Very exciting to see our perspective on the synergy between SGLT-2 inhibitors, semaglutide and exercise training published in the prestigious European Heart Journal (IF: 39.3, 2/215 journals in Cardiac&Cardiovascular systems). Many thanks to the Editors of the European Heart Journal for the opportunity to deliver this important message to your esteemed readers and to my all-star coauthors and mentors Chip Lavie and Thijs Eijsvogels for great suggestions and supervision! :) #cardiology #cardiacrehabilitation #pharmacokinetics #exerciseismedicine #kinesiology

Nephrologists, take note: Haemoglobin is considered more accurate than haematocrit for anemia testing, providing greater precision and stability. Hb offers superior accuracy within and between labs, unlike Hct, which is method-specific. Iron deficiency can amplify Hct measurement discrepancies. Hb's stability makes it less influenced by variables like hydration status, enabling precise clinical control and valid cross-center comparisons. For accurate Hb and Hct testing on one device, look no further than the Nova Biomedical StatStrip Hb/Hct meter available in SA.
