Hi, my name is Dr. Munir Janmohamed, and I'm an advanced heart failure cardiologist. I wanna talk about another tool that's available on the Doximity suite called Ask. It's available both on the app as well as the website. You have the tools listed here on the left, and we're gonna go over Ask here.
So once you click that, you'll have a prompt. You can ask a variety of questions, and there's a dropdown, instant versus thinking. Instant basically means a quick question regarding medication, or let's say, side effect. Thinking would be an example, let's say a more complicated, let's say a challenging patient you're seeing in the office and you wanna ask to get some guidance.
So we're gonna talk about instant. As a heart failure specialist, I take care of pulmonary hypertension. There's a novel new medication called sotatercept, which is used for PH. So I wanna learn about the evidence for this medication. So here we could type in the field evidence for sotatercept.
You can see it's saving articles and now gives you summary quite quick. And you can see here it talks about what is the medication, sotatercept. Important to know what, in this case it was a STELLAR study. Then you obviously wanna know what is the mechanism, the pharmacology, safety considerations, and then what are the evolving evidence, emerging evidence and ongoing questions, and then practical consideration as well too.
And oftentimes when you have a medication, you wanna review the actual article in which the medication was studied. In this case, it was studied in New England Journal of Medicine based on the STELLAR studies. The nice thing, there's a link here. You click this and now it's gonna open up PubMed.
This is the paper, the landmark paper. And then if you wanna actually pull up the article, there's no firewalls. You can see now it goes straight to the New England Journal of Medicine and you're able to review more thoroughly the paper and its details.
