Success is not an accident. Neither is failure. If you do what successful people do over and over, nothing can stop you from being successful. And if you don’t, nothing can help you.

The National Academy of Medicine reports that as much as half of all physicians and nurses suffer from "substantial symptoms of burnout" and the rate among our trainees is as high as 60%. Realize you are not alone and it's not a weakness to seek help.

Tako tsubo (sometimes called broken heart syndrome) is one of the most fascinating heart conditions to me. Tako tsubo is when a stressful experience leads to all the signs of a heart attack with severe impairment of the heart function. Read this study!

As a cardiologist, it’s been humbling to learn that the way I have taken blood pressure for over 20 years is wrong. Here’s an article from Fierce Healthcare that describes our participation in the TargetBP program
