Interesting TEE LAA Doppler. I have not seen the LAA filling wave this prominent. Color Doppler also shown. Thoughts? #echofirst @WvuCvFellows @argulian @CASivaram1 @alex1708ander @a_l_bailey @BritoCardio

Carpentier classification for AI, less commonly described. Example of type 1 c. Sinus is 5.5 cm. A subtle finding on 3 D. Can you spot it? #echofirst @WvuCvFellows @CASivaram1 @argulian @a_l_bailey @BritoCardio @harshi_md

Any underlying MV or AV disease? An extreme case example here 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.jccase.201…

One view - what is the MR severity and why? #echofirst @WvuCvFellows @harshi_md @BritoCardio @CASivaram1 @argulian @alex1708ander

Now, this is a Left atrial appendage device associated with thrombus formation. Thrombus appears to be predominantly recent given the echolucency and heterogeneity. Plan… continue anticoagulation 😬 @sudarshanballa @havistin @a_l_bailey @harshi_md @ASE360 #echofirst #TEE

"Freedom is not something we wait for, but something we become. It is a deliberate, personal choice, and the sum of those choices forms the civic ethos that must be renewed every day." The photo depicts 2025 peace prize laureate Maria Corina Machado signing the guest book at the Norwegian Nobel Institute, joining the ranks of other peace prize laureates who have left their mark. Machado missed the Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony by a few hours, as her travel to Norway required a secret departure from Venezuela. After a difficult journey, she was able to arrive in Oslo, appear on the balcony of the Grand Hotel – where peace prize laureates traditionally greet the public, and visit the Norwegian Nobel Institute.

2(may be 3)extracardiac findings - can you identify? #echofirst @WvuCvFellows @harshi_md @CASivaram1 @argulian @cardiooncCMB #ACCFIT

Congratulations to our fellowship match! Can’t wait to work with you all!

Way to go!

Evolving strategies in cardiovascular disease prevention: 2025 American society for preventive cardiology highlights @AJPCardio @ASPCardio @analyzeF @DrMichaelShapir @FaRodriguezMD @SethShayMartin @DrMarthaGulati @RonBlankstein @DLBHATTMD @NMHheartdoc sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Dear structural, interventional, and preventive cardiologists attending AHA – excited to present my poster on cardiac rehabilitation after transcatheter mitral valve repair. Looking forward to great discussions on optimizing post-procedural care and outcomes!

It’s a wrap on AHA 2025! Good catching up with friends and colleagues and learning from the latest trials.

This is a truly historic moment. The results from this pivotal trial evaluating a fully percutaneous transcatheter mitral valve replacement technology has opened a new treatment option for patients who are not good candidates for surgery or TEER. This is a remarkable milestone that will not only transform the field of interventional cardiology but, most importantly, will change the lives of countless patients who have been waiting for a viable treatment option. Slides presented as LBCT #TCT2025 today and link to our manuscript published @TheLancet today are included. Thank you to all the people who worked with us for a decade to make this happen! @DVDaniels @MayoClinicCV authors.elsevier.com/a/1l-xy…

Initial testing choice between coronary CTA and stress testing for suspected CAD showed no difference in all-cause or cardiovascular mortality among patients with stable symptoms. ja.ma/47fvIlE

In patients with chronic coronary syndrome taking oral anticoagulants, adding aspirin led to higher risks of cardiovascular events, major bleeding, and death from any cause than anticoagulation alone. Full AQUATIC trial results and Research Summary: nej.md/45AU4Wp

TEE in structural heart interventions #echofirst 👉 This study evaluating the use of TEE in transcatheter structural heart disease interventions has shown a higher rate of major complications than with TEE used in other settings doi.org/10.1016/j.jacc.2020.…

This is what we do at St Joseph Hospital. We are committed to excellence and evidence-based Medicine for the care to our patients. First year application, awarded! Thanks to our team at St Joe @WestVirginiaU @wvumedicine @BadhwarVinay @RameshDaggubati @sudarshanballa George Sokos
