The correct terminology should be "persistent foramen ovale". Patent = open Foramen = hole. Q: When is a hole not a hole? A: When it's not open. (Am I being pedantic?)

Very sad to hear of the sudden death of Dr Andrew Flapan, Consultant Cardiologist in Edinburgh. As a young doctor he was a major inspiration to me. Later, I had a great dinner with him at @RCPEdin the night before I gave a lecture. A great loss 😢

One challenge is the number of tablets that we are now suggesting someone with an acute mi takes home with them? For an out of the blue mi … they already acquire 5-7 meds… can we really think they should have more?
Since 2016 and the Improve It trial we have known that two drugs statins and ezetimibe combination therapy were better than statin monotherapy after an MI for CVD prevention. We also have had PCSK9i trials showing other combination therapies also reduce CVD when added to statins.

I've enjoyed several great Milroy lectures on the state of public health over the years. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milr…. Today I fulfilled a dream of giving one. Thanks @RCPhysicians for the opportunity 🙏🏽. Non-communicable vs communicable diseases-a paradigm unfit for the 21st century?
