And properly evaluate that promising subgroup in follow-up prospective RCT #COMETHF n=1,800 OM vs PBO in chronic HF w severely reduced LVEF clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT… Powered for CVd, HF event, LVAD transplant,or stroke Isn’t that how evidence-based medicine is supposed to work?
Classic. When the main trial results disappoint, proponents look to subgroups. Voila. Look at enough and you find positive results. Like post MI ASA effect turning on astrological sign in ISIS 2.

A true legend. Hugely influential on the careers of so many
Today is the 16th Anniversary of the passing of a ⁦@hopkinsheart⁩ & ⁦@BrighamWomens⁩ 🫀leader & legendary figure Dr. Ken Baughman. Many of us consider him to be pivotal in our career paths. We miss KLB greatly.

Whether you're a primary care doc, hospitalist, NP, PA, pharmacist, or general cardiologist—you play a role in optimizing heart failure care. HFSA’s OMT-HF Certificate Program equips you with practical skills to deliver GDMT with confidence. As one study showed: clinicians across disciplines felt more competent and comfortable after completing the course.
