Need a small RCT with a digoxin strategy for acute HFrEF. It’s sometimes tough to disentangle the effects of acute digoxin loading from vasodilator titration, but anecdotally there seems to be a benefit - particularly in new onset HFrEF in “shocky” patients and chronic patients not candidates for advanced therapies (oftentimes coupled with deprescribing beta blockers) @maz_hanna
In a series of 10 low-output HFrEF patients, IV digoxin loading and vasodilator titration were associated with increased median cardiac index from 1.45 to 2.70 L/min/m² at 24 hours; all four on IV inotropes were weaned off. Time for an RCT with digoxin in low output HF. opensourcecardiology.org/doi… @maz_hanna @ChonyAlbertMD @WilsonTangMD @NutritionHF @rcstarling

I built an interactive echocardiography tutorial with Claude Code. Chapter 07: a 3D heart, the standard imaging views, the probe position, and simulated ultrasound video.

🔥Outstanding analysis and perspective by Dr. Mandeep Mehra in JACC HF on AHTC Fellowship training in US 🔥’AHFTC crisis is not a referendum on the intellectual appeal or clinical importance of HF medicine; it is a verdict on the design of fellowship and early-career proposition’ 🔥Many parallels outside AHFTC as well 🔥Early leadership concept will be challenging since it needs to consider those mid career future leaders-in-waiting in the leadership pipeline doi.org/10.1016/j.jchf.2026.… @ShashankSinhaMD @AndrewJSauer @hvanspall @HeartOTXHeartMD @iamritu @JasonKatzMD @DrMarthaGulati @dranulala

Does the flu shot protect more than your lungs? New episode of The Heart of Prevention: Dr. Keerthana Pakanati @Kpakanati3 sits down with Dr. Alison Bailey @a_l_bailey to unpack the growing link between influenza and cardiovascular disease, including what the cardiovascular analysis of FLUNITY-HD reveals about heart failure hospitalization risk. They dig into where flu vaccination might fit alongside statins and antihypertensives in the preventive cardiology toolkit, how to think about high-dose vs. standard-dose vaccination in older adults, and what evidence gaps remain.

In patients with #AFib and intermediate stroke risk, direct oral anticoagulation led to a lower risk of stroke, systemic embolism, major bleeding, or death from cardiovascular causes than no anticoagulation. Full SINGLE-AF trial results and Research Summary: nej.md/4ii61XB #ESCCongress

#ASNC2026 starting! Great to see so many old friends and connect with new ones. It’s been a monumental effort to plan this meeting with @PaulCremerMD and @roxanacampisi over the last year. Couldn’t have done it without the help of Kelly and Michelle from @MyASNC. Hope you enjoy what we’ve put together!

Reminder 🩺 New CardioCore Lecture: Hypercortisolism — Recognizing a Hidden Driver of Cardiovascular Risk Wednesday, August 26, 2026 | 6:00–7:00 PM EDT Some patients keep facing hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and accelerated CV disease despite optimal risk factor management. Hypercortisolism may be an underrecognized, treatable cause. Join Dr. Jorge Plutzky @jplutzkymd (Director, Preventive Cardiology, Brigham and Women's Hospital) as he covers the pathophysiology, clinical features, and cardiovascular consequences of hypercortisolism — plus when to suspect it, how to screen, and referral pathways. Moderated by Dr. Charles German @DrGermanMD (Georgetown University).

📉⚡ Early + complete GDMT = best outcomes The four pillars work fast 🚀 and work best together 🛡️ Simultaneous/rapid sequencing to all four components of quadruple GDMT at 🎯 doses (as well tolerated) should be the standard of care for all ❤️‍🩹 #GDMT #HeartFailure nitter.cf/gcfmd/status/209190524…
