And just like that, my postdoctoral fellowships at @QueensRIU has come and gone. I am forever grateful for my time in Kingston working with Prof Denis O’Donnell and the rest of his great team (@Matt_DJames, Reggie Smyth, Sandra Vincent, Prof Alberto Neder).
Understanding why patients with heart failure and pulmonary hypertension ventilate excessively during exercise gives unique insights into the origins of their shortness of breath, creating a rationale for a clinically relevant therapeutic target. bit.ly/3Ldv7CR

👀it’s out! The llatest 2023 @GOLD_COPD guidance has been released...
🌟There are BIG changes this year. Here are my first thoughts… but lots to digest:
TL/DR:
1. Revised #COPD defn
2. Etiotypes
3. ABCD is out, ABE is in
4. Farewell ICS-LABA
5. New exacerbation defn

It was fantastic to get our @EuroRespSoc Taskforce on development of GLI #CPET reference values faculty together. In this modern world inability to attend #ERS2022 #ERSCongress wasn't a barrier. Really useful discussions. Lots still to do. More to come... – at Barcelona, Spain
