I made this video to show my students why we need elastic arteries. It’s called the Windkessel effect and is the reason why we have a diastolic blood pressure >OmmHg #MedEd #MedTwitter #FOAMed #CardioTwitter #heart

ICYMI: “In our population comprising 50 patients with a systemic right ventricle, treatment with sacubitril/valsartan was found to be safe, resulting in a steady clinical and echocardiographic improvement" Circ: Heart Failure #cardiotwitter healio.com/news/cardiolog…

Integrating social determinants of health helped mitigate bias when predicting long-term outcomes for heart failure patients, according to a Northwestern Medicine study published in Circ: Heart Failure. spr.ly/60153HUqS

In this Q&A, Stanley Hazen, MD, PhD, spoke with Healio about how a metabolite measurement could potentially predict HF, how drugs and diet changes might be able to help and the future of the gut microbiome in CVD Cleveland Clinic MD Circ: Heart Failure #cardiotwitter healio.com/news/cardiolog…

Great thoughts Mark Drazner. IMO unfortunate if #HFCardiologists not attending in ICU to model rational use of vasoactive meds and Tx of cardiogenic shock. This is where I have most influence on learner’s careers.#HFTrainingChat

Contractile function, not EF? Anyone? Published today Circ: Heart Failure Great work by Anthony Peters, Adam DeVore, MD, MHS and colleagues Duke Cardiology with important lessons for all of us managing patients with HF and "good" EF! EF might be normal, but is contractility? ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…

I love to publish scientific work Circ: Heart Failure that leads to new hypotheses, unique research questions and spurs more science. Thanks to my colleagues UAB Cardiovascular Institute for exactly that. Why are women getting LVADs not doing as well as men? More research is needed!

My privilege to attend this important workshop HF Collaboratory U.S. FDA. Empowered in my role as a #DMC member, and learned so much about best practices and expectations as a committee member. Thanks Mona Fiuzat Christopher O'Connor Dave Demets and Barry Greenberg for this opportunity!

Talented HF professionals like Dr. Verma are the future HFSA. Looking forward to working with the Women's Committee and advancing #womenincardiology

Like every issue Circ: Heart Failure all the editors have created a great, interesting June issue. Packed with transplant vasculopathy, sex disparities in care and outcomes, biomarkers of HCM with a young investigator contribution and great images! #heartfailure #greatscience

And an active comparator arm that we know has efficacy. I think people continually ignore that all sac/val trials were conducted against active comparator arms. #NoPlacebo

Fantastic experience in Chile meeting #LatAm heart failure docs and learning from new colleagues. Indebted beyond words to Vanessa Blumer, MD, FACC for coordinating some amazing sight-seeing in Chile and all the fun and companionship. HFSA well represented by this trio!
