I still remember my 1️⃣ time taking care of a post-TAVR 👨as a MS3. It led me to consider 🫀 as a career. Today, as a first year 🫀 fellow, I had the honor of listening to a brilliant, patient-centered advocate and pioneer in AS, Philippe Genereux at our AHN_CVI Grand Rounds.

Great night seeing our TRIUMPHS mentors Matthew Simpson, MD #Kojo #Kingsley supporting Gateway Medical Society National Medical Association pipeline program “Journey to Medicine” #DrMadison

Landmark PERSEVERE trial announced European Society of Cardiology 2024 RCT for high risk massive PE: large bore thrombectomy vs standard of care. Mortality 20-30% with standard of care 1 past RCT in this group with only 8 patients. The “Golden Era of PE RCT” continues! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

This is incredible. Long overdue. RCT data in high risk PE.

Shock care is challenging but recognize the phenotype matters! ▶️ Compensatory mechanisms ▶️ Chance for recovery ▶️ Reasons for hypoperfusion/organ damage ⭐️ Stratifying patients early allows us to determine the best treatment strategy

First up at the 2024 Western PA Cardiogenic Shock Symposium - AMI Cardiogenic Shock. Babar Basir ⭐️ECLS-Shock ⭐️DanGer Shock, our first + MCS trial in shock patients. A guideline changing trial ⭐️Shock phenotype is of utmost importance ⭐️The system/protocol/team matters!

Lessons from #DANGER #NCSI #ECLSSHOCK by Babar Basir Henry Ford Health 1. Shock phenotype matters 2. Shock is high risk/high reward 3. Community hospitals are on the front lines of shock #WesternPACardiogenicShock PA Chapter, ACC AHN_CVI WVU Medicine UPMC

Pittsburgh Cardiogenic Shock Symposium. UPMC, AHN and WVU combining to provide education to 250+ on CS management. Jeff Fowler Manreet Kanwar Karthik Catalin Toma, MD UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute #cswg #waronshock

Only path forward on #waronshock is to work with your colleagues in community, focusing on early recognition #GoldenDayOfShock Gavin Hickey Khue Ton Shashank Sinha, MD, MSc, FACC, FAHA, FHFSA Babar Basir Ak Ricky Hansra, MD 🫀 Katherine Wood Karthik

excellent talk on Massive PE by Ak — here were some of my takeaways! 🫀 outcomes remain bad with current guidelines (30% mortality)👎🏼 🫀 current guidelines recommend thrombolytic therapy as a class Ia recommendation — based on a SINGLE RCT of 8️⃣ patients..WOOF! 🐶

Packed house for the Western PA CS symposium. Wonderful work being done by so many friends Manreet Kanwar Ak Priyanka Ghosh, DO Karthik Akshay Khandelwal MD MBA Gavin Hickey Catalin Toma, MD, we are moving the needle in CS care #NCSI #CSWG #DangerShock SCAI Now @scaielm Henry Ford Hospital Cardiology Fellowship

Another excellent Western Pennsylvania Cardiogenic Shock symposium today. Great content. Excellent discussions. Happy to see all the efforts being put into improving systems of care for cardiogenic shock patients in the Western PA región. #waronshock #shockisinDanger

Lots of wonderful discussion on CS care. Ak discussing PE-Shock, should be reverse guideline priorities? Triston B.B.J. Smith MD MGM FSCAI gave great insights on how centers need to balance multi-disciplinary teams & balance workload. Jeff Fowler Raj Ramanan share UPMCs team approach!

We’re looking for a VP! Come work with me and #DrSteveBailey as we support the thousand team members of AHN_CVI that impacts $1B for AHN, and let’s make health care in Western PA/Western NY/WV truly REMARKABLE. Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield highmarkhealth.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/highmark/job/P…

Not a controversial opinion at all. We have moved in that direction AHN_CVI Acute PE is a cardiovascular disease. Intermediate and High risk PE is treated with similar pathways such as NSTEMI/STEMI ramzi khalil md Manreet Kanwar Akshay Khandelwal MD MBA Mike Nestasie

♥️Honored to have Dr. Edward Fry , past president of the ACC, speak to us about the importance of addressing Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) in preventing ASCVD events. Just in time for the ACC legislative conference too! #CardioTwitter
