- Grateful does not begin to describe the depth of my feelings for all the well wishes and support so many have expressed for my new role @American_Heart It is a challenging time, but with friends and colleagues like you all we will persevere! @NMHheartdoc @HeartBobH @NancyatHeart
- Thanks to all for kind comments! This has been such an incredible ride. Over 15 years we have grown x3 in faculty, x4 in grant $, and trained extraordinary nextgen leaders, and raised the impact of health promotion and prevention across the life course.
- Unfortunately this piece in @JAMAInternalMed is misinformed, cites out of date and incorrect info, and completely misleads patients about the utility of CAC. It can be our most helpful prevention decision tool when used appropriately. Get the facts right!
- Last @American_Heart board week as president. This extraordinary organization is more impactful than ever in science, clinical care, advocacy, and public health! Bright future in #healthequity under the amazing Dr Michelle Albert @NancyatHeart
- Had the opportunity today to testify before the House Health Subcommittee on bipartisan bills that will increase access to cardiac rehab, and increase research on MVP and raise awareness of VHD and risks of sudden death. @AmHeartAdvocacy @American_Heart
- Donating platelets today to hep out a little bit. Please consider donating whole blood, double red cells, platelets, or convalescent plasma. Everything will help right now.
- Come on Rita. Still banging this tired drum? If you need to see total mortality benefit in a single trial it’s time for YOU to step up and get such a well powered trial funded. Otherwise you’ve got nothing to say.Many millions have taken statins > 40 yrs and costing $$ trillions. Yet, there still is no randomized trial showing that healthy people live longer or feel better with statins, and many suffer from taking them. Time for an RCT, we cannot afford NOT to have high quality evidence.
