There is a rhythm to medicine.
You’re first exposed to it in med school.
The Patient, presenting with the Problem, and then the search for the Path forward.
Like the rhythmic thumps and pauses of a heartbeat.
Sometimes flowing, sometimes stopping and starting jarringly. 1/

Thank you, @Jcontreras75, for chairing the American Heart Association Scientific Statement, “State of Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke in Hispanic/Latino Adults in the United States,” now published in Circulation.
Deep gratitude to you and @daguilarmd for leading the writing group and inviting me to be part of this important initiative. Thank you to @ggvela, Fatima Rodriguez, Jorge Kizer, Ileana Piña, Yamnia I. Cortes, and all co-authors for your expertise, diverse perspectives, and teamwork.
During #HispanicHeritageMonth, the message is clear: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the Hispanic/Latino community. Prevention starts early—in childhood.
Adverse pregnancy outcomes also provide an important opportunity to identify cardiovascular risk and connect patients with appropriate prevention and care.
A privilege to contribute to this work and to advancing cardiovascular health equity. ❤️

1/ I had one of those moments in clinic today that completely stopped me in my tracks.
One of my follow-up patients came in with a new caregiver.
The caregiver looked at me and said:
“Do you remember me?”
I didn’t.

7/ I’ve been thinking about it ever since.
In medicine, so many days feel ordinary.
See the patient.
Solve the problem.
Write the orders.
Make the call.
Fight with insurance.
Find a way.
Then move on to the next person who needs you.

COVID PSA: We now have PEP.
Ensitrelvir (Xocova) can be taken after a known COVID exposure to reduce the risk of developing COVID.
Preventing the infection in the first place also means preventing its potential downstream consequences, including Long COVID.
