Okay, itโs finished. My first #watercolour in >25 years. #AbstractHeart. Inspired by the cath lab @cardiorespLTHT. From the head, no pencilling, just water, #paint, paper & fun. Let me know if you want a #giclee copy. Actual colours are lighter than in this photo. Please R/T๐
Orthostatic tachycardia after #COVID19 by @trishgreenhalgh@bmj_latest
โabout 25% of #LongCovid patients may have dysautonomia & 2-14% will develop orthostatic tachycardia (#POTS ) 6 to 8 months after infection.โ

Do use beta blockers in COPD if clinically indicated.
