So proud of rising 🌟 @AliyaIzumi, giving 👏 presentation on 🌐 distribution of women in cardiac surgery at #EACTS2024. At 8% 🌐, women are severely underrepresented in 🫀 surgery, but @AliyaIzumi @gracelee_lsh & coauthors are helping create an equitable & more inclusive future.

#CVD is the leading cause of mortality. Despite ⬆️ need for tertiary care *AND* 🌐 disparities, surgical/interventional voices are scarce at #HealthPolicy fora. In #JACCAdvances, I share some ways for #HeartTeams to 📶 (inter)national policy engagement: jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

The 77th World Health Assembly #WHA77 @WHO kicks off soon. Despite costing 20+ million lives yearly & 6 BILLION PEOPLE without access to #GlobalCardiacSurgery, 🫀 care = absent on #GlobalHealth agenda. It's time to come together. @AliyaIzumi @MimiXDeng: impact-surgery.org/index.php/pub/…

Two years ago, I drafted this 75-tweet #GlobalCardiacSurgery thread for #WHA75. Today, it remains ever so relevant. 👇

Dominique Vervoort@DVervoort94

Today marks the start of #WHA75! This week, @WHO, Ministries of Health, civil society, & more will discuss #GlobalHealth priorities. Missing on agenda? #GlobalSurgery & 🫀 care. Hence, I'll be sharing key points, papers, & developments in #GlobalCardiacSurgery in 75 tweets 👇

Exciting to see @THINK__AORTA grow around the world, including more and more #LMICs! Thoracic aortic disease burdens are growing 🌐, yet care capacity & awareness are trailing in LMICs. ⬆️ research, capacity-building, & financial risk protection are 🔑: jtcvsopen.org/article/S2666-…

#GlobalCardiacSurgery volumes are poorly defined but far too low to meet 🫀 disease burdens. Volume targets can guide policy and planning to 📶 cardiac surgical capacity 🌐. In @annals_short, we propose targets by country income group & disease burdens: annalsthoracicsurgeryshortrep.org/article/S2772-…

Disparities in access to 🫀 surgical care = expressed differently across populations. 📶 access requires efforts at intersection of individuals' multiple identities & traditions. @MedHums_BMJ, we redefine #GlobalCardiacSurgery w/ intersectionality lens: mh.bmj.com/content/early/…
