The paper by
@Norman_C_Wang
re: diversity in medicine has been retracted. The author does not agree to the retraction. JAHA will publish a rebuttal. More information is available in the official retraction notice:
Important for cardiologists: the definition and approach to

The editors of JAHA fully endorse inclusiveness in medicine and condemn all notions of discrimination. The article by Wang represents solely his view and does not reflect in any way the opinions of the AHA or the editors. The editors are currently re-evaluating the article.
Should ApoB be applied widely in clinical care? Multiple expert groups have confirmed its accuracy, precision, and selectivity surpass that of LDL-C and non-HDL-C. The future looks bright w/ mass spec methods enhancing standardization.

High CAC scores (>300) in adults with prediabetes/diabetes are linked to faster cognitive decline, especially in verbal memory for women. Protecting heart health could also guard against cognitive deterioration.

We fully endorse inclusiveness in medicine & condemn all notions of discrimination. The article by Wang represents solely his view & does not reflect the opinions of AHA or the editors. It is being re-evaluated. More from Editor-in-Chief:
SGLT2 inhibitors should be regarded as neurohormonal antagonists when prescribed for the treatment of heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction.

Rapid intake of 350-500mL water significantly increases BP and decreases HR, suggesting a simple, non-pharmacological approach to manage orthostatic hypotension symptoms. Further investigation is needed for PoTS in standing positions.
