In Texas, 22 children and 2 adults have become ill with measles in a community where the vaccination rate among kindergartners is only 82%. Nine have been hospitalized so far and the outbreak continues to grow. The anti-vax movement harms children. Period. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

🚨UPDATE: At least 14 people have been hospitalized in a measles outbreak in an under-vaccinated part of Texas. 24 cases so far, mainly children. Health officials worry some parents might not seek care for their kids. Dangerous & means this will keep spreading. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Can echo predict peak VO2? Combining AI and echocardiography-Intriguing concept from Dr. Uriel et al. #THT2025 #CardioSky

Interesting insights on lymphatic drainage in patients with acute decompensated heart failure. #THT2025

Exciting day 2 -“at #THT2025- use of super-saturated oxygen (SSO2) in anterior myocardial infarction- very promising results on improvement in microvascular circulation and signal for reduction in infarction size/ improvement in EF. #cardiosky #MI

Although rare, aortic valve stenosis can coexist with HCM with obstruction. We present 3 patients with concomitant AS and HCM with obstruction to highlight diagnostic challenges via echocardiography and emphasize approaches to overcoming limitations. Read our CASE report: bit.ly/3EvhVM7

#HCM hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - novel percutaneous intervention with myotomy - presented at #THT2025 #CardioSky

Percutaneous myotomy for HCM? Exciting percutaneous interventions! #THT2025

Great debate! Are we in DANGER of over-applying DANGER shock trial or should microaxial flow pumps (Impella CP) be the standard of care for anterior AMI shock and HFrEF? #THT2025 #Impella #cardiogenicshock #cardiosky

FASTR trial Reprieve system - compared to optimal medical therapy- significantly more urine output and no apparent worsening of renal function. #tht2025

Interesting concept of coronary sinus - LA shunting from ALT FLOW trial - sustained improvement in KCCQ and functional capacity out to 2 years presented by Dr. Javed Butler #THT2025

Excited to arrive at #THT2025 exploring and engaging in heart failure therapeutics … happening now… late breaker discussion of robotic heart transplant

This morning I received a personal email in response to a concern I voiced to Senator Andy Kim. I appreciate his representation and advocacy. #NJ #RepresentationMatters

HLH, a cytokine-mediated hyperinflammation syndrome, causes fever, pancytopenia, and hemophagocytosis and is often fatal. Antiinflammatory agents, etoposide, and interferon-γ antibody are the main treatments. Learn more in a new review: nej.md/40Jps19 #MedSky #Oncology

IMPORTANT READ: The NIH announced plans to slash support for indirect research costs. This will mean one of the most important sources of funding to academic institutions will be cut by 75% or more. This is a Substack by @sciencewhizliz.bsky.social about this issue with a ☎️ script for your MOC

HFSA welcomes all multidisciplinary heart failure research at #HFSA2025! Present your abstract to colleagues at the ePoster Hub, or share your findings during the moderated Oral Abstract sessions. Submit your science by March 17 - start preparing yours today! >> hfsa.org/asm/submitti...

The policy lead for CDC's H5N1 response has abruptly resigned. Sources tell me CDC's response to the bird flu pandemic has been severely hobbled by the chaos of the past two weeks.
