New study shows community-based clinicians prefer CT over VQ to evaluate for possible pulmonary embolism in pregnancy even though rates of CT indeterminacy were high and follow-up imaging within 48 hrs of indeterminate results was uncommon @KPDOR onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

All KPNC emergency departments can now access STRIDE-HF.
This risk tool helps physicians identify which heart failure patients are at low risk and may be safely treated outside the hospital — and which require admission. @KPDOR

Cold drinks may trigger AFib—dubbed ‘Cold Drink Heart.’ In a first-of-a-kind survey study, 100 respondents reported the link. Most said doctors dismissed it, despite many finding relief with cold drink avoidance. @KPDOR #AFib #ColdDrinkHeart
