We're back, after a brief hiatus! 

Today we talk about duration of therapy for bacteremia, Factor XI inhibition for atrial fibrillation, whether to stop ACEi or ARB before elective surgery, and whether GLP-1 agonists are beneficial in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. 

Go to minute 7:30 to skip the banter.
