Thankfully we now have guidance from Hirzallah et al (link below) > The ONSD POCUS QCC Panel have provided some much needed clarity and safety guidance: Link: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38836697/

Is the tilt table test overrated for syncope evaluation? This article raises some compelling points—a great read for autonomic disorder enthusiasts! ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…

FINALLY! More important to individualise fluid needs, drink to thirst and limit sodium!! Not all HF patients have fluid excess.

We often use the terms internal and external validity in trials, but are we really clear what those terms mean? 1/9 #MethodologyMonday #114

Cardiogenic shock remains a HEMODYNAMIC diagnosis. Not one of heart failure but circulatory failure. Profiling remains tricky if you don’t have a roadmap. Key is to have a well placed Swan and look at trends.

Marat Fudim, MD MHS and team break down the ZOLL Heart Failure Management System (HFMS)—a non-invasive wearable that tracks lung fluid to detect early HF decompensation. Insights from the BMAD trial show fewer readmissions & better QoL. (link.springer.com/article/10.100…) Read #HREV Mark Kittipibul MD

It was a full circle moment to give a graduating fellow GR at Duke Cardiology Fellows yesterday on "Navigating Diagnostic Challenges in HFpEF" Undiagnosed HFpEF is common and we need to do better to find them. With no diagnosis - there will be no treatment and suffering continues.
