Latest from Hull published online in @Heart_BMJ Patients prescribed loop diuretics in the community who do not have a diagnosis of HF have very similar outcomes to patients with HF. IMO - this is how how we detect (some) of the undetected heart.bmj.com/content/early/…

Realities we should be telling junior academics: 1. There are not as many senior medical academic posts as there are junior ones, many will not make it. 2. There are not enough hours in the day to have everything in life and you have to make tough decisions.

Interesting work, IVC diameter only predicted fluid responsiveness in 23% patients.
ICU Studies - Refresher: Are you using the IVC diameter to "predict" if an ICU patient is "fluid responsive" (FR)? This was an important multi-center descriptive study conducted during a 2-yr period in 5 French ICUs 540 ventilated patients w shock of various origins underwent

Consultant watching the SpR consent for PCI “The benefits include improved symptoms and a lower risk of heart attacks and death.”
Trump said that the United States and Italy have been allies since the time of Ancient Rome. The translator's reaction is priceless.

At this stage, I’d be staggered if the REVIVED trialists find a clinically relevant subgroup in who PCI had benefit. I’ll be long retired before this trial stops being relevant. PCI in LVSD? Don’t do it, don’t do it, don’t do it!
Does ischaemia predict clinical outcomes and response to PCI? 📣 breaking data from REVIVED in @EHJ_ed today 🚨 Patients had extensive ischaemia (mean 31% of LV) and scar (mean 18% of LV) 🚨 Ischaemic burden did NOT predict outcomes, or response to PCI academic.oup.com/eurheartj/a…

This is spot on. It’s 2024 and I cant see blood results or chest x-rays from a hospital ~20 miles away.
The NHS needs to shift from analogue to digital, from treating sickness to prevention, and from hospital to community. Better use of data will be central to achieving this, says Editorial, but technical, rather than bureaucratic, solutions are needed bmj.com/content/387/bmj.q273…

Excellent initiative from @JCardFail editors encouraging scientific debate - essential when have so few data on which to base clinical practice

If the purpose of SC furosemide is to allow people with decompensation to stay at home, I struggle to see the benefit over higher doses of PO diuretic - surely less intrusive?

Also, absolute urine volume not reported - why? No difference?
