Very excited that my thesis work was just published open-access in @NatureCVR! doi.org/10.1038/s44161… I explore the role of fat versus scar in post-infarct #VTin3D in a combined two-center clinical and computational study! #ablateVT #EPeeps #CardioTwitter 🧵

Graduation ceremony: hooding two of my PhD students @rohara94 and @EricSung9. A great celebration of their achievements! @trayanovalab

A highlight from #AHA23 – presenting our work on the risk stratification of ventricular arrhythmia. Grateful for the chance to be part of the collective effort advancing cardiovascular research. #WIC #CardioTwitter

Check out our latest publication in HeartRhythm! 📰 We explored the connection between myocardial fat and ventricular arrhythmias in patients with ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. Join us in uncovering new insights in cardiac health!🫀 #CardioTwitter @hopkinsheart

Association of Epicardial and Intramyocardial Fat with Ventricular Arrhythmias, by @Maryam_Mjrd and colleagues heartrhythmjournal.com/article/S1547-…

What an honor for my artwork to be on this month’s cover! Read more about the role of fat infiltration in #VTin3D!

Our October issue is out! Read about spatio-temporal transcriptomic in viral #myocarditis, #estrogen and #bone angiogenesis, intracellular K+ channels and #arrhythmias, maintenance of adult #endothelium and more! nature.com/natcardiovascr…

A new study 📑 by @Dr_Nazarian_EP et al investigated the role of inFAT versus scar in VA through clinical & mechanistic computational studies, determining inFAT as a dominant player in infarct-related #VA. Read about their findings ➡️ spr.ly/6016MiLzG #Arrhythmia #EPeeps

She recently sat down with Th Hub to discuss a new discovery: fat intermingling with scar tissue is the driving force behind the development of heart rhythm disturbances. hub.jhu.edu/2022/10/06/stu…

You can learn more about the exciting work @JHUBME PhD students, like Gakenheimer Fellow @YingnanZhang6, do with @trayanovalab and the support they receive below! giving.jhu.edu/story/engineer…

Just out in Circulation: PVS can improve risk prediction on top of the ARVCrisk.com risk calculator. NPV is 93% if calculated risk < 25%. A great team effort lead with @gasperettimd @RTCarrick @ASaguner ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…

Thank you ⁦@HopkinsEngineer⁩ for featuring my work! instagram.com/p/CjnxgJTqRG6/…

Research|@EricSung9 et al. show that infiltrating #adipose tissue, as opposed to scar is the main cause of infarct-related ventricular #arrhythmias. @trayanovalab @NTrayanova @JHUBME @HopkinsEngineer @JohnsHopkins nature.com/articles/s4416…| 👉rdcu.be/cXe7C

A new study from @NTrayanova, @JonChrispinMD, and @Dr_Nazarian_EP IDs fat inside the heart as the primary cause of #arrhythmias in heart attack patients — and envisions new treatments for heart rhythm disorders. The results are published in @NatureCVR. hub.jhu.edu/2022/10/06/stu…

Today in @NatureCVR! We examine the role of penetrating fat in #arrhythmias post-infarction.

Please also see very exciting work by @LingyuXu5 @Dr_Nazarian_EP at @PennCardiology diving deeper into the biophysics of inFAT vs. scar! jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

And there you have it! We showed that inFAT in infarcted hearts plays a major role in #VTin3D arrhythmogenesis by slowing conduction in critical VT sites. This means that #ablateVT for post-infarct VTs should be focused primarily on these areas with inFAT. Thanks for reading!
