Epic @ahascience Fellows Society night w/ best of the best ✨teaching about trials & tribulations of AI in Cardiology! @ACCinTouch President @Drroxmehran : “at the end of the day patients want you to look into their eyes, feel your stethoscope on their chest and hear your voice” So maybe…@PierreEliasMD & @ExtraStim @ppsengupta1 shared… the point of #AI is not just to increase efficiency but rather to increase the time & space for empathy & human connection! Congratulations to the graduating & incoming board for 2026-2027! Incredible legacy of a program founded by #ValentinFuster over 35 years ago!

The American Heart Association mourns the passing of the legendary cardiologist Eugene Braunwald, M.D., widely recognized as one of the most influential figures in the history of cardiovascular medicine. Over seven decades, his work reshaped the understanding and treatment of heart disease, leading many to call him the father of modern cardiology. Braunwald was a lifelong contributor to the American Heart Association, helping advance its research and scientific mission, and was honored with some of the Association’s highest honors for his lasting influence on cardiovascular care and research. His influence extended well beyond his own discoveries, as generations of Association‑supported investigators, clinicians and academic leaders were trained by Braunwald or guided by the clinical trial standards and mentorship models he helped establish. newsroom.heart.org/news/amer…

We couldn't finish #AHA25 without the Council on Clinical Cardiology student outreach program on the last day! This year, we partnered with the amazing Greater New Orleans #STEMGoesRed team to bring middle & high school students to the meeting for an immersive experience!
