#MRAs for the win! Though they can have serious side effects, when used appropriately with monitoring can improve care for many patients with HF! 🫀

So proud of all of our residents and students showcasing their research! Lauren Lacoursiere Olivia Denny Chelsea Barvian

You’re telling me Fomepizole Aripiprazole Omeprazole And Ketoconazole ALL DO DIFFERENT THINGS? AND I HAVE TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE?

Is anyone else worried about cardiogenic shock when initiating a BB after ACS? Our study found low rates after PCI, even in those with anterior MI! Watch for elevated troponin as a potential risk factor for shock development. So proud of Lauren Lacoursiere for her hard work! @UBPharm

Awesome UB students presenting their research at NYSCHP @UBPharm 💊🎉

Had a blast talking about the benefits of professional social media at Annual Assembly! NYSCHP @UBPharm #TwitteRx

It was such an honor to represent UB_SPPS at the NYSCHP Annual Assembly student quiz bowl with my pharmacy knowledge buddy Aman Patel! Happy to come away with second place against some excellent competition. Need to brush up on meningitis treatment guidelines before APPEs 😬

Reminder to join us tomorrow to review CLEAR Outcomes and LODESTAR trials!

Proud moment when a project we've spent countless hours developing comes to fruition. Take our interprofessional CE program to improve your ability to care for patients with kidney disease!

Diuretics will only deplete your intravascular volume. When patients are fluid overloaded the extra fluid is in their extravascular space. Thus we can only diuresis patients so quickly because the fluid needs to move intravascularly #OTILT

A serum potassium goal in a cardiac unit is 4 mEq/L. When repleting potassium each 10 mEq we give a patient will increase their serum potassium by 0.1 mEq. It is better to use oral potassium when possible because IV potassium is caustic and can be painful #OTILT

For patients with heart block (HB) medications that may be causing it should be removed (BB, CCB, digoxin, etc.) If the HB is irreversible a pacemaker (PM) may need to be placed in the patient and heparin should be held 24 hrs before + 48 hrs after PM placement Maya Chilbert (Holsen) #OTILT

To treat ventricular tachycardia (VT) acutely treatment options can include lidocaine and amiodarone. Lidocaine is lipophilic and can cross the blood brain barrier. Amiodarone causes iodine deposits that can be of concern when used chronically. Maya Chilbert (Holsen) #OTILTW

Hypervolemic hyponatremia can occur due to SIADH. The usual treatment includes fluid restriction, IV furosemide, and 3% NS. If the serum sodium is less than 125 use of vasopressin antagonists can be considered such as Tolvaptan and Conivaptan. Maya Chilbert (Holsen) #OTILTW

Listen to your heart ❤ 🎵 What to do when a patient doesn't make it to PCI in 2 hours. Don't miss this #TeachingTuesday review of thrombolytics by Lyndsi Roland and her mentor Rachel Klosko
