Happy to report that our work on building foundation models for Cardiac MRI has finally been published in Nature Biomedical Engineering! @natBME https://t.co/XKUY0WT0IL

[Stanford Cardiothoracic Surgery @stanfordctsurg]

Hot off the press! ✨ New paper looking at a generalizable deep learning system for cardiac MRI🫀. Led by @StanfordMed @HiesingerLab researchers and collaborators.✨ @Penn @UCSF @rohanshad @cyrilzakka @dhamank24 @mrudangm14 @StanfordDeptMed @StanfordVasc https://t.co/xRWnefvZBR

I wrote an app using Google AI Studio that calculates how much oversized or undersized a TAVR valve is based on native valve area or perimeter. I know nothing about coding.

Beyond thrilled to match at @ColumbiaCTSurg for Cardiothoracic Surgery!! This is an absolute dream come true, and I am so grateful for all my mentors who have supported me on this journey! @ArnarGeirssonMD @mori_md @MarcPPelletier @YaleCardiacSurg

[Sam Hoenig @HoenigSamuel]

Over the moon to be heading west to Seattle to join the @UWCTSurgRes family!

Grateful to my mentors @karamlou and @Dr_HaniNajm for fostering my passion for cardiothoracic surgery and for the privilege of caring for these patients.

[Michaela Asher @asher_michaela]

An absolute dream come true! I couldn't imagine a better team or place to train with! Unbelievably grateful and excited!

@pennsurgery #MatchDay2026 ❤️🫀

At @nyulangone @nyugrossman, we get to build real-world healthcare AI from the ground up! Awesome work by the brilliant @lavenderjiang99 @ekoermann.

[Lavender Jiang @lavenderjiang99]

We built Lang1: a 100M–7B family of models specialized for hospital operations.
After finetuning, Lang1-1B outperforms generalist models up to 671B, transfers to unseen tasks and another hospital, and is more data-efficient.
🧵Why small specialists win in healthcare.

#EditorsChoice This study performed left ventricular outflow tract modification in patients with an increased risk of systolic anterior motion. Read the results from Loulmet, Grossi, and coauthors👇

Great paper by @kgrace_phil & co @nyulangone. State of the art review of cardiac xenotransplant.

[Circulation @CircAHA]

This review explores the current advancements in xenotransplantation, ongoing challenges, and discuss its future potential in addressing the growing demand for donor organs in cardiac transplantation. @kgrace_phil @NYULangone @PedsLiverTxp @DanielWolbrom https://t.co/F7NWOyxiZs

[AATS @AATSHQ]

Congratulations to @stephchangmd for being selected as a Pioneer in healthcare on the #TIME100Health list for her modernization of the double lung transplant. Dr. Chang spoke about her experience during #AATS2025. (Recordings coming soon). https://t.co/e4QLqDagu8

You would expect international STEMI registries to drive quality improvement.
Unfortunately, incorporation bias leads many to mistakenly believe STEMI is a solved problem—yet patients who are missed never even make it into these registries!
Great editorial on this topic by @matt_bivens

[Daniel Alber, MD @dalber_]

@RPancholi19 @MGHNeurosurg Proud of you man! Congrats!

If LLMs are destined for patient-facing tasks, we must evaluate them through that same lens!

[Nature Portfolio @NaturePortfolio]

A paper in @NatureMedicine reports that large language models can be manipulated to generate misinformation by poisoning a small percentage of data on which they are trained and presents a harm mitigation strategy. https://t.co/CRQwy6jn6R
