Another great study from @SFVAMC team, here showing mortality benefits from Home‐Based #Cardiac #Rehabilitation BUT only 44% of those eligible participated #ImpSci desperately needed to ⬆️ patients enrolled #Veterans @vahsrd #HealthyHeart In @JAHA_AHA

Home-based cardiac rehab (HBCR) associated with a 36% reduction of mortality at >4 year median follow-up (with IPTW analysis) https://t.co/UBsvAFhwJg @MaryWhooley @niru_krish @UCSF @JAHA_AHA

Home-based cardiac rehab works! Please refer your low-medium risk patients to a HBCR program if they can’t go to facility based CR @MaryWhooley @schopfermd @Aziz_Nagar @JAHA_AHA

Fresh off the press: Similar reductions in morbidity and mortality among Veterans with ischemic heart disease who attend VA vs. non-VA cardiac rehab programs! @JAMANetworkOpen @vahsrd @VAResearch @MaryWhooley @schopfermd

A resurgence of diabetes complications has appeared in national statistics and in the epidemiology literature: increases in LE amputations, hyperglycemic crises, and CVD (ESKD, AMI, stroke). There are 4 plausible explanations for this concerning trend

Among high risk patients w prediabetes, metformin reduces diabetes risk and is assoc'd w modest weight loss. There is evidence supporting its use for PCOS and gestational diabetes, & research is ongoing into its use for cancer prevention and to delay aging

Veterans with depression and/or PTSD more likely to seek cardiac rehab https://t.co/vxmcT8IWTA

Veterans with PTSD/depression more likely to participate in cardiac rehab! @schopfermd @JAHA_AHA @vahsrd @VAResearch https://t.co/CmmXTA9PMC

What a wonderful day with meaningful discussions around global health economics, vulnerable populations and universal health coverage #GHECon2018 #globalhealth

A shout-out to @ashishkjha for spending the day with us at #GHEcon2018 and reminding us that Universal Health Coverage without quality controls may do more harm than good (India beware!). Most thoughtful analysis of pitfalls of UHC I’ve ever seen. @UCSFMedicine @StanfordHP 2/3
