The Million Veteran Program is the @DeptVetAffairs' gift that keeps on giving...critical clues to the etiology and treatment of coronary disease, the #1 cause of death worldwide. Thank you U.S. Veterans and program leadership for making this possible. Let's keep it going!

Excited to share findings from my PhD work published in @AJCNutrition! As Dr. Hennigar noted in his editorial—“Findings from this study reframe how we think about dietary Fe requirements and build evidence for more precise Fe intake and supplementation guidelines”. Links below!👇

AbstractAims. Elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, but the mechanisms of risk are debated. S

Huge missed opportunity <25% of young adults who should be on statins for high cholesterol or ASCVD are getting them, with key driver being docs aren’t recommending them Need to improve risk prediction for young people, but also need to better implement what we already know now

Two important implications of this NHANES-based paper from @ShoaClarke @blakewthomson @StanfordMed. For younger adults (20-39yo), (1) current risk prediction is woefully insufficient, and (2) when elevated risk is recognized, there needs to be markedly better implementation of statins sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

@ErinMichos presenting @CMHC_CME on CVD in younger people 🫀think about magnitude and duration as exposure or cumulative risk of risk factors 🫀 Concerns of PREVENT risk score 🫀Let’s retire the therapeutic paradigm of “too much too late”

How should we feel about the incoming deluge of AI-generated text in our electronic health records? (if you don’t want to read, the answer is, “not good”). 🧵 from my piece with @arjunmanrai and @LiamGMcCoy ⬇️ xitter.cf/EricTopol/status/18501…

Excited about bio research, but don't have 1-2+ years of research experience needed for many top PhD programs? @UCSF_PROPEL, we think everyone with the drive to pursue science should have an opportunity for paid research. Info session 11/22, app due 12/4: justice.ucsf.edu
