Happy, relieved, and extremely grateful! 😊

Our first-year fellows celebrating warmer weather, becoming senior fellows soon… and finally seeing a better call schedule on the horizon 😅☀️ #ACCFIT #CardioTwitter

OPTIMAL suggests that using IVUS in unprotected left main PCI may cost you 22 minutes with no clinical benefit. One might think it’s an outlier. Yet, the same day, IVUS-CHIP reports no advantage of IVUS over angiography in complex high-risk PCI. Either we have been fundamentally misinterpreting the evidence so far, or we urgently need to reconcile these data. #ACC26 nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Diastolic vibration of the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve as a result of aortic regurgitation (Austin Flint).

Alcohol ablation & LAD PCI after TAVR for latent obstruction. Have done these increasingly as AS HCM CAD seen together with age, along with PAF. And yes I redirected that wire 😊. Older frail patients cannot realistically come back for CMI visits plus often not approved. @mirvatalasnag @djc795 @DLBHATTMD @Allison_Dupont @adityadoc1 @YChatzizisis @ChetRihal @psorajja

Gotta be honest, it’s hard to beat a great alc ablation result. Off beta blockers, using any meds we want for HTN, not worrying about pre-op clearances or EF drops - just annual well visits. Numbers have gone down just like myectomy in CMI era but clearly a role #HCM

Standard angiographic views are used to visualize different segments of the coronary circulation

Fantastic, must-read statement on how to do RHC the right way in patients with HF or PH. RHC is an art, it’s not just a glorified CVL and a lot of information that can help patients can be obtained. Congrats @MarkBelkinMD @UCCardsFellows ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/HH…

Honored to join @JAHA_AHA Early Career Editorial Board starting January 2026. Grateful for the opportunity to learn the editorial process and contribute to high-quality cardiovascular and arrhythmia research. #CardioTwitter #EPeeps

Anticoagulation for post-STEMI LV thrombus This randomized comparison of rivaroxaban vs warfarin, paired with a prespecified pooled analysis of available RCTs, showed similar LVT resolution with #DOACs and no excess major bleeding, with pooled data suggesting numerically favorable outcomes for DOACs. #EIJBestOf #cardiotwitter #STEMI #Thrombosis eurointervention.pcronline.com/article/direct… @yasjenab @psadeghipour @bbikdeli @Drroxmehran

Presented at #AHA25: In a meta-analysis of 17,801 patients with myocardial infarction and preserved LVEF (≥50%), beta-blockers did not reduce death, MI, or heart failure over a median 3.6 years of follow-up. Full results: nej.md/43U5Ppo @AHAScience

Great presentation by our very own @HarisPatail at @SCAI first event in NY! Thank you to @SrihariNaiduMD for arranging an amazing evening! @WMCCardsFellows

The Queen of Hearts Late-Breaker from #TCT2025 was selected by @TCTMD as one of the Top 10 News Stories for October 2025!

Seven years after we introduced OMI, the flagship Journal of the European Society of of Cardiology finally seems to be recognizing OMI. Although the ECG patterns that they mention are not at all the most important. HyperAcute T waves, and ST depression in V1-4 are among the most important. But the queen of hearts is better than anything. @PMcardioApp

🔥 TCT Late Breaker in @JACCJournals: Are you ready for STEMI (OMI) networks 2.0? Queen of Hearts #AI reduces false activations by 5-fold while increasing sensitivity using only initial #ECG at triage!

Somewhat more controversial. Does small amounts of creatine supplementation help or hurt? It’s all the craze but is it safe? @nymedcollege @WMCHealth @IvorDouglasMD @dlubarskymd @DrMarthaGulati @DBelardoMD @purviparwani @JamalRanaMD @LifeTime_Life @Medscape @EllauziRama @ladyheart_md @CathWhisperer @ImranAziz96 @HarisPatail @ABaliMD @TommyBeer @KnicksCentral @GeneParkNY @scooperpr medscape.com/viewarticle/cr…

@SrihariNaiduMD @WMCCardsFellows @crfheart @HarisPatail Haha, will be ready for a redo of this at the end of three years then! 😅

@ImranAziz96 @WMCCardsFellows @crfheart @nymedcollege @seiiwaiEPmd @HarisPatail @DrFuisz @PragyaRanjan @JasonKatzMD @GiorgioMedranda @ameeshisath @ABaliMD @TanyaSh112 @SwatiChand_ Yes that’s why it’s a 3 year fellowship! 😂 you’ll learn cardiology too dw!

Being silly with the fellows @WMCCardsFellows presenting their research at @crfheart #TCT2025 @nymedcollege @seiiwaiEPmd I’ll take them to dinner tonight too. Ironically I have more time to spend with them at conferences than at work! Make sure to have fun 😊
