Despite treatment w/ at least 3 blood pressure-lowering medications, a considerable proportion of Canadians, especially women, have difficulty achieving blood pressure control, resulting in higher risk of ❤️ disease, stroke & death onlinecjc.ca/article/S0828-… Alex Leung, MD MPH Raj Padwal

Less than 1% of patients suffering from PA are treated. Current strategies for diagnosing PA don't work well. Simplify testing for better diagnosis and treatment #hypertension #PrimaryAldosteronism Alex Leung, MD MPH Janice Lynn Pasieka IAES ahajrnls.org/3AqHV6B

Wow! “The link between lack of sleep and cancer is now so strong that the World Health Organization has classified any form of nighttime shift work as a probable carcinogen."

This is an amazing tutorial

"remission" should replace "cure" "the findings deconstruct the classical equivalence of lateralized PA with unilateral PA - we illustrate that lateralized PA can arise from multifocal CYP11B2 areas, at various stages of development, which might be present in 1 or both adrenals"

🇨🇦Big differences in blood pressure control across Canada! Over a million Canadians with hypertension are unaware, untreated, or uncontrolled--many who are at moderate to high risk of CV disease! Close the gap! 👉cjcopen.ca/article/S2589-… #CJCO #OpenAccess

We report detailed human studies to show that a substantial proportion of normotensive people exhibit phenotypic signatures of primary aldosteronism -providing mechanistic implications for the pathogenesis and treatment of hypertension Jen Brown ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/HY…

Unadjusted total calcium outperforms albumin-adjusted formulas in reflecting ionized calcium levels, reducing misclassification risk, especially in patients with hypoalbuminemia. ja.ma/3PKcISU

Findings from a new study suggest a significant paradigm shift in the field of hypertension. Researchers from UCalgaryMedicine say confirmatory testing for primary aldosteronism, a common cause of #hypertension, often misinforms care and should be removed from the diagnostic care

🏥Confirmatory testing for primary aldosteronism is unable to predict whether patients will respond to therapy. Alex Leung, MD MPH and researchers from UCalgaryMedicine discuss why health care professionals must move away from confirmatory testing.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but every time you copy and paste another physician’s note you undermine care.

Today we’re announcing otto-SR, an AI workflow to perform systematic reviews 3000x faster By using gpt-4.1 and o3-mini, ottoSR beats humans at all tasks In two days, we conducted 12 work-years of Cochrane research–finding 2x more relevant papers and altering key conclusions 🧵
