Pregnancy-associated myocardial infarction (PAMI) is an important cause of morbidity or mortality. The mechanism varies significantly depending on the timing of PAMI occurrence, with SCAD being the most common cause in the postpartum period. #CardioObstetrics #cvMI

We'd like to congratulate Dr. Paul Gibson on his recent appointment as the new Internal Medicine Residency Program Director. His term begins June 1, 2021. Thanks also to Drs. Rahim Kachra & Stacey Hall for taking on the role of Interim co-Program Directors over these past months

Just a reminder to NOT TAKE WOMEN WHO ARE STABLE ON THEIR ANTIDEPRESSANTS OFF THEM PRIOR TO TRYING TO CONCEIVE OR IN PREGNANCY

STOP THE COUNT!

Just back from an Obstetric Medicine outreach trip to Guyana. A beautiful country! There is room for improvement (MMR~200/100,000) but they have a robust Maternal Mortality Review process and the staff are enthusiastic. Let's promote global maternal health @ ISOM, NASOM and CPP!

@leslieskeith @INVENT_VTE @canvector @RodgerMarc @MiddeldorpS ASAPP would be perfect 😉

@INVENT_VTE @canvector @RodgerMarc @MiddeldorpS MAPS: Maternal aspirin prophylaxis study ASAP study: ASA postpartum study APROPOS: Aspirin to Prevent thRombosis POStpartum Or other...?

Based on INVENT Dragon's Den feedback we are rebranding PAPS (Postpartum Aspirin Prophylaxis Study), a pilot RCT in postpartum women comparing ASA vs placebo. Help us! What should our new pilot trial be called? (See next tweet). @INVENT_VTE @canvector @RodgerMarc @MiddeldorpS

And the winner of the 2019 @INVENT_VTE Dragons' Den Competition is... the "Pilot PAPS Study"! Thank you to the three participants, our dragons, attendees, @isth for their support, and our network partners, for making this year's competition a huge success. #ISTH2019

Just completed the Top 5 of the 2018 Obstetric Medicine Literature (at #NASOM2019) by Jayson Potts, Serena Gundy and Xavier Thompson.

Great first day at the North American Society of Obstetric Medicine (NASOM) Meeting in Vancouver. Today’s themes included: future of medical genetics, exercise in pregnancy, risks of RA & dosing of ASA. #NASOM2019 nasom.org/wp-content/upl…

Superb Medical Grand Rounds today at the U of Calgary by Dr Kara Nerenberg (new Mid-Career Women’s Heart and Brain Health Chair, HSF). More research needed but Kara says intervention may reduce additional CV risk after HDP by up to 90%. @TheHSF @UCalgaryMed

@winners352 @nelson_piercy @drdjw1 @anitaobsmed @MattColeman777 @obstetricmedic @OBMedicine Agreed!!! The CanCOM group of Canadian Obstetric Internists (led by Annabelle Cumyn) included a section on OB Critical Care in our 'curriculum blueprint' for trainees: doi.org/10.1177%2F1753…, gemoq.ca/wp-content/upl… (Section 5) @OBMedicine

Obstetric Medicine needs the spotlight it deserves and a curriculum that reflects its importance. We need a well Mum to safely gestate her baby. It’s obvious. @nelson_piercy @drdjw1 @anitaobsmed @MattColeman777 @obstetricmedic @OBMedicine

Excellent session at ISOM by Saskia Middeldorp on Thrombophilias. Main points: no need to test for inherited thrombophilias in APOs (unless recruiting to ALife2 trial), unclear if Hep/LMWH add to ASA benefit in Obstetric APLA syndrome, no good data on DOACs in pregnancy or BF

At ISOM, Eleni Tsougas (CEO of the Preeclampsia Foundation, preeclampsia.org) described the Preeclamsia Registry (preeclampsiaregistry.org): a global patient-reported database of ~4000 ‘preeclampsia survivors’ and their sisters/partners.

The International Society of Obstetric Medicine (ISOM) Meeting starts tomorrow in Amsterdam. Themes of the first day include: RA and IBD in pregnancy, breast cancer, diabetes and cardiac disease in pregnancy. @ISSHP1 @OBMedicine ISOM (link: isomnet.org)
