It’s the honor of a lifetime to give the Feigenbaum lecture at #ASE2026. Any career in medicine takes a village and I’ve been so fortunate to have this one. It’s a privilege to be a part of this @ASE360 family. So grateful for the opportunity and support. @BidmcCvi @SmithBIDMC

I am presenting today at ASE 2026 Scientific Sessions. Please check out my talk if you are attending and interested!
I will be sharing the results of our study evaluating the effect of a non-interruptive nudge in echo reports on the outcomes of severe AS. #ASE2026 @ASE360 🫀

🚨Our study in @JAMACardio was featured by TCTMD.
Key finding:
✅ Quadruple GDMT for HFrEF was projected to reduce HF hospitalizations by 87%
✅ Reduce all-cause hospitalizations by 61%
✅ Lower hospitalization-related costs by nearly $10,000 per patient-year
✅ As drug costs continue to decline with generic availability, the value proposition of GDMT becomes even more compelling.

It was a pleasure to be part of this global effort!

Check out our recent work @CircImaging : a multimodal AI model integrating echo, clinical & lab data to push cardiac amyloidosis detection further, tested across a global multiethnic registry.

@MKeykhaeiMD @JAMACardio @gcfmd @SinaRsh @SJGreene_md @NMHheartdoc Great work! Congratulations!

Perfect representation of why we do and what we do. At @PennCardiology Thalheimer Center for CardioOncology, we had a Patient Symposium with great interactive educational sessions for our patients, led by @DrBonnieKy
Most impactful was when patients shared their experience.

Our new multicenter study is now out in @JournalASEcho.

A simple, automated, non-interruptive nudge embedded in echo reports for patients with newly diagnosed severe AS was associated with higher rates of timely referral and AVR. @PennCardiology
