Abbreviations

[MichaelJH]

Good morning everyone,

It's bright and sunny here after yesterday's sun, rain, wind, hail. (which actually lay for a short period), thunder and lightning.

The world of cardiology is full of abbreviations and acronyms which can be confusing particularly to newcomers who often are in a state of shock and not taking everything in. There is a list of abbreviations here:

healthunlocked.com/bhf/post...

I will readily admit it really needs updating into a single list, and hopefully this will be done as we come out of the pandemic and the BHF's income and staffing levels improve.

As a reminder the recommended practice is to give the full expanded version the first time it occurs in a thread, e.g. CSPH (Clinically Significant Pulmonary Hypertension).

Many thanks...
