Hey folks, Scott Weingard here, and this is an MCRIT podcast. Today on the podcast, we have a cardiovascular

mcrit episode, which means you're going to be hearing from Trina Augustin, editor of cardiovascular

MCRIT, brilliant cardiac intensivist friend, and I'm always so happy to do episodes with her.

In the podcasting world, sometimes you record episodes, and after the recording's done, you're like, this is gold, and you want to get it up as quickly as possible.

And then you look at your posting schedule and it's not going to come out for two months.

And you're like, oh, drat, I wish I could share this today.

Well, this is one of those episodes.

It's a two-parter. This is part one in which

we deal with the basics of ionotropic agents. And then in part two, we'll discuss some specific

scenarios. It's great stuff. It is the companion to the vasopressor podcast, the vasopressor basics

podcast I did. Somewhere in the 200s, I don't remember the exact number, but that one also

had an incredibly positive response, and I think this will join that same litany of

hemodynamic management basics. So hopefully you like it. If you do, please put something in the

comments. Let me know that you like these, and you want them to keep going in this vein, because I don't get a lot of feedback these days outside of the socials where I try not to

traffic. And so I would love to hear from you if you like this episode. Right before we jump in,

I just want to mention a conference near and dear to my heart. And then we will join Trina

Augustine to discuss ionotropes. All right, here's what I want you to know.
