@SarkisPatrick @HMethodistCV @HMHCardioFellow Congratulations Patrick!!

Honored to receive the Advanced Fellow Overall Excellence Award from Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center. Incredibly grateful to my mentors and colleagues for their teaching, guidance, and continuous inspiration. @HMethodistCV @HMHCardioFellow

🎉ASNC is excited to announce that Mouaz H. Al-Mallah, MD, MSc, MASNC, will deliver the Mario S. Verani Memorial Lecture at #ASNC2026. His lecture, “From Perfusion to Precision: Charting the Future of Nuclear Cardiology in a Multimodality World,” will examine the evolving and essential role of nuclear cardiology in today’s increasingly multimodality-focused cardiovascular imaging landscape.  👉 bit.ly/4njgPVL

#ACC26 Attending & presenting our original research at my first in-person ACC was an early 2026 win. Incredibly grateful to our mentor @almallahmo and all @Almallah_Labs teammates @HMethodistCV

Extremely grateful to share that I matched at @MethodistHosp for Internal Medicine training. Truly thankful to my incredible mentor @almallahmo for his guidance and unwavering support, and to the entire Houston Methodist family for their trust and support. This wouldn’t have been possible without Dr @WilliamZoghbi @HeartToProve @ mahmoudalrifai Excited to continue learning and growing with the Methodist community! #Match2026

Great case presentation by our research fellow @MariaAlwan_ 👏 Rb-82 PET showed normal perfusion, but F-18 flurpiridaz PET unmasked LAD territory ischemia ; highlighting the superior resolution and diagnostic sensitivity of F-18 imaging. @MyASNC

Always a great time at #ACC, where I get to reconnect with old friends and mentors, and make new ones.

Honored to attend my first #ACC2026 conference with a moderated poster on MFR & secondary prevention 🚀 Proud to be part of an exceptionally productive team 🙏 Grateful to my mentors for their continuous guidance and support @HMethodistCV @ACCinTouch

@jad_zeitoun @MethodistHosp Congratulations Jad!!

Grateful and excited to share that I matched into Internal Medicine @MethodistHosp and will be staying in Houston! Thankful to my mentors, family, and friends for the constant support. Looking forward to the journey ahead 🙏🏼 #Match2026 #InternalMedicine

Dream Team🌟

@IzzaShahid_ Thank you Izza!🤍🤍

@HudaElMais @umkcIM Congratulations Huda!🤍

I’m thrilled to be joining the cardiology family at UF Gainesville!! 🫀🐊 Couldn’t have done it without the support of my incredible mentors, family and friends! @umkcIM #UFCardiology #CardioX #MedX

@Mhamad8azal @UMiamiHealth @UMJMHCardiology Congratulations Mohamad!!

Super happy to share that I have matched at the University of Miami @UMiamiHealth @UMJMHCardiology for cardiology fellowship. Feeling grateful for all the support from my family, friends and mentors. Excited to be moving to a warmer weather after almost 3 years in the north!🫀🏖️

Wrapping up Day 2 with a series of very interesting case-based discussions 🫀✨ Highlighting the role of: • PET for viability in ischemic cardiomyopathy • PET FDG in non-ischemic cardiomyopathy • PET in ANOCA • PET for transplant vasculopathy Incredible insights from all presenters and panelists! @AabuzaidDr @m_alfawara @MyASNC #CVNuc #ThinkPET

@docHJ @AabuzaidDr Our pleasure!

@MariaAlwan_ @AabuzaidDr Thanks for sharing

Great talk by Dr. Aljizeeri on the incorporation of MBF into routine practice and its impact on patient outcomes 🫀 Key conclusions: 🔹 MBF & MFR are robust tools for evaluating chest pain and help explain symptoms in patients with or without obstructive CAD 🔹 MFR provides prognostic value across the full spectrum of cardiovascular disease 🔹 Should be integrated into clinical decision-making when evaluating patients with chest pain @MyASNC #CVNuc #CVD #ThinkPET

Starting Day 2 of Nuclear Cardiology Now: Middle East with an exciting session by Dr. @PanithayaC on ¹⁸F Flurpiridaz PET MPI 🫀✨ Key highlights: 🔹 Superior image quality: high spatial resolution, high count statistics & excellent contrast resolution 🔹 Residual activity subtraction avoids flow overestimation & restores defect severity 🔹 Adoption barriers: cost, infrastructure, training needs & reimbursement limitations 🔹 Pathways forward: regional distribution, standardized protocols, expanded training & equity-focused implementation Exciting momentum for the future of ¹⁸F PET MPI! @MyASNC #CVNuc #ThinkPET #CVD

Excellent overview by Dr. @falbadarin on advances in cardiac amyloidosis imaging Key conclusions: 🔹 SPECT (+/– CT) with demonstration of myocardial uptake should be standard ; planar-only imaging is not sufficient 🔹 Always rule out plasma cell dyscrasia 🔹 PET tracers hold strong promise in overcoming limitations of 99mTc-based imaging @MyASNC #CVNuc #CardiacAmyloidosis

RT @AabuzaidDr: PET/CT is a powerful tool for diagnosing infective endocarditis, especially in patients with prosthetic valves or devices,…
