#RealWorldData advocates facing challenges addressing sources of bias suggest causal modelling as a solution. Doesn’t work. Comparison of 19 modelling studies with #RCTs showed 42% differed in direction and 47% of confidence intervals didn’t include RCT estimate.…

Too much waste. Too much waiting. Too much #scanxiety. Happy to share that we received @CIHR_IRSC funding for the JUSTIFY RCT (NCT06930521), which will test a novel approach to reduce mandatory routine heart imaging during HER2+ #breastcancer treatment. #CardioOncology

It's always bittersweet when our fellows move on to the next step in their careers. Thank you for everything over the past 2 years. We are so proud of you 🙌🏽


Wishing all a #HappyCanadaDay from @UHN Celebrating our great nation with pride and appreciation! Special thanks to those working in service of others today. Welcome to @UHN to our new PGY colleagues!
🍁 Happy Canada Day! We hope you’re enjoying time with loved ones today in this country we call home. Some of us were born here, others arrived later, but no matter how our journeys began, we’re building something better together.
Just published commentary shows how expanding definitions of diseases such as #hypertension, gestational #diabetes, #osteoporosis, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder & social #anxiety disorder can result in harmful #medicalization & inefficient resource use.…

There’s a disconnect in #CardioOnc: 80% of preclinical studies focus on #anthracyclines, yet <2% of clinical trials test them. To prevent cancer Tx–related #cardiotoxicity, we need research that reflects today’s therapies jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #ESCardioOnco2025 #JACCCardioOnc
Have to say, watching the Panthers smother the life out of a very good Oiler team, I may have been too hasty in judging the Leafs (who after all took them to seven games). I and about six million others.
Lung cancer and cardiovascular disease State of the Art Review 👉 tinyurl.com/5n7cfuek. Tremendous effort by Dr. M. El-Rayes and colleagues to put this together. 🙏 #cardioonc @JACCJournals @husam247 @drchrisyu @PMunkCardiacCtr @mskcc @pmcancercentre @UHN @UofT
The potential impact of this RCT is huge. First one to prove that exercise has benefits equal to many standard treatments for cancer. Wow! Congrats to #ChrisBooth, #KerryCourneya eg al. Go Canada! nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Huang et al analyze EMBRACE-MRI to provide insights into cardiac injury during breast cancer treatment. @AnaBaracCardio @BrazileTiffany suggest looking beyond systolic echo measures in related editorial jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…
Comprehensive #CardioOnc echo needs to include Diastole. Kudos to @dineshpmcc1 & his team on elegant analysis of differences in CTRCD development. Thanks to @ISHVnews super fellow @BrazileTiffany on great Editorial points. @JACCJournals
