A great time at ACC.26 in New Orleans - this time inducted as a Fellow of the ACC! Fortunate to meet with old friends and mentors and to be part of a community devoted to excellence in CV care #ITooktheACCOath@ACCinTouch
Happy National Wear Red Day (and belated National Women Physicians Day)! Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women. Unfortunately, women are underdiagnosed compared to men, delaying treatment. Help us narrow the gap! ♥️💃🏻 #NationalWearRedDay#womenincardiology@UFHealthJax
CV fellowship🥾camp of practical points 4 our new fellows ✅ today. Thx🙏 to our Chiefs, faculty, staff (#MariaVega - Sonographer extraordinaire) &sponsors. Just the beginning of 3 years of learning together @ufjaxcards@UFHealthJax@sarahchiumd@FKandah23@tanya_deol @WICACTion
I may never have this chance again but today was remarkable to talk to @FLOTUS@mariashriver@tedlieu@SecBecerra@WHRYale about Women’s Heart Health and the need for more research in this area. We must focus on the inclusion of women in research and fund this!
Tomorrow’s the big #MatchDay for #fellowship applicants! Wishing you all the best of luck! Even if it’s not your top choice, remember that it’s not the end of the world-there’s a reason for everything and you can make it the best or worst experience no matter where you end up :)
So inspired by @Joseph_C_Wu’s vision. “We are all better off when we are part of a team, especially when we all work together to do the right thing for the right reasons … because #CV disease does not care about any differences that may divide us.” #AHA23
@sarahchiumd presenting her poster under the @GoRedForWomen and Underrepresented Populations community. Women were less likely to be referred for left heart cath in addition to undergoing coronary intervention compared to men #AHA23#cardiologyfellow
Did you know that max predicted heart rate formula (220-age) is based on study of all men?
*This OVERestimates HR in women per @DrMarthaGulati study below*
⌚️Guess which formula is used for common smartwatch HR monitors? 🤔

Our former clinic #mentor and chief of #cardiology Dr. Alan Miller treated our class to dinner. He shared many stories about having met prominent cardiologists (Feigenbaum and Valentin Fuster for instance) and serving in the Vietnam War. What a #legend! @ufjaxcards
There is a big gap between #women and men receiving cardiac catheterizations, the gold standard for evaluating coronary artery disease. Women still receive fewer of these procedures. We need to make more providers aware and #narrowthegap! @ufjaxcards#cardiology#researchday
