Friends. It’s 2024 and the interns are still holding the beta blocker on admission.
Sometimes medical education is like screaming in the subway. Loud, repetitive, completely ineffective. 🆘 @MKIttlesonMD@gcfmd
What a wonderful opportunity to have @JJheart_doc visit @CardioUva and teach us about biomarkers and heart failure. Thank you Jim! @uvamedicine@UVACVRC
Happy to share our position paper from the ESH WG on Small Arteries. If you want to learn more about vascular inflammation, this is the right paper for you🔥❤️👇https://t.co/K8V5A4n1uq A special thank to F. Rios and A. Virdis! @HyperAHA@CTECresearch@Unipisa
Da medico "stagionato", vedere dopo una terapia la completa regressione di un tumore metastatico è l'apparizione di un prodigio.
Decenni di vita che di colpo si aprono per il malato, che forse non è più malato.
Una volta era Lourdes, oggi è scienza.
E qualcuno ci sputa sopra.
There is nothing quite like match day. This is the only photo I have from my match day (taken with the first phone camera in existence, apparently). Congratulations everybody! Take plenty of non-blurry pictures!
This bench study suggested that BVF performed after ViV offers the largest haemodynamic benefit without any long-term trade-offs in terms of THV performance or structural valve damage. #EIJBestOf https://t.co/AjAuV59O33
I received a beautiful gift from Dr. George Beller @CardioUva today - a picture of Ms. Ruth C. Heede who established the endowed professorship that Dr. Beller and @ChrisKramerMD held before me. @UVACVRC
Can we clear arterial atherosclerotic plaques?
The ACC.24 Late-Breaking Clinical Trials have been announced. My highlight is the large, phase 3, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled AEGIS-II trial, a study of CSL112 (apolipoprotein A-I) infusion in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Cholesterol efflux, mediated by apolipoprotein A-I, removes excess cholesterol from atherosclerotic plaque and transports it to the liver for excretion. CSL112 increases cholesterol efflux capacity.
A target sample of >18,000 participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive 4 weekly infusions of CSL112 6 g or placebo, initiated prior to or on the day of discharge and within 5 days of first medical contact.
The primary outcome is the time to first occurrence of the composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke through 90 days.
Why do I find it so interesting? AEGIS-II will be the first trial to formally test whether enhancing cholesterol efflux can reduce the rate of recurrent major adverse cardiovascular events.

This prospective, observational, all-comers study describes the real-world management of patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis in a population of nearly 3 million Northern Europeans in the context of the latest European guidelines for the treatment of valvular heart disease. https://t.co/dnnPApeGYe
