This work is close to my heart ❤️
I’m grateful to join colleagues from @HFSA & @ASPCardio on the 1st joint scientific statement reframing #FunctionNotFailure care—seeing the whole person, across their entire healthspan --- NOT as fragmented problems in silos.🧘♀️
From “at-risk” to advanced HF—prevention must be woven into every stage!
Grateful to @DrMarthaGulati & 🌟colleagues for sharing this vision.

Leaving hasn't made the world a better place
It's just made it harder to learn great things from great people
Another great piece on AFib catheter ablation vs drugs in @JACCJournals
The evidence continues to grow. Still a debate?
