Patient w/ side effects to statin therapy? Try this: rosuvastatin 2.5mg TIW. Rosuva is hydrophilic, so it causes fewer side effects than atorva/simva. And because of long half-life, TIW dosing gives decent coverage all week. #CardioTwitter #MedEd #cardioed @DrMarthaGulati

#Thread 1/ How does your selection committee (Med school, residency/fellowship, faculty) define MERIT? Grades? Test scores? AOA membership? Prestige of training program? # of NIH grants? Try this: define merit based on what you want them to achieve.

@MKIttlesonMD @SrihariNaiduMD @NavinKapur4 @SVRaoMD @AndrewJSauer @SunnyVMD @jonathan_salik To me, the word “shock” still implies hypoperfusion, so I have a hard time using that word to describe this person. And I get that context matters. Still, my vote is “Low Output HF”.

Clearly this poll struck a chord! To clarify: - Normal MAP - High SVR on RHC. - By “decompensated” I mean clinical volume overload & ⬆️ filling pressures. - CI by assumed Fick (I know, I know), and BSA/BMI not extreme.

You see a patient with known HFrEF now decompensated. Exam suggests low output. RHC shows CI 1.8. Perfusion markers (lactate, creatinine, LFTs) are normal. What do you call this condition? @MKIttlesonMD @SrihariNaiduMD @NavinKapur4 @SVRaoMD @AndrewJSauer

NNT to prevent 1 death from any cause Aspirin for secondary prevention: 333 Spironolactone for HFrEF: 9 If discharging a CAD patient without aspirin sounds crazy, then what does that say about discharging a HFrEF patient without an MRA?

@DavidLBrownMD @cardiojaydoc02 @DrMarthaGulati Part 2: Same pt but presents before starting diuretics. Mild DOE (NYHA 2) and mild edema. Does dyspnea count as anginal equivalent? And if you do find 3vD, now is she now indicated for CABG? If you changed your answer, why?

~70F in office for new HFpEF (LVEF 60%). Symptoms controlled on low-dose loop. Coronary CTA shows multi-vessel obstructive CAD. No angina. No diabetes. Is this patient indicated for CABG? @cardiojaydoc02 @DrMarthaGulati #cardioed #meded
