    It can be difficult to discern high quality observational studies from the rest. But it is critical that we try. Sharing some of the things I've learned here: Bringing the Credibility Revolution to Observational Research in Cardiology | Circulation

    BREAKING NEWS!!! In the first ever randomized clinical trial, we demonstrated that parachutes did NOT prevent death or major injury compared to control in individuals jumping from aircraft. Published today in @bmj_latest: bmj.com/content/363/bm… #PARACHUTETrial #XmasBMJ

    KFC has announced that it will be testing a new combination of fried chicken and glazed doughnuts. The new items will be sold for a limited time, and aren't nationally available just yet: only in Pittsburgh and two Virginia cities — Norfolk and Richmond. cnn.it/30pMmJJ

    Sorrry for the unkind take but if you are dabbling in clinical research by publishing flawed observational studies, you are doing no favors for people devoting their careers to doing observational studies the right way. It hurts the credibility of the whole field.

    Astonishing results from the DanGer Shock Trial presented at #ACC24 and out in @NEJM today. In patients with ST-elevation MI with cardiogenic shock, Impella reduced all-cause mortality (45.8% Impella vs. 58.5% control) at 180 days. Some thoughts on this ground breaking trial:

    1/Lot's of angst about #ISCHEMIA and what it will mean for cardiology practice. For me, a positive trial is likely to mean more for changing my practice than a negative one. I'll try to explain (Thread). #AHA19

    I am seriously amazed by the number of different sizes and styles of envelopes that the AMA uses to try to coerce me to pay membership dues. Their stationary budget must be astronomical.

    More stunning results published in NEJM. ISAR REACT 5. Prasugrel vs ticagrelor for ACS: Prasugrel reduces death/MI/stroke at 1 year. No difference in bleeding. Wow. #ESCcongress2019

    Strange mix of emotions: - Helplessness/guilt watching NYC (and friends) struggle - Grateful to feel safe with family at the moment - Frustrated by the mundane but real challenges of pseudo-homeschooling kids - Terrified/energized, as the prospect of getting redeployed looms.
