Before Russia After Russia

Last night Russia attacked a European capital with ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones. Today the story barely registers in international news headlines. Western normalization and acceptance of Russian atrocities in Ukraine is what makes them possible.

This meta-analysis shows consistent sex differences in VO₂, CO, and a-vO₂Diff in 3 invasive and 2 non-invasive studies Females with #HFpEF suffer a ‘double-hit’: impaired CO augmentation and reduced O₂ extraction. goo.gl/scholar/W2NhFu #ScholarAlerts Rachel Skow, PhD

Contractility cannot be measured by cardial imaging; all imaging measures shortening (=volume reduction), which is load dependent. Myocardial contraction is not shortening, during systole there is both contraction without shortening, and shortening without contraction.

Be like Lithuania.

This score will help distinguish severe from mild ICI-myocarditis. Many clinical implications‼️ In my opinion, this is one of the most clinically relevant papers on this topic to date. DrJE-Salem European Society of Cardiology Journals academic.oup.com/eurheartj/adva…

Very informative presentation by DrJE-Salem ⚠️ don't hurry up with antiarrhythmic therapy in ICI induced severe arrythmias and be aware of increased risk for developing of high grade conduction disorders #ESCardioOnc2025 #cardiooncology

Congratulations to Steve Foulkes for winning the YIA of #ESCardioOnco2025! #ExertTheBreathless breast cancer survivors to detect HFpEF❗️ But the question remains - is it a result of previous cancer treatment or a by-stander due to shared risk factors❓ #cardiooncology #CPET

🧵1/ Half of patients with exertional dyspnea due to HFpEF are missed by current diagnostic algorithms (H2FPEF, HFA-PEFF) ( Yogesh Reddy et al) Our multicenter study (n=2,452) in @JASEcho identifies a crucial missing link: 👉 the mPAP/CO slope

📢 New paper out in JASE on #CPETecho in #CHD, led by Aleksandra Cieplucha ✅ CPETecho with PVP is feasible in Fontan patients 👉 A steeper PVP/CO slope is associated with worse clinical status, including lower exercise capacity. 📎 authors.elsevier.com/c/1lKMt3BS3ser…

Nine uncomfortable facts about Global longitudinal left ventricular strain.

“Ukraine is the David standing up to Goliath. The whole world must be their slingshot.” - Bono, U2 frontman

Prescribing aerobic #exercise to healthy people and #patients with heart disease or elevated risk: stepping away from using % of peak effort (%HRpeak, etc) but going for a threshold-based approach (ventilatory thresholds): far more precise and effective link.springer.com/article/10.100…

OPINION: Vladimir Putin is spending millions of dollars bombarding European voters with manipulative social media and disinformation campaigns on a mass scale. It’s a new type of warfare on democracy that eliminates the need to roll tanks into capitals. ow.ly/mBlu50WiPRx
