Lots of cardiology to discuss this week with the Apple Heart and COLCOT studies, both published in the New England Journal of Medicine.  We also talk about the 3 Wishes Project, the net clinical benefit of oral anticoagulation with aging over 75, the benefits of non-pharmaceutical treatment of agitation, and getting blood cultures before you give antibiotics.

Should we add blood pressure medications or increase the dose while patients are in the hospital?  What are the risk factors and outcomes for people who receive antibiotics for asymptomatic bacteriuria?  And how does the DRIP score stack up against previous tools for identifying patients at high risk for drug resistant pneumonia?
