Will Term Limits Fix Academic Medicine’s Diversity Problem?
The NIH has announced a plan to enforce 12-year term limits for tenured laboratory and branch chiefs; however, such a limit has yet to be enacted in academic medicine.
AHA/ACC Guideline on Performance and Quality Measures for Hypertension
The American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology (AHA/ACC) Task Force on Performance Measures released a guideline on clinical performance and quality measures for care of adult patients with hypertension.
Cardiac MRI Metrics Help Stratify Mortality Risk in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
In patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging metrics are capable of identifying individuals at a low risk for 1-year mortality.
Baseline Hemodynamic Variables Predictive of Survival in PAH
Clinical experts in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) identified certain hemodynamic variables as predictive of patient survival that were different from variables found in major clinical trials.
Macitentan and Tadalafil Combination Improves PVR in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Combination therapy consisting of once-daily macitentan and tadalafil was associated with reductions in pulmonary vascular resistance in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Hidradenitis Suppurativa Carries Heavy Cardiovascular Comorbidity Burden
There is a substantial burden, unawareness, and undertreatment of several systemic comorbidities—particularly cardiovascular and psychiatric—in patients with HS.
OSA Increases CKD Risk in Recovered Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema
Obstructive sleep apnea increases the risk for chronic kidney disease in patients who have recovered from an episode of acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema.
Selexipag Maintains, Improves WHO Functional Class in PAH
Twice-daily selexipag was associated with improvements in 6-minute walk distance and potential maintenance or improvement in World Health Organization functional class in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Automated Machine Learning Precisely Measures Cardiac Structural Changes on CMR
Although the precision of automated machine learning (AML) for analysis of cardiac structures matches that of expert clinicians and medical trainees, AML systems are >100 times faster in measuring changes in left ventricular ejection fraction in several cardiovascular disease states.
