@drjohnm Is there any place that you see it potentially beneficial?

[Ashok Krishnaswami @cardskrish]

@EricTopol @MustafaAjlan @JAMAInternalMed Orthostatic hypotension does not = POTS

[Ashok Krishnaswami @cardskrish]

@mmamas1973 Truly unbelievable!

[Ashok Krishnaswami @cardskrish]

@DrIngold @drjohnm I'm forgetting the name of the exact epidemiological bias this refers to. But if we look at SAEs- something similar- no one blames the colonoscopy induced perforation that later passes away may weeks later in the ICU. @venkmurthy

[Ashok Krishnaswami @cardskrish]

@venkmurthy @drjohnm @X @ihtanboga Yup- don't have a particular response!

This picture is more than 14 years old with the pioneers of our field!

Proud to belong to this group of clinician scientists!

*Mark your calendars*

Our Annual Conference in Cardiovascular Aging will be hosted in the Heart House at American College of Cardiology in Washington, DC May 15-16, 2026: @venumenon10 @MichaelGNanna @tavrkapadia

Thanks for @ACCinTouch for supporting the field AND @ClevelandClinic for continuing the legacy!

@utmbcardiology @utmbhealth @MShalabCardUTMB @ACCinTouch @DrDamluji Amazing
Congratulations

@DrJMarine Joe - Thank you for sharing! On another topic - Thank you so much for sharing your expertise for the CMP talks on EP topics. I learned a lot and helped greatly for continued ABIM certification!l🙏🏼

In collaboration with Dr. @MichaelGNanna @YaleCardiology, I am excited to launch the @ClevelandClinic Cardiovascular Center on Aging Grand Rounds & Distinguished Lecture Series

Sept 25, 5–6 PM ET, for the inaugural lecture by Dr. Daniel E Forman on aging & CV care. Open to all.

Great summary as usual my friend @DrDamluji . Agree with questions around not meeting PH assumptions. Would have been nice to see RMST analysis.

[Abdulla A. Damluji, MD, PhD @DrDamluji]

🥸2️⃣0️⃣ These findings highlight the need for caution when considering aspirin for primary prevention in older adults. In this population, long-term use *may* not be associated with cardiovascular benefit and bleeding risks remain a concern.

Benefits of Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR): Mechanisms to Restore Function and Clinical Impact: @CircRes

🥸 Very proud of this work with my 2 mentors @DEF_gericard @DrDaleNeedham published in Circulation Research & @ParagGoyalMD

😱Molecular to Clinical Mechanisms of CR

👇👇

[Abdulla A. Damluji, MD, PhD @DrDamluji]

🥸1️⃣ Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) reduces mortality, improves function, and enhances quality of life in cardiovascular disease. But <25% of eligible patients enroll, especially older adults, women, and those with frailty, disability, or limited access.

😱We need to do better.

[Abdulla A. Damluji, MD, PhD @DrDamluji]

🥸2️⃣ CR targets three core physiologic impairments that drive exercise intolerance in CVD: low cardiac output, impaired vascular function, and dysfunctional skeletal muscle metabolism.

😱These mechanisms are interrelated and highly prevalent in older adults. (See Figure 1)
