    Severe AS can progress rapidly & unpredictably from asymp. to advanced symptoms. Age/biomarkers/cardiac damage/LV health can’t predict its outcome. I’m teaming up w/ @EdwardsLifesci to get the word out: Prompt referral upon diagnosis can be lifesaving—regardless of pts’ symptoms.
    A white background with maroon text that reads, “25% of asymptomatic patients under watchful waiting required AVR within 6 months due to symptom onset.” A bar line illustrating 25% lies below the number. https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa2405880 PP--US-11862 v1.0

    My patient’s dog died a few months ago and he stopped walking. He hasn’t gotten a new dog because his wife was worried that she would be left alone to take care of it. I wrote this Rx and told him to tell his wife that it’s my job to keep him around #DogRx #ExerciseIsMedicine

    Starr Edwards ball and cage valves in aortic and mitral positions. Amazing that the cage struts and balls are still intact after 40+ years! #CardioTwitter

    We did CPR and defibrillated this patient 29 times, got him on ECMO in ED and brought him to cath lab for PCI. He survived! uclahealth.org/u-magazine/hea…

    Public unawareness of physician reimbursement - shocking the discrepancy between how much people think we get paid vs what we actually get paid. @richardschatz @CCIJournal onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1002/…

    11 yrs ago today my father died from pancreatic cancer. I was cleaning my office and saw the Braunwald’s he got for me during 1st year fellowship. 1) His favorite bible verse Philippians 4:13 2) God gave you 2 ears and 1 mouth. Listen twice as much as you talk #TipsForNewDocs

    It’s interesting that we hear about the doctors that have died but what about the nurses, respiratory techs, and other frontline healthcare staff? Are they not dying too?

    101 yo 👵🏻 with severe aortic stenosis, mildly symptomatic referred for #TAVR. I asked what she wants to do: “Let’s leave it alone” Patient speaks, I listen #HouseOfGod Law #13 The delivery of good medical care is to do as much as nothing as possible
