Mindst 56.714 mennesker er blevet dræbt i krigen i Gaza. Næsten 17.000 af de dræbte er børn. Her kan du møde tre af krigens små uskyldige ofre. #dkmedier #tomorrowspaperstoday
Exciting new study by @JakobOeystein & colleagues at @CTCPR_ Full strain curves reveal hidden HF risk beyond peak GLS, uncovering novel deformation patterns — even in young, low-risk individuals. 🫀 Could transform early HF risk stratification! doi.org/10.1016/j.ijca…
Simple nudges, strong effects — new RCT by @niklasdj1 @CTCPR_ pub. in JAMA. Behavioral e-letters raised flu vax by up to +13.9 pp. Cost-effective, easy to implement, reduce risk of HF and boosts uptake in high-risk groups, cutting complications and costs. doi.org/10.1001/jama.2…
🚨 Interesting new editorial by @dons_maria from @CTCPR_ challenges “benign” moderate aortic stenosis! 💥LV & LA strain analysis offers sharper risk stratification to improve patient outcomes. ❤️🩹 Must read for cardiovascular researchers! doi.org/10.1093/ehjci/…
🚨 Review from @CTCPR_ in @Ugeskriftet : Anabolic steroids linked to hypertension, thrombosis, atherosclerosis & heart damage. ▪️ Increased risk of arrhythmia ▪️ More research needed ❗Essential read for researchers @fwemmer1, @TorBiering 🔗 ugeskriftet.dk/videnskab/anab…
New @CTCPR_ study: Elevated hs-troponin T in PSVT without heart disease means higher 30-day mortality. ▪️ 65%+ had raised troponin ▪️ 30-day death: 2.4% vs <0.01% ▪️ No long-term impact 🫀 Useful for early risk assessment 🔗pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39549773/
In Denmark, I presented a special award – the “Future of Ukraine” distinction – to 11-year-old volunteer Jens Fogh Thomsen. Since last year, he has been handcrafting Easter decorations and, through their sale, has raised over 34,000 Danish kroner to purchase school backpacks and…
💉High-dose flu vaccine cut deaths & pneumonia/influenza hospitalizations vs. standard dose—regardless of CVD in DANFLU-1. 📉 All-cause hospitalization effect varied by CVD status. 🧪 By, @niklasdj1, @KiraJanstrup, @TorBiering @CTCPR_ 🔗 doi.org/10.1161/CIRCOU…
💌 Can a letter save lives? NUDGE-FLU-2 randomized 880K+ older adults to digital nudges vs. usual care. Small but meaningful boost—especially in those unvaccinated last year. Effect sustained across seasons. By @niklasdj1, @KiraJanstrup @TorBiering 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s41591…
💉 Findings from DANFLU-1: High-dose flu vaccine (QIV-HD) may benefit CKD patients over standard dose 🔬 No effect modification by CKD status 📉 Fewer hospitalizations with QIV-HD 🧪@katjabartholdy, @niklasdj1, @KiraJanstrup & @TorBiering from @CTCPR_ 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.jacc…
We are hiring 👇 Come join our amazing team!
@CTCPR_ Center for Translational Cardiology and Pragmatic Randomized Trials is expanding due to new innovative trails being planned. Come and join us as our new Project Nurse. candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationIni…
💥 Can ischemic heart disease (IHD) sabotage AF ablation? ⚠️ Preexisting IHD: no effect on AF recurrence but new IHD AFTER ablation triples AF relapse risk! 🧪 Study by @Espersen_C , @niklasdj1, @TorBiering from @CTCPR_ 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.hrth…
🫀 New findings from @CTCPR_ long-term outcomes after infant coarctation repair. 🩺 17-year follow-up shows late hypertension isn’t tied to surgery type or early arch size. 📉 Points to growth dynamics as bigger factor. 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcv…
