From the UK Biobank HF 📌HF incidence: 3.6/1,000 🕺 vs. 1.72/1,000 💃 (P<0.001). 📌Strongest risk factors: MI in 🕺 (HR: 2.61), #AFib in 💃 (HR: 4.10). 📌#HTN & obesity contributed most to HF risk: HTN (25% men, 29% women), obesity (16% 🕺, 21% 💃). www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/... @jaccjournals.bsky.social

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

New platform, re-sharing our recent sex differences in cardiogenic shock SRMA: -Women are ⬆️ likely to die than men (35% unadjusted, 10% adjusted for comorbidities) -Women ⬇️ less likely to recieve mechanical support Urgent need to understand these differences & enroll more women in CS RCTs!

I got tired of opening a dozen PDFs to find the ECMO pressure/flow curve I need. So I made an app! Choose the cannula/size and you can see the max flow for a given pressure drop. Or compare multiple different cannula. Lmk what ya’ll think. Useful? What’s it need? onepagericu.com/ecmo-calcula...

Published in JAMA with #CCRdownunder: In critically ill adults with suspected sepsis, antibiotic regimens were safely reduced when guided by measurement of procalcitonin but not by C-reactive protein. @criticalcarereviews.com ja.ma/3BovM5v

Among critically ill adults who received invasive mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hrs, screening frequency (once-daily vs more frequent screening) & SBT technique (pressure-supported vs T-piece SBT) did not change the time to successful extubation. ja.ma/3OEeAMu

Happy to share our work developing a method for matching heart transplant donors-to-recipients using echo-derived donor left ventricular mass (LVM) for size matching which improved outcomes (especially in obese patients). www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/... #JACCHF #echofirst #Cardiosky #Echosky #Medsky
