@DrDamluji Congratulations brother! Incredible news!!

[Vikas Singh MD FACC FSCAI @vikmd1026]

@VPrasadMDMPH Shameful but unfortunately very popular practice in “academic” medicine.

[Vikas Singh MD FACC FSCAI @vikmd1026]

Senior investigators, academic cardiologists take note. Promote your fellows/residents/students. Let them shine! That’s real mentorship.

[Mamas A. Mamas @mmamas1973]

Also kudos to @rallamee very few senior investigators would have given the opportunity to their fellow to present the study at the AHA. She also had her other three Research fellows sitting in the same room as the Interview so they could get exposure to interviews by Press.
This is what more senior investigators should be doing - investing in the next generation

25-point summary in am report: (they are short sentences 😱)

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

In summary, the pharmacologic Rx for HFpEF starts with SGLT2i:

+/- loop diuretics
+/- MRA
+/- ARNI
+/- ARB (cannot take ARNI)

Will continue with thread # 6 starting from #49: Non pharamcologic Rx and Mx of multiple chronic conditions.

Sorry for many threads.

@michaelpflaher3 Recently encountered “friable leaflets” and had to abort after the first couple of grabs. Leaflet would start to breakdown with strands of tissue coming off soon after dropping the grippers. Patient wasn’t a surgical candidate. Started hemodialysis and he has done well.

[Vikas Singh MD FACC FSCAI @vikmd1026]

@michaelpflaher3 😳

[Vikas Singh MD FACC FSCAI @vikmd1026]

@michaelpflaher3 Arms look more open than usual. What was the mechanism of first clip failure?

[Vikas Singh MD FACC FSCAI @vikmd1026]

@michaelpflaher3 In hindsight, the valve motion is little off. Not moving much. Which wire was used to cross? Gone through a leaflet?
