for highlighting the burden of CV disease in Black ppl + solutions to this disparity: only 3% of cardiologists are black!

@American_Heart
HEART MATTERS: Even though 80% of heart disease is preventable, it remains the leading cause of death in the United States, and Black Americans are twice as likely to die from the disease than White Americans. However, fewer than 3% of cardiologists are Black.

My entire lived experience contradicts everything in that racist
@JAHA_AHA
article, as does the experience of so many others. So I know it’s just a bad opinion piece passed off as "research" that shouldn't have been published. Still the damage has been done. We MUST do better.
.
@JAHA_AHA
article by
@Norman_C_Wang
does NOT represent AHA values. JAHA is editorially independent but that’s no excuse. We’ll investigate. We’ll do better. We’re invested in helping to build a diverse healthcare and research community. See how here.

Heartbroken to hear about the death of Dr. Paul Farmer. I was inspired to become a physician after I read Mountains Beyond Mountains with wide eyed optimism in college. I had the privilege of meeting him and will always remember him for his kindness, compassion, and empathy. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Partners In Health announced that its founder, Dr. Paul Farmer, unexpectedly passed away today in his sleep while in Rwanda.
Dr. Farmer was 62 years old. He is survived by his wife, Didi Bertrand Farmer, and their three children.

Have you heard of left digit bias? I hadn’t! It’s a form of cognitive bias where we are influenced by the left most digit of numbers and it may affect our decision making in medicine. Loved learning and chatting about it on
@bapupod
@AnupamBJena
When deciding a course of action for a heart attack patient, “age does play a role. Kidney function plays a role. Hemoglobin, the blood count plays a role,” explains cardiologist
@BryanSmithMD
. “Left-digit bias affects how we think about all of these.”
