R. Kannan Mutharasan, MD (@DoctorFitHeart), medical director, South Region, Northwestern Medicine Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute, discusses the institute’s rapid growth at Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital. These efforts have resulted in community access to a wide range of cardiac surgery options and a clinical trial network throughout the Chicago area. https://t.co/L01t4IFmAe
Nothing quite like watching the masterful teaching of @DoctorFitHeart & so many others. M1s are 1/2 thru the CV module having dissected, recreated the embryology of, listened to & scanned the heart. Today, they played HEART bingo for fabulous prizes. @NUFeinbergMed@NMCardioVasc
Just when I think I’m young… I realize I’m old enough to give a med school lecture.
Had a blast teaching MS1’s how to take a chest pain history today. Can’t wait for the next talk :)
Now out: The 2021 Multi Society Chest Pain Guideline
A special thanks to the entire writing group led by @DrMarthaGulati and to the countless others who have worked on this over the past several years

PRESERVED-HF is now published and online @NatureMedicine. RCT of #SGLT2i vs placebo in n=324 #HFpEF pts, LVEF>45%. Clearly positive trial with no heterogeneity by LVEF. +5.8 improvement in KCCQ and +20.8 meter improvement in 6MWT distance. @MkosiborodMD https://t.co/9AjpJO1Zv0
In his new role, Surendra Avula, MD, will collaborate with the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute Quality Team, focusing on metrics to drive improvement in patient outcomes and expand our program in interventional and structural #HeartDisease at NM Palos Hospital.
@yadersandoval@IllinoisACC This is great, thank you! Where we find challenge in providing teams guidance is the indeterminate zone - say hsTnI 25 then 44 (in the gray zone by our assay) -- ESC guidelines would suggest stress reasonable, but we feel clinical judgement should heavily inform the strategy
@athenapoppas kicking off the @IllinoisACC annual meeting with a fantastic talk on leadership. Important points:
-The only constant is change
-Leadership “soft” skills can be innate but also taught
-Having a supportive team is crucial
-Continually reassess
In his new role, Albert C. Lin, MD @AlbertLinMD1, will collaborate with regional EP lab directors, and BCVI Medical & Administrative Directors to achieve uniformity in EP services and quality, and further adoption of new technologies to drive volume growth and research expansion.
This was such a good decision for me in 1984 and I hope the class of 2025 receives the same enduring value from their education and lifelong friendships as i have. #purplepride
