What a wild ride these last 3 years have been! So grateful for the privilege to train at @UCSDHealth for my cardiology fellowship. Excited for what’s to come. Stay tuned.
Third year fellows @PatrickAzcarate and Prerana Bhatia (chief fellow) giving grand rounds today on radiation associated CVD and paradigms for medical education in cardiology!
Thanks to @AnnaMcDivitMD for the photo!
Happy to be featured on @CardioNerds sharing teaching points on radiation-associated cardiac disease (RACD) from this practice-changing case with @AntoinetteBirs and expert insights from @DesaiMilindY. Check it out for more learning and radiation-associated puns! #cardioOnc
The @UCSDHealth 2 for 1 special. A case concomitant pulmonary thromboendarterectomy and heart transplantation. #CTEPH due to clots on her ICD wires. https://t.co/hm7OK1NmzF

@DxRxEdu and I are thrilled to announce that @Sharminzi will taking over from us as @CPSolvers president.
Sharmin has been a pilar of CPSolvers since day 1 and we know there is no one out there better equipped to carry forward the mission.
Radiation-induced Heart Disease (RIHD) is the SECOND most common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients who have received mediastinal radiation! RIHC includes pericardial disease, CAD, cardiomyopathy, and arrhythmias.
Two great cath conference presentations this week! @PatrickAzcarate discussed a case of radiation related coronary artery disease in a young patient with consideration of PCI vs. CABG and @AntoinetteBirs reviewed SCAD leading to VT arrest. See below for related references!
From the other side of residency, some thoughts on the induction into the culture of medicine and how we signal values to interns in ways that can shape them for a long time. @NEJM @NEJMPerspec

From @ucsfmedicine@patrickazcarate and colleagues: 60% of patients using marijuana for medical reasons report that their doctors know and are neutral or supportive. #medicalmarijuana https://t.co/ur50Ki9U6i
As our friends and colleagues brave the font lines, we must also get ready for a series of aftershocks. It's very hard to plan this far ahead while we're in survival mode. We must prepare early and strategize our response to the collateral damage of #COVID19
#MedicalMarijuana use is increasing. What are patients using it for and how have our views changed? That's what we sought to answer in this national survey.
Special thanks to my mentors at UCSF for the opportunity to lead this project!
