I’m a dementia specialist, and so what I was experiencing was that many people were coming to see me to get a diagnosis of a very straightforward case of mild Alzheimer’s or moderate Alzheimer’s disease, whose doctors had told them there was nothing wrong with them or that their memory was better than my own, says the doctor.

Eric 12:05 Any pearls on the diagnosis of HFpEF. So I would agree, just in terms of not trying to dismiss a lot of these patients in terms of deconditioning and really trying to sometimes hone in on the diagnosis despite a Bnp level that is not necessarily very high.
