    Last night in the ICU of a #NYC hospital, I cared for 20 patients who were all on breathing machines due to #COVID19. Some REALLY young (20s), without comorbidities. Everyone is extremely sick. But sicker patients keep flooding in…

    But I have never been prouder to be a physician in #NewYorkCity. My incredible colleagues - everyone - is rising to the occasion. We are doing our best. We will get through this together.

    It is heartbreaking to have end-of-life discussions w/ family members. No part of me was prepared to convey that a family member can’t say goodbye. That their love one would have to be alone during their final moments. I cannot imagine how they feel...how painful it is...

    Hospital staff are exhausted & honestly - scared. Our healthcare system is in survival mode...

    Some of our sickest patients with #COVID19 really need dialysis, but we don’t have enough machines. We are actively rationing care - something I thought I would never see in our healthcare system...

    We are REALLY feeling the strain. We don’t have enough ICU beds. Many patients are being intubated as soon as they show up to the Emergency Room. We are doing our best to take care of them on regular floor beds and in the ER itself. But it is HARD...

    What a WHIRLWIND week it’s been in #NYC! More and more patients with #COVID19 coming in. Our emergency room has become, in part, a fully functioning ICU as inpatient ICU beds are struggling to keep up with the volume...

    Published today in @CircAHA, we show that in FOURIER-OLE, lower LDL-C levels, down to <20 mg/dL, were associated with lower adverse cardiovascular events without significant safety concerns in the long term. More reassurance to target lower! @TIMIStudyGroup

    The camaraderie has been absolutely INCREDIBLE. Nurses and doctors across all specialties (Derm, ENT, Urology, and more!) are working tirelessly together, doing everything they can to tackle this pandemic.

    So much interest in Lp(a)!! Had an awesome time presenting our study investigating Lp(a) variability among patients from the OCEAN(a)-DOSE trial CVi 10% Max abs change of 135 nmol/L Guidelines recommend testing Lp(a) once in a pt’s lifetime. Time to rethink? #AHA2023

    Many #COVID19 patients have been intubated for longer than I would have expected. But there have also been uplifting moments. Some of the patients I have cared for have been extubated and are recovering.
