Last week was momentous for @PiedmontHealth as we enrolled the first patient in the southeast US in the NIH supported PIVATAL trial. #AblateVT during LVAD implant. The collaboration/partnership between CT surgery, EP and HF at Piedmont Heart Institute remains unrivaled! #epeeps

Hard to believe our tiny transplant program went from an MPSC review to the largest program in Georgia in just 3 years. So proud to work with tremendous surgeons, Sagar Damle and @ZekeMolinaMD , and an amazing team @rsingh46143 @rsloungani Ben DeMoss, Arun Krishnamoorthy

@DrNasrien @rsingh46143 @rsloungani @ZekeMolinaMD @PiedmontHeart @PiedmontHealth Thanks Nas!!

Transplant team happy hour with the best crew @rsingh46143 @rsloungani @ZekeMolinaMD @PiedmontHeart @PiedmontHealth

Performed the first #Optrell VT RFA in a fresh LVAD a little while ago. First in the southeast USA. Here are some tips and tricks to avoid EMI with HeartMate3. @DrSGoyal_EP @deering_f @SagarDamle @ZekeMolinaMD @DoctorRTC @rsloungani @rsingh46143

With a quarter million views and 6 likes (some of which are from @ABIM employees) this takes the award for the most emotionally tone deaf tweet I have ever seen. Physicians are citing #MOC as a major contributor to burnout, & you have the audacity to promote doing MOC while on vacation? Are you just trying to troll us and taunt us now? Did you hire someone from the Onion to do your marketing? Join over 4,700 physicians in the petition to end #MOC change.org/p/eliminate-ab…

A nice example of HTX centers collaborating! How do you manage prophylaxis in CMV (R+)? A treat to work with the great TORC(HTx) team ⁩ ⁦@_adevore⁩ ⁦⁦@KeyurBShahRIC⁩ ⁦@PalakShahMD⁩ ⁦@amorrismd⁩ ⁦@mpsotka⁩ ⁦ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ct…

Exceptional growth in heart transplant volumes at @PiedmontHealth. Our team is committed to give every opportunity to patients with AHF in the Southeast. Record year for durable LVAD implants as well. @DoctorRTC @rsloungani @rsingh46143 @bendemoss @ISHLT @STS_CTsurgery @HFSA

Do I have this right? - ABIM requires yearly fees from physicians who are already cert to “maintain certification” - no evidence that MOC helps pt care - ABIM will report you as “not certified” if you don’t pay - hospitals require certification Idk kinda sounds like extortion

@YasMoayedi @KiranKhush1 @hearthealthydoc @brigittemueller @E_Rodenas @JosefStehlik @JeffTeuteberg @CircHF @DrNancySweitzer Amazing work as always @YasMoayedi . I found our next journal club article @rsloungani @rsingh46143 @ZekeMolinaMD

It took nearly 5 years - a labor of love and so grateful for the support of @KiranKhush1 @hearthealthydoc #stevefan @brigittemueller @E_Rodenas @JosefStehlik @JeffTeuteberg and @CircHF @DrNancySweitzer for elevating bit.ly/3MrYILD (Tweetorial to follow) 1/n

@cigna has abandoned the advanced heart failure patients of Georgia. We have been forced to send our patients out of state - while there are two large, thriving transplant programs in their own back yards @briankemp @andreforatlanta @DrManiCTSurgery @ZekeMolinaMD @DrDivyaGupta

Growth that saves lives. @ZekeMolinaMD @rsloungani @rsingh46143 @ISHLT @HFSA

The greatest threat to our environment may very well be the towering stacks of home health paper orders. @mpsotka @yaleHFdoc @DrNasrien @robmentz @rsingh46143 @rsloungani

What we can say about IABP is that it does not reduce mortality from shock following AMI. If you haven’t realized that different cardiogenic shock etiologies are different (including response to therapies) then you need to start rounding in the CCU

Does anyone else find the phrase “short term LVAD” disingenuous? @mpsotka @DrNasrien @yaleHFdoc @rsloungani @_lbcooper @ShashankSinhaMD @rsingh46143 @YasMoayedi @fsheikh22 @RyanTedfordMD @amorrismd

@DoctorRTC @mpsotka @yaleHFdoc @DrNasrien @RyanTedfordMD @rsloungani @rsingh46143 😂 - Hey, @DoctorRTC, we're gonna need more of these gems. Like at least once a day. You cool w that?! @DrNasrien @mpsotka @RyanTedfordMD @dranulala @DrMarthaGulati @ShashankSinhaMD @AndrewJSauer @JonathanDavisHF @vbluml

Always so relieved when my patient’s CRTD is referred to as “in situ” in progress notes. You never know when you’re gonna walk in and the device is ex situ and a bloody mess on the floor. @mpsotka @yaleHFdoc @DrNasrien @robmentz @RyanTedfordMD @rsloungani @rsingh46143
