@escardio
! In acute HF with features suggestive of underlying CAD (prior MI, ⬆️trop, or angina), coronary angiography within 2 weeks of admission was associated with ⬇️mortality, CV death, and HF readmissions and ⬆️ revascularization at 2 years.
Very excited to share our work on the high burden of undiagnosed HFpEF in obesity, now out in
@CircHF
!
Among research volunteers with obesity, dyspnea, and no known CVD, at least 1/3 had HFpEF newly uncovered on invasive CPET.

annual meeting today!
Incredible talk on non-cardiac
#POCUS
in the CICU by
@CardsNYC
at the
@nyulangone
Cardiac Critical Care Conference
#critcarecards22
Important take-home point: ultrasound is more sensitive AND specific than CXR for identifying pulmonary edema, PTX, and more: learn to use it!
Had the best time presenting about Cardiac Critical Care for the
@ACCinTouch
Young Scholars alongside
@AlixB8
@Markschmidhofe1

#ACC24
Thanks so much to
@jameshorowitzmd
@MyNameIsMena
for joining us for our VERY FIRST Cardiac Critical Care session for
@ACCinTouch
Young Scholars! It was great to discuss the basics of shock and medical therapy/MCS and introduce the students to this new career path in cardiology.
So excited to be selected for the

Thanks so much to this all-star Chief Fellows Leadership Symposium panel for helping us answer the questions: what is the role of the chief fellow in fellowship recruitment? And what steps can a program take to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion across their fellowship?
Thanks to our amazing panel for discussing the chief fellow's role in mentorship/wellness at the
@ACCinTouch
Chief Fellows Leadership Symposium!
Key Takeaway: Chief fellows are KEY in 1) identifying program concerns early and 2) gathering fellow input and buy-in for solutions!
We couldn't be more excited to welcome such a phenomenal group of new fellows to the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Cardiovascular Medicine Fellowship in July 2024!!!
Excited to present my work on the association of CAD severity with long-term outcomes in acute HF with

So exciting to see my mentor
@DouglasLeeMD
present the result of the COACH trial as a
#AHA22
LBCT! The use of a clinical risk stratification algorithm and rapid outpt f/u for HF patients presenting to the ED resulted in reduced composite of death or CV hospitalization at 30-days.
Phenomenal visual representation of the "RV Death Spiral" by Dr. Mike Solomon
@NIHClinicalCntr
from his talk on acute RV failure in PE!
#critcarecards23
Our study led by
@leahkosyakovsky
and

@ACCinTouch
Getting geared up for the
@ACCinTouch
Future of Cardiology reception, recognizing not only our Young Scholars, but also the IM Program, Early Career Professionals,

Got to see a special preview of our Young Scholars posters--they have all done such phenomenal work! Here is
@AzmerKhan11
presenting on his work in length of stay after TAVR, make sure to check out his poster at tomorrow's session!!
Had such a great time finishing off our Camp Cardiac with a round of Jeopardy. You know you've got a bright future when you are confidently crushing questions that even us cardiologists were unsure about! Can't wait to see all of our students' abstract presentations
@ACCinTouch
!
So great to see this study extending on our previous work in post-sepsis
#CVD
. Always excited to see the excellent research
@fedeangriman
comes out with!
2)
@HKnaussMD
presenting her work examining the associations of trans-RV metabolite gradients in individuals with obesity with cardiometabolic risk factors and PH.
Wondering what the DICE program
@UofTCardio
is all about? We’re having a 3 session workshop in collab with
@_GirlSySTEM
mentorship for students to learn all about cardiology/associated specialties! Session 1 is April 13th
@6pm

#ACC23
How do you approach educational curriculum design as a chief fellow?
As we learned from
@FKeatingMD
@MartyTamMD
at the
@ACCinTouch
Chief Fellows Leadership Symposium, it's important to a) set a few tangible goals and b) approach each initiative with specific learning objectives!
Next up:
@kewatson
giving a great lecture on the effects of alcohol, tobacco, and illicit substances on heart health and dispelling common misconceptions about the relationship between red wine and CVD!
@ACCinTouch
Young Scholars Camp Cardiac
Excellent discussion at our ACC Young Scholars meeting with
@kewatson
@leahkosyakovsky
@malvarez_md
about MCATs alternative pathways and everything you need to know about a career in medicine
5) Major Takeaways:
🥇 There is a HIGH burden of unrecognized HFpEF among individuals with obesity in the community.
🥈Obese individuals with HFpEF may not be easily distinguished by resting TTE, BNP, or HFpEF risk scores.
🥉Exercise testing is key to unmask HFpEF in obesity!
Our
@ACCinTouch
Young Scholars are getting incredible hands-on training in echo, pathology, and CPR all in one day! So grateful to our
@GWSMHS
cardiology FITs for helping our with the echo sessions!
