Engagement
A typical post picks up 30 interactions against 121K followers, an engagement rate of 0.024%. Measured over 36 original posts, its engagement rate beats 31% of 20,183 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 3.7K times each, and 0.79% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.08% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 36 posts sampled, 69% carry an image or video and 92% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 434 interactions, about 14x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Heart Surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia's engagement rate beats 31% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,183 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 35% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 69% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 92% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 69% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 92% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 322 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

This is the conversation I have with patients every week. JD Vance called RFK Jr. because he wanted to give up sugar. The answer he got: high-protein meat + a lot of sauerkraut. Cut the sugar. Prioritize meat. Support the gut. That’s how you stay off my operating table. Take our Metabolic Health Quiz : https://t.co/vWLmV84Lyt Source: https://t.co/S66xN8ix6U @DrAseemMalhotra @DrSeanOMara

A secondary benefit of CAC scanning is that it also screens for ascending aortic aneurysms, a major risk factor for aortic dissection. Men should have a CAC scan by 40 years old, women by 50. If your doctor hasn't made that recommendation to you, ask why and take the initiative to save your own life. https://t.co/8mkdG739l9

After 25 years as a heart surgeon, I’ve learned that cholesterol isn’t telling us the whole story about heart disease. I’m now routinely operating on people in their 40s, and even patients in their 30s. In my conversation with Dr. Mariza Snyder, we talk about: The metabolic warning signs I want you watching Why I prioritize fasting insulin How muscle helps protect metabolic health What a CGM can reveal about your blood sugar Why heart disease prevention needs to start earlier Don’t wait until heart disease becomes the first sign something is wrong.

Take a listen to Ovadia Heart Health Cardiologist and Metabolic Health Specialist Dr. Aseem Malhotra: While heavy drinking has clear toxic effects on the heart muscle, moderate consumption—especially high-quality red wine high in anti-inflammatory polyphenols like procyanidins—presents a more nuanced picture.

My cardiac event came with a plan. Medication, a follow up, and a number to keep under. Every part of it was about managing what had already happened. Nobody asked why a fifty two year old former ATP pro tennis athlete with normal cholesterol of LDL at 110 had a heart attack in the first place. That question was not on the list. Medicine is extraordinary at the wide end. It saved my life. Nobody is paid to walk upstream. So I built something that does, with four people who had been saying it for a lot longer than me. Neo is the world's first root cause health AI. You upload the labs you already have. It reads every marker together, scores them against optimal rather than normal, and names the ones nobody ever ordered. We are going to change the world of health care with something I wished I has 6 years ago lying in that hospital bed - a health platform to tell me if that actually is true? Other health apps add numbers. Neo looks for the one underneath them.

Glucose spikes are what matter most when assessing your heart disease risk with CGM. In non-diabetics using CGM, higher exposure to glucose >140 mg/dL correlated with higher risk. Takeaway: CGM is a valuable tool for anyone trying to be proactive about their heart disease risk https://t.co/IMGQL2WHZr

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 30 interactions against 121K followers, an engagement rate of 0.024%. Measured over 36 original posts, its engagement rate beats 31% of 20,183 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 3.7K times each, and 0.79% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.08% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 36 posts sampled, 69% carry an image or video and 92% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 434 interactions, about 14x its own typical post.
- What is Heart Surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia's engagement rate on X?
- Heart Surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia (@ifixhearts) has an engagement rate of 0.024%, based on the median interactions across 36 original posts from the last 30 days against 121,192 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.024%, Heart Surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia sits above the 25th percentile of the 202,076 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @ifixhearts have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 31% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,183 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @ifixhearts post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.8 posts per day across the measured window.
