We’re dedicating today’s top story to the people and publications that we rely on to find the most interesting cardiology stories from across the web. Assuming that you already subscribe to Cardiac Wire, these are the 35 other newsletters, websites, and social media accounts to follow if you really want to know what’s happening in cardiology.
I’ll always check the mainstream cardiology news websites (TCTMD, Medscape, et al.) and the major cardiovascular journals (JACC, AHA, JAMA Cardiology, etc.), but in order to find news that you won’t see elsewhere and understand how it impacts care, the juiciest stories usually come from the newsletters and websites run by people of cardiology.
- CardioNerds – An excellent and fun resource for cardiology education
- Circulation on the Run – We appreciate recaps “for busy clinicians on the run”
- Gregory Katz’s Substack – Interesting and educational takes on cardiology
- Numerical Heart – His gene editing pieces have been excellent
- Dr Paddy Barrett – An unexpected mix of cardiology and philosophy
- Sensible Medicine – They almost always influence my coverage
- Stop and Think – The stories (and criticisms) behind the studies
- The Skeptical Cardiologist – Skeptical takes on the latest cardiology topics
