We are just getting started
💊 Quadruple GDMT for HFrEF now costs <$1/day 🤯 
$25.21/month for all 4 drugs generic via Cost Plus Drugs 💰 Net savings per patient/year: 
🏥 $9,477 vs 2-drug therapy (32× offset) 
🚑 $23,470 vs no GDMT (78× offset) More than pays for itself🫀 Implement now!

We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics. The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra. The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.

Alex, I’ll take ‘Things That Never Happened’ for $500.
This cardiologist in Texas made $2,025,000 last year. • $1,900,000 base • $125,000 bonus • 37-hour workweek • 4/5 job satisfaction Hospital employed. 12 years out. That's $1,052/hour, and not a single paid day off. Would you take this deal?

I have to say, this is pretty wild. The CEO and financial stakeholders of a company that stands to benefit from replacing physicians with AI publish a Perspective in @JAMA_current arguing for that technology, then take to social media to promote it and tag @CMSGov?
Game mostly over for human doctors vs. AI? @ZekeEmanuel @AbeBakerButler @nealkhosla and I just published in @JAMA_current: AI-alone may provide better patient care than physicians or physician-controlled hybrids at 5 fundamental cognitive medical tasks is unsettling but seems probable. Even when AI alone is superior, significant barriers to implementation remain. Nonetheless, superior autonomous AI will likely be ready to be deployed for real-world cognitive medical tasks in some, maybe many, workflows by 2030. Consequently, physicians, policymakers, and others need to urgently devise approaches to workflow, liability, regulation, reimbursement, and medical education. @DrOz @1klomp time for @CMSGov @CMSinnovates to take note: Will Autonomous AI Exceed AI-Aided Physicians as the Best Medical Care? jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Love this! We should consider getting of the term LV Non-compaction.
Is Left ventricular hypertrabeculation a distinct entity that requires specific therapeutic management? 🤔 Check our latest study published @CircAHA . 1160 DCM with CMR & 🧬 from 22 🇪🇸/🇳🇱🏥 Amazing work by @NereMA and Noemí Ramos. Congrats! 🎉🎊 See🧵👇🏻 ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/…

🔥 Is left ventricular hypertrabeculation really a risk marker in dilated cardiomyopathy - or have we been overdiagnosing and overtreating an imaging finding? 🚨 We are thrilled to share our study, now published in @CircAHA !

Caristo’s CaRi-Heart® debuts in the U.S.! A landmark moment for #cardiovascularcare — and a major win for science, clinicians, and patients! 🎉CaRi-Heart has received U.S. FDA De Novo authorization, becoming the first and only technology authorized in the U.S. to detect and quantify coronary inflammation from routine coronary CT angiography (CCTA). This milestone reflects more than a decade of pioneering science, relentless work, and shared belief in a future where cardiovascular disease can be detected earlier, treated more personally, and patients can live longer, healthier lives.

Terrible take
AI is already a better doctor than 99.99% of human doctors. This is good news.

Unexpected AY 2027–2028 fellowship opening: Advanced Cardiovascular Imaging Program at the University of Colorado. Highlights include ~1,500 CMRs/year, ~5,500 cardiac CTs/year, dedicated cardiac technologists, and a collaborative environment between cardiology and chest rads.

Well, I like the references from reputable journals that I get with @openevidence and the CME @UpToDate gives.
For medical information, general AI frontier models (Google, OpenAI, Anthropic) outperformed specialized @openevidence and @UpToDate as assessed by 12 US clinicians, randomized and blinded to which model and extensive testing/benchmarks. This was not anticipated. @NatureMedicine nature.com/articles/s41591-0…

@ShivdevRao: Clinician attention pulled away from patients by “competing priorities” and “boxes to check.” Four in 10 clinicians burning out. A third thinking about leaving the profession. Clinicians are "stitching together workflows" that involve providers, payers, and life sciences.
