1/ Remember : the vast majority of patients in PARADIGM-HF reported NYHA Class II symptoms, tolerating background GDMT and virtually all had SBP > 100 mmHg at randomization. So basically “the patient is stable” is the IDEAL patient for ARNI.
Proven strategy to reduce spending impulse because you immediately feel the pain of reducing bank account. Credit spends don’t have same impact as deterrent.
Every season I go through all my clothes and shoes and force myself to get rid of one garbage bag sized pile of clothes/shoes. For me the size is a kitchen garbage bag, for others it may be more or less.
My top ten tips for graduating fellows and faculty entering and continuing “early career” as I am transitioning into “mid-career”. A thread:
1. Decide what you will be known for and why. Believe in extreme ownership. Don’t expect all to agree. The goal is not to be liked but to be respected for being authentically you. They will know then your name. And that matters.
2. Identify mentors who believe in you and support where you are trying to go. Mentors plural. Life coaches. Content experts. Early career and post retirement. Vocational. Best ones blow up your ideas to make them better and hold you accountable to your purpose and your family.

1. Don’t immediately get into big debt. Don’t lease or buy a new car. Don’t buy a house on 100% financing. Don’t pay the minimum on credit cards. It’s foolish, and ultimately cliche. And unbecoming. And did I say foolish?
2. Find your why. Google the @simonsinek@TEDTalks. People don’t care about what you do or how you do it. Neither are inspiring. What is inspiring? Why you do it. That’s what people get excited about.
