Extraordinary slide from Milton Packer's wonderful lecture 🤯 What a time to be a #HeartFailure specialist... we just need a lot more of us (doctors, nurses and AHPs) to deliver all the therapies at our disposal. #GDMTworks #BSH2021 #BSHAM2021

Hate switching to a new set of trust values. I think I have to stop being nurturing and start being compassionate. And switch from being honest to being trustworthy. Something like that, it's not like these are vapid meaningless buzzwords after all.

Yearly reminder NHS mandatory training should include a section and a quiz about the difference between REPLY and REPLY ALL


TAVI is obviously the correct option. It also helps to distinguish from tAVR (= tissue AVR).

What it is the right expression: TAVI or TAVR? It is clearly TAVI = transcatheter aortic valve implantation, transcatheter aortic valve replacement is the wrong word, the native valve remains, is not replaced as in SAVR, it is squeezed between the valve and the aortic wall.

QFR is surrogate of a surrogate (FFR) of a surrogate (Ischemia) which itself is a surrogate (for atheroma burden). So it turns out that perpetual surrogacy is perpetually inferior. #TCT2024

Ouch, QFR. In the FAVOR III Europe trial, it loses out against FFR for PCI guidance. For those who enjoy statistical tortures, QFR didn’t just fail to show noninferiority; it was actually inferior. More stents, more myocardial infarctions. Who will give me back the hours I spent…

Dispiriting events at Reading should concern everyone in English football. Fans are lied to, players and an impressive manager are let down, and so are staff. A thoughtless, heartless owner damages a historic club. It’s another warning to all in football. If we tolerate this,…

What a day! I am so incredibly proud to see the #OPTPACE manuscript in the flesh! This study began my #clinicalacademic career; and has directly led to my work with the combined heart failure and device service @LeedsHospitals @cardiorespLTHT and @NIHRresearch

Clip from 1967 magazine describing the state of health care in the UK 🇬🇧. Note how similar the struggles were to the current ones we read about online today. (see next page for the same thing - but describing the US 🇺🇸). (1/2)

What if I told you that there was a heart failure treatment that reduces heart failure hospitalisations, improves QOL and doesn't risk hyperkalemia. #ESC2024 #finerone #FINEARTS_HF

Congrats to Rob Couhig and also well done to all those #ReadingFC fans like @SellBeforeWeDai @STARReading @TheTilehurstEnd + others who fought so hard for their Club. Also important voices like @james_e1871, sponsors who care in @SC_Leasing and a good coach in Ruben Selles👏

"If someone has a Y chromosome, they're a man!!!" My dudes, if you karyotype tested every female athlete currently competing at the Olympics, you'd surprise a fair number of them with news they were "men" (by your definition).

Obsessed with Hank Azaria doing the voices of Moe, Chief Wiggum, etc, in an attempt to make this soldier crack. I don’t think I’d last a microsecond.
