid Foroutan, our collaborators, and team on this study! JACC Journals Peter Munk Cardiac Centre Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research UHN Research

Congrats to Elizabeth-Anne and Jose Navarro for their poster on #EHMRG systematic review of validation studies! Great work

Congrats to Ashwin Chauhan for his great summer research project on #heart failure! Great work!

Congrats to Daniel for an amazing job this summer on his research project and the wonderful team Karem Abdul-Samad Joann Varickanickal

Congrats to Paul Tieu for presenting his work at transform HF research day. Great work!

First up is the stroke localization one-pager. Unless you are a neurologist, it sure is hard to keep neuroanatomy straight, especially while on-call at 2AM. Thank you to Patricia Olar who drafted these incredible images and Dr Amy Yu, MD for her edits and feedback. 2/6

We suck at Acute Heart Failure Dx, risk stratification/disposition, we send home some hi-risk & admit lots of lo-risk pts. How can we do better?
