💁🏽♀️It’s been a while since we revisited how much our #WordsMatter in medicine 🤔- HF in particular. As we close out 2025, we make a plea to our -#FunctionNotFailure community - let’s not use the word “stable” in HF. It’s a disservice to all 🤐
👀 out our We’ve Been Thinking page @JCardFail & the 🔥 Dec issue :

I tell my patients who come see us at our Haverty Cardiometabolic Center, “the a.fib is the tip of the iceberg, and what’s below the surface is driven mostly by the metabolic disease of obesity.” - which drives the HTN, DM, inflammation, HFpEF, etc.

Among patients with #AtrialFibrillation, elevated BMI, and 1 or more additional cardiometabolic risk factors, aggressive risk factor management reduced arrhythmia recurrence over the 12-month period after catheter ablation. ja.ma/47ehz8t

Agree @AndrewJSauer. I never write for fluid restriction in awake patient. Thirst is extremely uncomfortable and forcing it is cruel, imo. Besides it doesn’t work long-term. @VorovichHeartMD @shelleyhallmd @amitalamMD @MKIttlesonMD @WilcoxHeart

I don’t ever write to restrict fluid.
Just focus on getting the meds right.

Writing order for fluid restriction also causes pts to be labeled non-compliant when they don’t adhere. The truth is they can’t adhere because it’s torture. These labels in the chart can have longstanding impact
