Small LV in HFpEF 👇
New 🇪🇸 viewpoint 🇧🇪led by @yulnunezvill with @rdelaespriella in @ESCHeartFailure

Even during exercise
📊 pathophysiology & therapeutic implications
I realize beta-blockers have not been shown beneficial in non-obstructive HCM, but, they are commonly prescribed here and in HFpEF. I like this study. It shows clearly that BB worsen exercise capacity.
BB have very selective indications. I am not sure why they are popular
New #EKG patterns in acute myocardial infarction due to thrombotic plaque rupture:
❌ STEMI / NSTEMI
✅ State of the coronary artery
Great work by @fabrizioricci@martini_chia!
Severe #MitralRegurgitation cut offs in a pinch:
1,2,3 is too easy. So remember 4,5,6,7:
✅ EROA 0.4cm2
✅Regurgitant Fraction 50%
✅Regurgitant volume 60mL
✅ Vena contracts width 0.7cm

A new "6-8-12" rule?
