Why would access to journal articles matter? It’s a separate workspace in your current ChatGPT. It’s actually amazing

If your "metabolic health coach" is using the words "mogs," run away. Statins rule.

Vitamin K (K1, K2 both MK4/MK7) with adequate micronutrient/mineral intake and full spectrum sunlight absolutely mogs statins. I have clients that reversed aortic stenosis and improved CAC scores after decades of statin therapy

Other than yellow fever, which is transmitted by mosquitoes and not human-to-human, these are all bacterial infections. Now do viruses. You can't honestly downplay the importance of vaccines in the safe lives we get to lead today.

Don't understand the point of this terminology, really. Real question with an ECG is "To the cath lab now or not?" And the answer here is a resounding yes. Yesterday.

Hmmmmm, what could the difference possibly be between a patient under 60 who gets a TAVR vs a SAVR? Couldn't be that they're sicker! Naaaaaaaah. But we adjusted ... blah blah blah. Surgeons thinking like surgeons here.

Over 50% of patients under 60 in California are getting TAVR. This is absurd! Huge shoutout to @JoChikweMD and team for exposing the alarming truth: TAVR has a 250% higher risk of death in 5 years compared to SAVR. annalsthoracicsurgery.org/ar…

I know the RCT evidence, but there is not a cardiologist on earth who is telling their 47yo brother to leave this alone and treat with meds. Can definitely have a reasonable discussion about the best method of revascularization, but that's it. Unless you hate your brother.

We just performed the first aortic valve repair at the MGH using the HAART rigid annuloplasty ring for a young man with a forme fruste bicuspid valve with “swiss cheese” leaflets. Thanks to these master surgeons, Drs. Sundt and Rankin for being there to support this endeavor.
