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.

50 Studies Every Hospitalist Should Know is really the work of its contributors. We asked hospitalists, cardiologists, ID specialists, intensivists, and more to do something specific: not just summarize a trial, but lay out the details clinicians wish they had at hand - who was studied, what the effect sizes actually were, what the study couldn't answer, and what it means for the patient in front of you. They delivered. This book is their expertise. Grateful to @kathymaytran @Pr1yankJa1n @Michael_Hochman @tony_breu @CianPMcCarthy @criticalecho @DrToTheRescue @jasonwasfy @jillian_molli @marko_velimir @mobolacampbell @MedPOCUS @WilliamJTateMD and all of our contributing authors. @OUPAcademic amazon.com/Studies-Every-Hos…

2019-2023 saw the highest year-over-year rent growth in recent history. Research says that overall, the median renter by income saw zero growth in their real residual income. The bottom third of US renters were hit much harder. See: clefed.org/4l3rWB2

Relatively few AHFTC fellowship programs matched most applicants. Applicants prioritize markers of hospital reputation and heart transplant volumes over regional disease burden or geographical considerations. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jchf.… #HFSA2025 #JACCHF #ACCHFT @EiranGorodeski

Agree totally. But fluid restriction should be an exception and not the rule as it currently is in many places.

📢Heart failure internists (graduates of non-accredited HF fellowships) are IM physicians who undergo 1-year training focused on HF. We completed a first ever registry and survey. We identified 11 programs and >110 graduates. We're presenting these findings at #ACC25 tomorrow!!
