The role of social media in cardiology

John Mandrola et al. Trends Cardiovasc Med. 2020 Jan.

Abstract

Digital and social media are transforming society and Medicine. In this review, we discuss how social media speeds the translation of medical evidence, disrupts peer review, changes the path to leadership, improves lifelong learning, connects colleagues and may even transform cardiovascular research. Despite some downsides, we make the case that social media will be a net positive for Medicine.

Keywords: Digital medicine; Lifelong learning; Peer review; Social media.
