First textbook contribution in Medicine. 🥂

[Novi Yanti Sari @slumberbell]

Just published in JACC @JACCJournals!🫀

Acute HF care is evolving:
📍Rapid diagnosis
📍Early decongestion
📍Timely GDMT initiation
📍Structured follow-up
📍Focus on long-term outcomes, not just symptom relief

Grateful to have contributed to this international collaboration & learned so much from the exceptional experts involved in this work. Congratulations to @Jolie_Bruno_ and @AlexMebazaa for the leadership & to all co-authors on this important publication🫀

🫀🏃‍♂️ Exercise Physiology: Why Fitness Is a Vital Sign

Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) isn’t just about performance — it’s one of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. In fact, the American Heart Association recommends treating CRF as a clinical vital sign.

At the center of CRF is VO₂ max — the gold standard measure of maximal oxygen uptake. It reflects the integrated function of:

❤️ Heart (cardiac output)
🫁 Lungs (ventilation & gas exchange)
🩸 Blood (oxygen delivery)
💪 Muscle (mitochondrial extraction & utilization)

Using the��Fick equation, oxygen consumption = cardiac output × arteriovenous O₂ difference. In simple terms: how much blood the heart pumps × how much oxygen muscles extract.

📉 Without training, VO₂ max declines ~1% per year with aging — but this decline is attenuated by sustained physical activity.

🔥 Fuel dynamics matter:
At low intensity → fat predominates
At higher intensity → carbohydrates take over
The “crossover” reflects neurohormonal and metabolic shifts.

🧠 Thresholds define performance:
• Ventilatory threshold = sustainable steady-state intensity
• Lactate threshold ≠ “fatigue toxin” — lactate is a metabolic shuttle, not waste
• VE/VCO₂ slope = powerful prognostic marker in heart failure

💓 During exercise, cardiac output can increase ≥5-fold. Stroke volume adaptation — not heart rate — is the primary training-driven cardiac improvement.

🫁 In healthy individuals, lungs rarely limit maximal exercise — it’s usually the heart and peripheral extraction.

🔎 Bottom line:
Exercise is not a single-organ phenomenon. It is a fully integrated systems test of human physiology — and one of the most powerful tools in prevention medicine.

Fitness is not optional biology. It’s measurable resilience.

🎄 Holiday Heart Health Tip: Enjoy the festivities, watch the alcohol & salt – can trigger irregular heartbeats (aka 'Holiday Heart Syndrome')!
Stay active (post-meal walk), eat veggies & nuts, & manage stress. Your heart will thank you!

CLEAR-IE - largest multicenter registry on percutaneous mechanical aspiration in R infective endocarditis now published in @JACCJournals - high procedural success, 93% neg blood cx, adverse events likely related to complications from IE esp hypoxia and shock - Prospective studies needed to better assess efficacy and timing of intervention/early aspiration before complications from IE arise.

Our paper was simultaneously released with our presentation at #ESCCongress
♥️women remain underrepresented in Clinical CV Trials but improving
⚙️ Device trials, procedural trials less likely to enroll women
🌎 USA mostly likely to include women in clinical trials, Asia least likely
🎓 University led trials more likely to include women, Government funding least likely to includes women!
🫀Great strides in #HF trials including women 👏🏽

Did you know 67% of ischemic #stroke patients experience ECG abnormalities within 24 hours?
Stroke-induced cardiac dysfunction is a major challenge requiring integrated care.
