1/ In this #OriginalResearch paper in @ahajournals.bsky.social, Bellamo et al evaluate Lp(a) as a prognostic marker for incident and secondary vascular disease in participants from the UK Biobank Here's a🧵summarizing key aspects of paper 🔗http://bit.ly/3HkLhP6 Let’s unpack the findings ⤵️

🚨 New @CircAHA #ESC2025 SimPub alert! 🚨 HCM isn’t just driven by rare Mendelian mutations. This study highlights the role of intermediate-effect variants (IEVs)—variants with moderate effect & low penetrance—in shaping disease expression. #HCM #SoMeEditor tinyurl.com/HCM-IEVs

1/ Should you be concerned about lead in your protein powder? Consumer Reports found elevated levels in several popular brands, causing influencers to spread the results of the report. So we asked Megan, an RN and our nutrition contributor for YLE, to break it down. Here’s what you need to know 👇

Thankful for the opportunity to visit Nara Women University with @hkkimphd.bsky.social to observe laboratory of Prof Miki and Yoshimoto who are pioneer in measurements of conscious renal and lumbar SNA recording. Never have my seminar brochure translated into Japanese before 😀 @utswim.bsky.social

great HTN JC discussion today on BAXHTN study by Dr. Shawna Nesbitt joined by @dramitkhera.bsky.social @giaconajohn.bsky.social @utswim.bsky.social Interesting that baseline aldosterone in the trial was around 7.5 ng/dL by LCMS with baseline PRA is 1 ng/mlhr. This means that majority of pts have PA

🏆 First time at Epic Cosmos Datathon—our team took 1st place! Grateful for the collaboration and hands on experience ! @drwanpen.bsky.social Excited to present tomorrow (Oct 3) at Pegasus Park Symposium on “Missed Opportunities: Screening for Primary Aldosteronism” #EpicCosmos #HTN

Comparing Management strategies for Primary Aldosteronism: Is it 🍎 versus 🍊 ? Commentary academic.oup.com/ajh/article-... based on academic.oup.com/ajh/article-... #Hypertension #Aldosteronism

Enough is enough: RETREAT-FRAIL www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.... OPTIMISE www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... DANTON academic.oup.com/ageing/artic... No mortality benefit (and potentially harm) from antihypertensive deprescription among frail older adults. Meta-analyze that!

Such a great opportunity, to be involved in an editorial on the most recent evidence for Subclinical Primary Aldosteronism. Thank you to @drwanpen.bsky.social @giaconajohn.bsky.social Go check it out!! www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...

Our new study that links high Phosphate diet found in processed food and anxiety behavior and alternation of genes involved in mood regulation in mice. That may explain why we don't feel good after a whopper or a big Mac @hkkimphd.bsky.social @utswim.bsky.social sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Some information (still not primary data, more like marketing speak) about the Apple Hypertension detection. >2,000 adults wore the watch ~12 hours/day for a month and took BID cuff BP; The watch was “as accurate as the cuff” for detecting signs of HTN what ever that is time.com/7316725/appl...

great HTN journal club discussing GWAS in primary aldosteronism by @jdmosley-moses.bsky.social @giaconajohn.bsky.social www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...

Inspiring talk by Dr Tom Frieden former director of CDC on the challenges in implementing public health policy emphasizing “Simplification is the ultimate sophistication” and humility in communication to key to success @utswim.bsky.social

Try to find a good reference that describe incidence of impotency related to spironolactone and stumble into this classic article from 1972 by Dr. Carey&Liddle. 3/24 men (12.5%) with low renin HTN had impotency with 400mg/d of aldactone 6wks. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/5082464/ @hswapnil.medsky.social

Remember all the cardiologists whining about Atrial fibrillation with the Apple Watch? I am sure it has lead to many unnecessary referrals - but also possibly some saves. Surely they didn’t have tsunami of inappropriate referrals right?

@tbplante.bsky.social It drew a lot of audience engagement - great session for the last day!!!

Nonadherence is common, especially among those prescribed multiple medications. @ahascience.bsky.social

Great abstract by Sahoo showing device required XL cuff is found in 8 million US adults but unfortunately it cost 25% more diameter should be measured midway between acromion and olecranon at arm 90% angle with palm up Jennifer Cluett @spjuraschek.bsky.social Tammy Brady

Brillian undergraduate, Sumit Sahoo, presents on disparities in BP device pricing for individuals with larger arm circumference @ahascience.bsky.social

Great debate on how to measure accurately vs efficiently by Phil Levy vs Tim Plante #Hypertension25 @spjuraschek.bsky.social

So much fun AHA #Hypertension25 gala dinner learning history of HTN from Bill Cushman and visiting with friends @anastasiasmihaili.bsky.social @giaconajohn.bsky.social @spjuraschek.bsky.social

@giaconajohn.bsky.social excellent talk highlights that intensive lowering of BP leads to lower not higher risk of OH based on metaanalysis of RCT by @spjuraschek.bsky.social #Hypertension25 Rx should be titrated to seated BP in OH as per 2025 high BP guidelines

Hypertension treatment improves cerebral blood flow @ahascience.bsky.social

Great dinner celebrating #Hypertension25 together near harbor with UTSW group Angie Price @giaconajohn.bsky.social @robynwei.bsky.social @jesslin23.bsky.social and Mu Huang
