Formerly known as @JJHeart_Doc on the "bird" app. Professor of Medicine, Harvard; Cardiologist, MGH; Chief Scientific Officer, Baim Institute; Team MD for the Boston Red Sox. I used to be disgusted. Now I try to be amused.
I don't post much anymore, but I felt it worth reminding our colleagues that "follow up with your cardiologist ASAP" is not a guideline supported move nor a therapeutic intervention for someone discharged with ongoing new onset atrial flutter with RVR on a Friday afternoon. #cardiosky
Selective in vitro enhancement of cardiac myosin motor function and myofilament force generation by danicamtiv prompted clinical evaluation. A short course of danicamtiv was generally well tolerated in participants with #DCM https://bit.ly/4mE3vcM #HFSA2025 #JACC #cvGenetics @jimjanuzzi.bsky.social

The Short and Sweet on Sodium–Glucose Cotransporter Inhibitors and Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists in Heart Failure
Heart failure (HF) affects 6 million people in the US, and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a significant risk factor for HF. Since 2008, regulatory agencies have required cardiovascular safety trials

Really interesting data about how BAG3 variants modify cardiomyopathy risk.
A coding variant in BAG3 protects against dilated cardiomyopathy but increases risk for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and is found to modify the effects of pathogenic TTN variants jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
Older news but still noteworthy. Among patients with HFrEF and HFpEF, withdrawal of SGLT2i led to increased CV death, HF symptoms, fasting glucose, BP, BNP and decreased Hb. Events occurred within 30 days of withdrawal. Are we sure that's what we want to do preop? www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...
