I'm devastated the #UNC community lost a faculty member in an act of violence on campus. Carolina will move into Condition 2 - classes will be canceled tomorrow and all non-mandatory operations are suspended. Tar Heels, know that support is available. https://t.co/YL5sl9EHf1

Patients presenting with MI but without standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors may have increased risk of all-cause mortality and lower ️use of guideline directed medical therapy. #AHAJournals @zainchunawala @CaugheyPhD @DLBHATTMD @AqamarMD https://t.co/kO8LHhS2R9

[Lampe Joint Biomedical Engineering @jointbme]

Joint BME is launching a hiring initiative across both @UNC and @NCstate. Over the next three years, ten new faculty members will be recruited to lead collaborative, interdisciplinary biomedical engineering research. Visit the link below for more info @BMESociety #BMES2022

[Duke Clinical Research Institute @DCRINews]

#COVID patients were 45% more likely to experience heart failure within a year of being discharged than those hospitalized for other reasons, according to new research published in @naturecomms.

[Zainali Chunawala @zainchunawala]

Just published in @ESC_Journals our work on prognostic significance of obstructive coronary artery disease in patients admitted with ADHF.

A special thank you to @CaugheyPhD for her incredible mentorship.

[Marat Fudim, MD MHS @FudimMarat]

Great thread on the link of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Dysautonomia/POTS.

To extend on the observations some additional points 🧵:

#1 EDS is commonly associated with venous abnormalities such as nutcracker physiology of abdominal vessels or May Thurner syndrome.

[Husam Salah @HusamSalah]

Excited to see our work published in @NatureComms. Important and worrisome findings!

📢COVID-19 and Incident Heart Failure in @NatureComms

🟥 COVID-19 hospitalization is associated w/ a 45% higher hazard of incident HF
🟥 More pronounced association among pts who are younger, White, or w/ established CVD

@zainchunawala @UTSWInternalMed @UTSWIMchief Congratulations, @zainchunawala ! Great news!!

[Circ: Heart Failure @CircHF]

Original Research: Is the physical exam still relevant? In #ARIC acute HF surveillance, combined physical exam findings (edema + JVD + rales) more prognostic for HFpEF than HFrEF.
