Working at @PMunkCardiacCtr has its perks. A short break from the #CICU and a visit from the Larry O’Brien trophy #NBA #Raptors #the6ix

@MSharifpourMD Definitely hit up Gilaneh and Moslem kabob in the grand bazaaar

@GBL_Unit @tberzin @SaadAlrajhi @ammara_a @BIDMCSurgery @BIDMC_GI @harvardmed @CanadiensMTL That’s probably a Boustan shawarma one 😉

@DrToddLee Those team dinners at McGill created some of the best memories of my training. I think universities are going too far. They make us do 100 useless modules on wellness, when sharing wine can often bring wellness

@UofTDoMChair @UofT_DoM @GIMtoronto @UofTCardio @UofTNeurology Sheldon Singh is an inspiration and a dedicated mentor to countless cardiology residents, fellows, and alumni/junior staff. @UofTCardio and @Sunnybrook are very lucky to have him.

@behnam_tehrani @MSharifpourMD Try chocolate pistachio next time if they have it. Or visit Mamie Clafoutis in Montreal post pandemic. Your life will be complete

The great prize on offer in 2021 is the chance of bringing the pandemic under control. In the meantime risks abound, to health, economic vitality and social stability #TheWorldIn2021 https://t.co/XWEOe252pm

Our recent work from the Framingham Heart study. Measuring Lp(a) may help stratify cardiovascular disease risk associated with moderate LDL, identifying individuals who may benefit from statin treatment. #TESTLpa

[JAHA @JAHA_AHA]

Elevation of LDL‐C ≥135 mg/dL and lipoprotein(a) ≥100 nmol/L increase CAD risk https://t.co/yAl1qbwyLN #AHAJournals

@FralickMike Cardiology got rid of it. It was lots of work, but lots of fun creating & watching at the end. This past year our holiday block was pretty boring and didn’t really feel like the holidays. I think it falls within wellness which should be CMR priority 🥳

[Mehdi Afshar, MD @MehdiAfsharMD]

Exactly 20 years ago today my family and I immigrated from 🇮🇷 to 🇨🇦, and 10 years ago this week, I started medical school in 🇺🇸. Looking forward to the next decade #immigrant #MedTwitter
