Honestly best part of SCAI Now #SCAI2024 is seeing former fellows I’ve trained. If you trained with me please come tonight for casual drinks. Thanks Giorgio A. Medranda MD, FACC, FAHA, FSCAI Jayakumar Sreenivasan Dmitriy N. Feldman, MD for setting this up. Quick pic here with Atul D. Bali, MD from Westchester Medical Center Cardiology Fellowship Abdul Moiz Hafiz

Contemporary TAVI reduces death by more than half at 1 year.

And patients vastly prefer it.

The burden of proof is on surgical valves to outperform TAVI in the long term, not the other way round.

Congratulations to Mohamed Labedi, MD, FACC, FHRS محمد رافع لبيدي and the EP team on the first pulsed field ablation at MemorialHealthIL !! Proud moment for SIU Cardiology, SIU Medicine SIU Medicine_IM and the central IL community!! Abdul Moiz Hafiz Tony DeMartini Momin Siddique SIU Cardiology Fellows Mukul Bhattarai

My opinion on the use of MCS has been the following since #NCSI
1. Routine use in AMI-CS (routine doesn’t mean 100%)
2. Selective use in HF-CS
3. Highly selective use in HR-PCI
4. Limited to no role in AMI w/o shock (I have never placed an MCS to “prevent” CS).

My personal take to the new board based on what we know now:

👍direct response to ABIM charging high fees, perceived double dipping, lack of accountability (tone deaf), overreach (choosing wisely and other irrelevant campaigns to mission of certification), changing rules…

Great work ⁦Srihari S. Naidu, MD⁩ ⁦Ivan Hanson⁩ George Hanzel⁩ and team ⁦Beaumont Health⁩ putting this live proctoring course together (and that too without industry support). Small groups, great faculty to learner ratio, plenty of didactics ⁦HCMA - Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association⁩

It has been an honor serving the IllinoisACC chapter with you as our governor over past several years AnnabelleVolgman MD. You did good work, listened, provided helpful insights and were always supportive. Thank you.

Thank you Drs Sunil V. Rao and Akhilesh Sista. Hopefully we can wrap up this very important trial soon & finally get the much needed outcomes data about contemporary PE management! Very encouraging to see strong recruitment across sites and we can’t wait to get to the finish line!

Thank you Akhilesh Sista for the opportunity & including us in the PE-TRACT RCT! It’s been a great learning experience for our entire team here at SIU Medicine SIU Cardiology Fellows Abhishek Kulkarni Mohsin Salih MemorialHealthIL

2 landmark VTE trials ECLIPSED major milestones on this auspicious day! Congrats Abdul Moiz Hafiz and the SIU team for enrolling PE-TRACT participant number 100, on the same day that C-TRACT enrolled number 200.

ULTIMATE DAPT: only one antiplatelet 1 mo onwards needed post PCI in this practice changing trail (Ticagrelor) in study population. #ACC2024 congratulations Gregg W. Stone MD and investigators.

DANGER SHOCK first randomized trial showing benefit from impella in cardiogenic shock in STEMI patients. #ACC2024

REDUCE-AMI TRIAL: landmark trial- no difference in groups in this trial reassessing role of beta blockers in the modern era in patients who had a recent MI. Practice changing trail. #ACC2024

SMART trial comparing SEV and BEV - impressive findings. No difference in mortality but marked difference in valve dysfunction. More women studied. Better hemodynamics at 12 months could mean better valve durability in small annuli over time American College of Cardiology #ACC2024
