There is so much more valuable information in a 6-lead ECG than a 1-lead. The superiority of 6 leads in the diagnosis of AFib and the ability to diagnose Atrial Flutter (normally invisible in Lead I) are just two of them. #AliveCor #Kardia6L pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3585…

🔬Join us at @AHAScience Scientific Sessions from November 7-9 in Chicago as we showcase the award-winning Kardia 12L — an FDA-cleared, 12-lead ECG system that’s lighter than a smartphone and fits in a lab coat pocket.
Our founder, @DrDave01, will also be joining as a panelist on The State of Health Innovation 2026 on November 7 to explore the friction points, breakthroughs, and realities shaping AI’s role in care delivery.
📍Visit us at booth #HIP 1 in the Health Innovation Pavilion to meet the team, explore our clinically validated solutions, and see how they enable critical heart data capture—anytime, anywhere.

“I’m good at this, but my colleagues could benefit from this AI.”
A sentiment we often hear at conferences. Yet ECG quizzes and studies consistently reveal a gap between perceived and actual ability to recognize STEMI/OMI.
Recognizing our own limitations takes humility.

Insurance requiring a trial of stimulants before GLP-1 is dumbest concept ever.

Eating 800-1200 kcals daily and not losing weight is physiologically implausible.
That said, I don't think people are necessarily lying about their intake. Humans simply didn't evolve to be accurate calorimeters.

Them: ApoB didn't correlate with plaque progression.
Us: Wait...that wasn't your preregistered primary outcome.
Them: Plaque begets plaque
Us: Wait...your study shows LMHRs have historically high plaque progression.
Them: The data is wrong because our vendor sucks.
Us: Why did you go on a historic marketing campaign and produce a documentary?
Them: We retracted our paper. All good.
Us : That's not how this works.

Spending the weekend writing my exposé on the KETO-CTA disaster.
Working title: Retracted Wednesday. Premiered Saturday.
The OGs will know exactly what that means. Revisiting the saga feels like being gaslit all over again.
Hoping to publish next week.

We have known about #WPW and accessory pathways as a common cause of SVT for >100 years and have effective procedures to address them, but we still have NO IDEA why some patients are born with these extra slivers of muscle that electrically connect atria to ventricles. Medicinal use of lithium in pregnant women leads to heightened risk of a particular form of congenital heart disease associated with these pathways. Might variable levels of lithium in drinking water affect the chance a growing fetus will be born with such a pathway? @jclinicalinvest @UCSF @UCSFHospitals @stopafib @DrDave01 @KnowYourPulse
