More @HFpEF pearls #MacHF @aayshacader @rachkataria @DrRajivsankar @hvanspall
33% of HFpEF patients have a “low-BNP syndrome”due to excess of epicardial adipose tissue. Thus, do not use BNP to rule out HFpEF!!

Sean Virani on the new Canadian guidelines for HFrEF (<40%)
Foundational, upfront, first-step quadruple therapy!!! ARNI+BB+flozins+MRA

More tips about transitional care by @hvanspall #MacHF @rachkataria @DrRajivsankar @aayshacader
The simple LE (or the new LENT) index assesses risk of readmission
