Excited to announce that we are looking to grow our HF family by adding a full-time HF/HTx/MCS cardiologist here at USC! It will involve a leadership role in growing HF care at our partner hospitals as well as contributing to our AHF/MCS/transplant services. DM me if interested!

Cutting edge and an excellent read! I highly recommend!

Following the 2018 UNOS policy change, the rates of #HTx for higher acuity patients increased while the risk of rejection and treated rejection decreased over time without impacting the risk of hospitalization for rejection and infection. @ajay_vaidya ๐Ÿ”—: jhltonline.org/article/S1053โ€ฆ

โฆ@ABIMFoundationโฉ please reply here so we all understand what these MOC fees get us. Paying the >$3,000 to pass the general and interventional cardiology recert exams isnโ€™t enough for you. Please explain why. No answer assumes greed. We will all waitโ€ฆ

#HFinductiontherapy is as important as cancer induction chemotherapy- HF is as deadly as cancer is and HF GDMT improve outcomes. Initiate quadruple HF therapies as induction therapy and then consider add-on therapies as consolidation therapy in HFrEF. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jchf.โ€ฆ

Smoking kills- through heart attacks, strokes, emphysema, and cancer. So we encourage patients to quit cigarettes. Handgun ownership dramatically increases the risk of dying by suicide. So why donโ€™t we encourage patients to quit handguns?

This one hits too close to home. Thank you to my lovely wife @AdrianaDiaz for highlighting the burden of CV disease in Black ppl solutions to this disparity: only 3% of cardiologists are black! @DrBrider @NMHheartdoc @QuentinYoumans @shirleneobuobi @KBreathettMD @American_Heart
HEART MATTERS: Even though 80% of heart disease is preventable, it remains the leading cause of death in the United States, and Black Americans are twice as likely to die from the disease than White Americans. However, fewer than 3% of cardiologists are Black.

Expanding donor pool and organ utilization with OCS "heart in a box". Traditional heart ischemic times are ~4h. This heart came from across the country w 10hrs outside body. Fantastic job by @FiedlerAmy, @JasonWSmithMD, @LiviuKlein and HF team. UCSF did 3 OCS and 10txp this mo.
