So much more to learn from the #DECAAFII trial. How can we create durable scar on diseased atrial tissue, especially on severely fibrotic atrium. Waiting for #DECAAFII sub-analysis Mario Mekhael Nassir Marrouche Nazem Akoum Abdel Hadi TulaneTRIAD

Eiran Gorodeski, MD, MPH HFSA Andrew J Sauer MD Anu Lala (Anuradha Lala-Trindade) Max Jacob Liebo Minnow Walsh, MD, MACC Ryan J Tedford MD Robert A. Montgomery @DrMoniqueR Number reason is likely compensation. Additional year of fellowship then making less than general cards honestly. That is the reality.

Eiran Gorodeski, MD, MPH HFSA Andrew J Sauer MD Anu Lala (Anuradha Lala-Trindade) Max Jacob Liebo Minnow Walsh, MD, MACC Ryan J Tedford MD Robert A. Montgomery @DrMoniqueR Is it time to rethink how we train heart failure physicians? Do we need 3y of general cardiology? Or can we re-structure for a combined 4y program with more focus on Critical care skills, ITV skills? Etc HFSA Mark Drazner Jason N. Katz Andrew J Sauer MD Ryan J Tedford MD @IRajapreyar

My view as a program director and (former) economist: its supply/demand. 71 matched applicants is probably appropriate for the number of VAD/TXP jobs available. Fellows don't want to do an extra year to practice non "advanced" HF. They are shifting to imaging and crit care.

Need HF Cardiologists -not just Advanced HF. Probably need tracks1) General HF cardiology ( HF systems, cardiomyopathies, preventive HF) 2) Invasive Critical care HF ( shock, icu care etc) 3) Advanced HF cardiology( End stage, VAD and transplant). Mark Drazner

Juan Lopez-Mattei, MD Amit R. Patel Hena Patel MD Shuo Roderick Tung Great work Amit. The use of cmri in my opinion is still under utilized even amongst cardiologists. We must continue to educate, advocate, and lead for optimal patients outcomes.

Intracardiac mass mimicking the aortic valve.

Unpopular opinion: I think bedside patient care is losing its appeal. More docs turning to “lucrative” alternatives. Burnout is impacting everyone.

Be honest. How many PCIs did you perform during your interventional fellowship?

Many clinicians fall for the allure of making a Dx purely based on imaging findings. A very important message that needs dissemination.

Obesity, Preserved Ejection Fraction Heart Failure, and Left Ventricular Remodeling mdpi.com/2283576 #mdpijcm via JCM MDPI Just wanted to share our most recent review article on obesity and HFpEF, a growing issue across the nation particularly in Louisiana

John Mandrola, MD It looks like they chose slightly healthier patients for the ablation group?

Check out our latest subanalysis of the #DECAAFII trial. Single lead smartphone ECG monitoring during the blanking period has a lot to tell us: estimated AF burden in the first 90 days is a good predictor of ablation outcomes. doi.org/10.1016/j.jace…
