Considering Dose in Pharmacological Therapies for HF
How does dose factor into clinical decision-making surrounding implementation of comprehensive medical Rx in HF?
New correspondence in @TheLancet with @gcfmd #JJVMcMurray @scottdsolomon with summary of available evidence 👇🏾
Just wondering what phase people living with heart failure will eventually come under for vaccination. ❤️
People living with #HeartFailure and other heart conditions are at high risk of severe #COVID19 symptoms and admission to intensive care. bit.ly/HF-COVID19

Interesting read.
Heart failure is as malignant as cancer- even in contemporary practice- please sign the following petition to ensure that HF pts have a legal right to be seen within weeks and not months/ ever! @foziaahmedMD @ShrillaB @bes502 @dr_benoy_n_shah @iamritu @escardio @MKIttlesonMD

Data from @TheBHF
•Around 80% of heart failure (HF) diagnoses are made in hospital, despite 40% of patients having symptoms that should have triggered an earlier assessment
•Almost 1,000,000 people with HF in the UK & apx 200,000 new diagnoses every year
Please sign &retweet🙏🏾
#Petition: In 2010 it became a legal right of #NHS patients with suspected cancer to be seen by a hospital Dr within 2 weeks of a #GP referral. #HeartFailure patients deserve that the same recommended right is set out in law. Add your voice, sign & share ❤️petition.parliament.uk/petit…

Patients with heart failure nearly double their risk of dying if they get CoViD-19. Experts in heart failure @BSHeartFailure strongly recommend that all those eligible for vaccination accept, if offered.
"Heart failure services are open" they emphasise @BSHNurseForum @GeriSoc
Well done, great support mechanism for people living with heart failure. Looking forward to the podcasts.❤️
Liam was diagnosed with heart failure four years ago. He is one of the 90,000 people diagnosed with heart failure in Ireland.

All women face the threat of #heartdisease. Know the symptoms and risks unique to women. Women are more likely than men to have heart attack symptoms unrelated to chest pain, like neck, jaw, shoulder, upper back or abdominal discomfort. Learn more: mayocl.in/3s08EAU

But the maths is tough at 3am. Particularly when you just been woken up by a transplant co-ordinator. So we’ve developed an App to do the maths for you. And it’s FREE to download from the Apple store or Google play.

Look forward to reading this. In sicker HF patients - those trading on a sinus tachycardia to maintain cardiac output - I would tend to leave beta-blocker until last. But completely agree with the importance of getting #quadrupletherapy on board 👍🏼
