We’ve got Dr. Harlan Krumholz, editor of Journal Watch Cardiology and CardioExchange, to guide us through a week’s worth of the top research presented at the American Heart Association in Chicago.
Interview-related links (in the order we discuss them in the interview):
Would have been interesting to hear Dr. Krumholz’s hypothesis on why the telemonitoring study in heart failure did not show an impact on outcomes. I’m guessing one possibility is that lifestyle/diet/mental health or other issues that may be resistant to modification by this approach as drivers of rehospitalization, and/or natural hx of the disease.
