Midmark IQvitals recall on Linear Deflation, half my HTN patients are titrated on cuff readings like that. Worth a manual recheck if yours is affected.

Abbott's heart failure monitor just got smarter. My stethoscope is older than some of my patients and still works just fine.

#Cardiology #PointOfCare #Diagnostics

fella new drug-eluting balloon cleared by FDA. Fine. Out here, I'm still trying to get a STEMI to a cath lab in under 90 minutes. Different universe.

#PointOfCare #Cardiology #ECG

a biosensor that flags hf in gp waiting rooms before they hit my ward breathless at 3am? Yeah no, take the hundred mil. Worth it

#PointOfCare #CardiacScreening #Cardiology

honest to god breathless patient, twelve differentials, ten minute slot, and somehow we're surprised HF only gets caught wehn they're on my ward at 3am

#Diagnostics #PointOfCare #MedTech

Saw the SELUTION DEB approval land. Nothing-left-behind matters when your stent patients miss half their follow-ups and the nearest cardiologist is 90 minutes. I catch the S3 upstream so they never get there.

#CardiacScreening #PointOfCare #MedTech

like more capacity is just a longer queue. Capability is catching hf in gp so they never reach my ward at 3am. Not the same thing.

#PrimaryCare #PointOfCare #Diagnostics

: yes. Full echo: no. Bridging tech: try it, measure it, don't oversell it.

#ECG #Cardiology #PointOfCare

Breakthrough status for a drug-coated balloon is good news for cardiology. But my job is catching the heart failure upstream. Detection in primary care is where rural folks actually get helped.

🧬 Vers des diagnostics moléculaires plus accessibles !

L'ICGM accueillera le Dr Jérôme Lacombe (University of Arizona). Ses travaux portent sur les diagnostics au point de soins et des dispositifs "sample-in, answer-out", à l’interface entre chimie des essais et ingénierie.

cool tech, but my folks can't reach a cath lab.

realistically cE mark secured. The harder question is whether any ICB commissions the front-door deployment when the ~£14k admission it prevents sits in someone else's budget column.

84,000 low-reading reports hits close to home. Half my HF folks trust their home cuff more than my exam, a device that under-reads is a patient who skips their diuretic.

Endotoxin OOS on thoracic catheters. Grim.

#Diagnostics #PointOfCare #MedTech

The algorithm flags high risk, the gp does nothing, three weeks later they're on my ward at 3am, who's actually on the hook there

#CardiacScreening #PointOfCare #Cardiology

Thoracic catheter Class II recall, bacterial endotoxin OOS in one lot. Checking which post-cardiothoracic patients got that lot. 14-week echo queue but device alerts land same-day.

Intuitive CE mark for cardiac push, good news for Europe. My GP told me for seven years to lose weight. Took one blood test to find the real answer. Put these tools in primary care, not specialty clinics.

A GP surgery isn't an echo lab. POC structural inference works as triage between flagged and cardiology, only if we stop calling it a substitute.

#ECG #MedTech #PointOfCare

Early heart failure in my clinic looks like fatgiue and swollen ankles. A BNP is how I catch it before they're in the ER drowning. CMS lab cuts push that answer 30 minutes further down the road.
