Decannulation from Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Cardiogenic Shock does not equate recovery! Check our recent paper highlighting the increased mortality risk even following ECMO decannulation. https://t.co/dVTeg9deAV

Early bioprosthetic valve deterioration after TAVR is more common than thought (14%). Anticoagulation may protect; HALT flags risk. Early BVD โ earlier mortality, HF admissions, and redo TAVR. Check out our paper @CJCJournals@MHIF_Heart@MHIValveDoc

Does MAC severity affect patient outcomes following aortic valve replacement? Our recent publication showed no effect on MR/MS severity or death following AVR across MAC severity

๐จ Now published in European Heart Journal (SCD-PROTECT): High SCA treatment rate despite contemporary GDMT in 19,500 consecutive LifeVest (NICM and MI/CAD) patients, confirming importance of SCD protection during initiation of GDMT.
Fascinating paper just published in Science.
The authors analyze the career trajectories of top performers across multiple domains, including Nobel laureates, elite chess players, Olympic gold medalists, and more.
Their central finding challenges a common belief.
Intensive, single-discipline training at a young age does confer an early advantage, but this advantage fades over time.
By contrast, individuals exposed to multidisciplinary practice early in life tend to start more slowly. Yet, over the long run, they are more likely to reach world-class performance, eventually overtaking early specialists, who often plateau just below the very top.
An important reminder that breadth early on can be a powerful investment in long-term excellence.

I was deeply moved by my brief visit to the Port of Beirut, where an explosion devastated not just the area, but many human lives. I prayed for all the victims, and I carry with me the pain and thirst for truth and justice of so many families, of an entire country. #ApostolicJourney #Lebanon
#Lebanon will flourish once again, beautiful and vigorous like the cedar, a symbol of the peopleโs unity and fruitfulness. The strength of the cedar lies in its roots. In the same way, the many good things we see in Lebanese society today are the result of the humble, hidden and honest work of so many people of good will, of the many good roots. Draw from the good roots of those dedicated to serving society. Be the source of hope that the country is waiting for! #ApostolicJourney
Deep dive on #EARLYTAVR from ##TCT2024
Lots already said & discussed
It takes time to read the paper, read the supplementary appendix, analyse the results, think about them etc!
Some thoughts...๐งต

Awesome work led by @MarounCh3 with @hcmcim in @AmJCardio ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ Among 296 patients meeting InterTAK criteria for stress cardiomyopathy:
๐๐ผ 9.1% had polymorphic VT or VF
๐๐ผ apical-variant, a history of substance use disorder, and EF <30% were associated with a higher risk of PVT/VF
โ ๏ธ The first six hours is an especially high-risk period for PVT/VF, and 100% of life-threatening tachyarrhythmias occurred in the first 24 hours.

In the DanGer Shock trial involving patients with STEMI and cardiogenic shock, mortality at 6 months was lower with mechanical circulatory support with a microaxial flow pump than with standard care alone. Full trial results: https://t.co/3625asvzu8
@ecgandrhythmRoe VT (capture and fusion beats, AV dissociation). In setting of known ICM VT is the most likely dx. Plus 150 bpm is relatively slow for pre-excited A fib.
