    IntroductionLeft ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) detection techniques on by electrocardiogram (ECG) are cumbersome to remember with modest performance. This study validated a rapid technique for LVH detection and measured its performance against other techniques.MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of patients at Stanford Health Care who received ECGs and resting transthoracic echocardiograms (TTE) from 2006 through 2018. The novel technique, Witteles-Somani (WS), assesses for S- and R-wave overlap on adjacent precordial leads. The WS, Sokolow-Lyon, Cornell, and Peguero-Lo Presti techniques were algorithmically implemented on ECGs. Classification metrics, receiver-operator curves, and Pearson correlations measured performance. Age- and sex-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models evaluated associations between incident cardiovascular outcomes and each technique.ResultsA total of 53,333 ECG-TTE pairs from 18,873 patients were identified. Of all ECG-TTE pairs, 21,638 (40.6%) had TTE

    • (2/2) Sulaiman took a joke I routinely made during @StanfordDeptMed #CCU rounds about the “Witteles criteria” for detecting LVH and actually rigorously tested and proved it. INCREDIBLE! For those interested, just published here: https://t.co/JeyjzUvgI5

    This qualitative study evaluates user-generated, publicly available posts and comments about statin-related topics: ketogenic diets, diabetes, and supplements; statin adverse effects; statin hesitancy; clinical trial appraisals; pharmaceutical industry bias; and red yeast rice.

    The concerns range from low levels of evidence for some recommendations to issues of implementation and overreach.

    IntroductionIt is difficult to assign a precise date to the birth of the field of cardio-oncology. Although cardiac effects of anthracyclines have been known for decades, the field as we now know it truly emerged in the early to mid-2000s, largely in response to recognized cardiac toxicities from trastuzumab and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors. Since that time, the field has…
