POTS pearls for the cardiologist, broken down into easy visuals by @drladyheart. Did you know that 50% have spontaneous resolution within 1-3 years?@CardioOb #ACCcardioOB

Who would pick a bioAVR over a Ross?? Not me! Kudos to @CandiceSilvers1 for staving off the afternoon snoozies with this talk on reproductive considerations for left-sized valve replacements! 😂 @CardioOb #ACCcardioOB

(Just to clarify, vaccine not available)

[Amanda W. Cai, MD @AWCaiMD]

Global perspectives on maternal RHD: MV gradients ~30, AV as high as 150! Amazing what the 🫀 can tolerate. 1’ prevention = vaccine & reducing poverty; 2’ prevention with PCN G to reduce severity & multi-valve involvement

- Reproductive rights are on the ballot in these states
- It is our responsibility to know our own state’s laws in order to best care for our patients
- Every time reproductive rights have been on the ballot voters have voted in favor of #AbortionIsHealthcare

[Amanda W. Cai, MD @AWCaiMD]

Powerful keynote by @DrQuinnCapers with many takeaways… but 63% of Cardiology PDs don’t feel that diversity needs to be increased at their programs in a field where 13% are women, 5% Hispanic, 3% Black doesn’t add up. Work to do!! #CardioObstetrics @ACCinTouch

[Amanda W. Cai, MD @AWCaiMD]

@drladyheart @dhalpern10 Yes, super heloful! I meant where attendees can bring their difficult cases for expert opinion discussion- I have so many of those that I’d love to hear thoughts on

[Amanda W. Cai, MD @AWCaiMD]

CHC use in patients with FH… yea or nay? What about counseling risk for ART? @PamelaBMorris

@nataliebello9 @DrKLindley a complex cases breakout session should be included in future #CardioOB essentials conferences!

[Amanda W. Cai, MD @AWCaiMD]

Never been more excited about any conference… a weekend of just learning about my favorite topic without clinical or parenting responsibilities - a true luxury!! #cardioobstetrics #womenincardiology @ACCinTouch

@PennStHershey first #WomeninCardiology meeting of the year last night! Got the picture too late but at least all our illustrious female fellows are in it!

[Amanda W. Cai, MD @AWCaiMD]

Year-end presentation for @PennStHershey JFDP… so grateful for amazing mentors like @drelisabradley and @JaimeyPauli who have opened so many doors for me & our #cardioOB program. Excited for expansion already in year 2! #ACHD #MFM #womensupportingwomen

Not-so-humble brag about my favorite #PEM doc’s hard work on treating the teen #opiatecrisis and educating acute care providers on how to help. @SandelichMD #pediatrics #EmergencyMedicine @PennStHershey @PennStateGME
