Important reminder 🚨 Don’t assume unilateral pulmonary edema is non-cardiogenic. Mitral regurgitation can cause unilateral edema depending on the jet direction. #POCUS #FOAMed #Nephpearls

Despite LDL being more abundant, Lp(a) is ~6x more atherogenic per particle. 🧬 Mendelian randomisation of UK Biobank data shows per 50 nmol/L increase in apoB: 🔹 From Lp(a): OR of CHD = 1.28 🔹 From LDL: OR of CHD = 1.04 One apoB per particle—yet vastly different risk

In echocardiography: "Perhaps measurements from leading edge to leading edge are more accurate than from inner edge to inner edge.” Life is a beautiful choice 🌻 #Echo #EchoFirst #CMR

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is a heterogeneous entity including different phenotypes of near normal, normal, & supernormal LV function. We assessed the value of resting LV elastance using TTE to identify HFpEF phenotypes. bit.ly/4kLUJc4 JASE
