I started the ACHD program @UCSDHealth 8 years ago with one of the most remarkable, experienced, and compassionate nurse - Maria Moceri. She is retiring after handing off the baton to our nursing team. Our patients, community and institution are forever indebted to her.

[Laith Alshawabkeh, MD, MSc @laithalsh]

Thank you, #CSI-America, for the opportunity to represent the ACHD community in this awesome meeting. Cool new devices and therapeutics!

[Laith Alshawabkeh, MD, MSc @laithalsh]

Happy holidays, team ACHD! Hard to believe it’s been 7 years since this program began (with me and our amazing senior nurse, Maria, kicking things off!). So proud of the innovation and dedication that continue to serve our community every day.

We now have an #ACGME accredited fellowship in #ACHD at @UCSDCardiology!
DM me if interested.

This is prime time for #ACHD; rapidly growing population, ample job opportunities in virtually every city in the US, and tremendously rewarding field.

@ralogon @MayoClinic @alexvdbruaene This is an excellent study and the authors should be commended for obtaining PAWP with exercise. This confirms clinical experience that PAWP is where MOST of the problems lie in Fontans (not the pulmonary vasculature).
