Wake up and smell the arrhythmia risk reduction

If systemic hypotension was the sole cause of ischemic hepatitis, every patient in the MICU would have ALT >500 But the incidence is 1 in 50 You need right heart failure, congestion, that exceeds portal pressure. Then the systemic bp drop can be transient or relative
Being a hepatologist means you diagnose a LOT of heart failure 1. Ascites, often with high total protein 2. ALT > 400 is most often due to ischemic hepatitis. This is caused most by venous congestion and less by systemic hypotension. echo often unhelpful

Big news: The Pike Place pedestrian pilot is being extended through next spring! Fewer cars = more space to walk, shop, sit, and enjoy the heart of Seattle. The pilot has created a safer, more welcoming experience for locals and visitors alike — and it’s working.

"Freedom" apparently means letting cities grow like cancer cells until there's no farms or open space left and everyone is forced to buy a car for basic daily needs.

'It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a #cow, or a #refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them.' —@Lorespontevedra, Mayor of #Pontevedra🇪🇸 (re-elected SIX times)

When I worked in the Texas Medical Center I routinely had patients no-show because they had to choose between the cost of their parking and the cost of their meds (this was in the pre-telehealth era: “you’ll just have to call in my refills, doc”) https://t.co/CfjFKxihx5

Texas Medical Center leaders have been slow to take up parking garage improvements that multiple engineering firms have recommended over the last 10 years.
