Most viewed JAMA Cardiology article: In this study, results showed that in patients with HFpEF and chronotropic incompetence, β-blocker cessation may be particularly beneficial in patients with smaller end-systolic left ventricular volume. ja.ma/3I2IruQ

The magic world of “publish or perish”: We live in interesting times…

Coming shortly, 𝕏 will publish everything demanded by @Alexandre and how those requests violate Brazilian law. This judge has brazenly and repeatedly betrayed the constitution and people of Brazil. He should resign or be impeached. Shame @Alexandre, shame.

I don't say this lightly - but the floods in Porto Alegre, Brazil, are looking comparable to what Katrina did to New Orleans in 2005 -- massive evacuations, water & power outages, key infrastructure damaged, parts of city unlivable, possible long-term consequences

Very proud of our group! Best original study award in the SBHCI 2024 meeting. We assessed the impact of a complete POCUS protocol in STEMI patients and our findings have the potential to change the paradigm of care in these patients Guilherme Teló Anderson Donelli da Silveira

Just published now! POCUS assessment in STEMI patients with a novel prognostic classification. LUV classification -> (LUS + LVOT VTI) is a better predictor of in-hospital mortality than isolated LUS assessment and killip classification. Thx Alex Truesdell for you invaluable help!

Proud of our research group with the publication of the LUV protocol, a new POCUS tool for patients with AMI combining LUS e LVOT-VTI.

New POCUS protocol named LUV for STEMI patients! LUS + VTI as a useful, easy, and applicable tool in clinical practice. Excellent prognostic accuracy 🎯

Proud of our cardiac POCUS research group, with two presentations at the ESC Congress 2024.

This is a really important paper. STEMI vs Non-STEMI thinking needs to go. It's "occlusion MI" Here is the thing though: almost all of the occlusion MI NSTEMI's can be seen on the ECG--if people could read ECGs properly Table 2 examples seem so obvious to me. Not because I am

Excellent critique of the recent SUMMIT trial in Sensible Medicine by John Mandrola, MD today. Seeing more dubious endpoints being used in cardiology trials in recent years. This trend will weaken the evidence base for cardiology practice and diminish standing in the #EBM world. Do patients

First registry of TAVI in patients treated exclusively by the Brazilian Public Health System (SUS). An important data now that the procedure is being incorporated into SUS. journals.lww.com/critpathcardio…

🚨 Just published! The LUV classification (LVOT-VTI + lung ultrasound) outperformed other ultrasound protocols in predicting in-hospital mortality and cardiogenic shock within 24h in STEMI patients link.springer.com/article/10.100…

📢¡¡¡Por fin un limite de Strain con valor pronóstico en "normales"!!! 📍Meta-análisis con 23,208 adultos confirma que el límite inferior normal del SGL es 16%. 📍Este valor puede tener relevancia pronóstica en pacientes asintomáticos con FEVI preservada
