Dr. Heval Kelli is a former Syrian refugee, now part of the #COVID19 response in the community that welcomed him years ago.
Thank you Dr. Kelli for sharing your story with me. You're living proof of the power of inclusion- and how refugees & migrants can be part of the solution.

Time matters after AF recurrence.
In the study by Wang et al Heart Rhythm 2026 (Diagnosis-to-Repeat Ablation Time), earlier repeat ablation (≈0–12 months) was associated with higher 12-month freedom from AF/AT than waiting years.

Yesterday, Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.
Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressional mandated. They've saved millions of lives. 🧵

We didn’t open the door—but we must keep it open.
The Civil Rights Movement didn’t just change America for one group, it created opportunities for ALL of us—immigrants, refugees, and future generations.
We stand on their shoulders. Now, it’s our turn to keep the door open.

Full house listening to @hevalkellimd Important talk mentioning #islamophobia #racism dishwashing and being a cardiologist! Proud of this Syrian Kurdish advocate for #refugee health. You have to watch “refuge”; a story about fear& love in the American South #NARHC2022

Over 1 year as a cardiologist, I learned:
- Mindful leaders are the key to success
- Being kind as a consultant will gain you the highest respect among your colleagues and staff.

Something must be wrong with #medtwitter
Asking people to wear a mask to prevent an infectious disease is NOT the same as my Muslim mother wearing hijab because of her religion.
