Excellent session- What Should We Tell Our Patients to Eat?
🟣 ⏱️restricted eating for weight loss and improved CV health
🟣 Cardiologists can and should do nutritional counseling
🟣 Counsel patients on working on one thing at a time for long term 🔺

You know what fall brings along with shorter days and beautiful leaves? The Medicare Part D 'donut hole.' Fall is when we switch DOACs to warfarin, ARNI to ACEi/ ARB and stop SGLT2i because many patients can no longer afford their meds. #GDMTworks only if patients can afford it.

Thank you @JAMA_current for highlighting this important healthcare issue. Reproductive care access is not a problem to be relegated to our OB/GYN colleagues but falls upon all in medicine - the implications are far reaching. #Cardioobstetrics #ItTakesAVillage #teamwork

Both of these statements say a lot about what we prioritize in the U.S.:
The U.S. is the only wealthy nation that doesn’t guarantee new moms time off work after they have a baby.
More women die in childbirth in the U.S. than in any other wealthy country.

When you say the quiet part out loud. Just remove Black women from the count to hide your racism. 🤦🏾♂️ SMH.
