I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and hypertension?
Ok hold on. I have normal blood pressure. I should have put quotes around this statement. I am listening to the Apple presentation while working and swear that is what one of their patients said. No big deal but this event is not live and I'm surprised nobody caught it
And I am not criticizing the patient. Actually I am not criticizing anyone. I just found it amusing... kind of like how I used to find HIV virus amusing
Did anyone catch whether the new watch will be able to detect desats during sleep?
Just thinking that even rudimentary sleep apnea detection could be cool especially when paired with the atrial fib detection that exists already
Touch ID is back (Wonder if it comes back with the new phone too)... this mask thing is a face ID trainwreck
The handwriting thing on the iPad looks cool. I do wonder if it could read mine but that 197 was pretty ugly

A story for a Friday afternoon. Spoiler, I really don't know what to do with it.

So I have this patient. He is mid-50's & healthy aside from an ACS event a few years ago for which he was stented & is on all the right 2ndry prevention things. He is also very active
He wears an Apple Watch, & a couple of years ago the watch was telling him he had Afib. Given his CAD, this was important as it would mean adding a DOAC to his regimen which of course does not come without risk.

The watch continued to trigger frequent AF alerts and we did a Zio
He kept very careful notes and the Zio was on for a week. There was no AF at all. And the events the watch was calling fib were clearly not fib

I don’t understand why people are so bothered by the fact that metabolic disease can be treated by medicines. It’s not that lifestyle solutions can’t work; they can! It’s that they don’t work for a very large number of people…
We should celebrate that more people have solutions that can work for them. Not doing so is the height of arrogance
It also seems relatively uncontroversial to acknowledge that medicines are a life-saving solution for those with hypertension who cannot control their blood pressure with lifestyle alone

Anyone else finding it increasingly difficult to tweet anything that does not feel like it is a massive cry for attention?
I am overwhelmed by my own self-consciousness here and honestly it is a new phenomenon
I find myself writing and deleting tweets almost 100% of the time

Here’s a question for @nicknorwitz & @realDaveFeldman: if I understand, your model hypothesizes that increased ApoB in lean/athletic people on low carbohydrate or ketogenic diets does not result from either 1) saturated fat or 2) genetic variation, but rather from CHO restriction
So in the spirit of n=1 case studies, I have one for you. 52 year old male cardiologist BMI 21, exercises 6 days a week, on low SFA ketogenic diet for 4+ years with ApoB ~80 mg/dl
So how do you explain this? Is it genetics? Is it environment? If so, what else besides carbs is it? Fiber?

Anyone else hearing the “Beat LA” as loudly and clearly as I am?
Wow
