Providers, if you didn't do a full nutrition assessment, do not provide nutrition recs,even if you think it's harmless, even if you have good intentions. Genuinely very tired of having to override doctors' random diet advice made in passing that is unquestionably contraindicated.

Key Trials in Cardiovascular Intervention ▶️FREEDOM Trial ▶️COURAGE Trial #CNC2022 @DeBakeyCVedu

Adult Congenital Heart Disease necessitates specialty care! 👉Similar defects can be very different 👉outcomes are better at comprehensive centers with access to specialties familiar with congenital disease including surgeons, cardiologist, and radiology #CNC2022 @DeBakeyCVedu

Pearls from Dr. Valeria Duarte ▶️Incidence of Adult Congenital Heart Disease is increasing ▶️Suspect in patients with arrhythmias at a young age, RVH, pulmonary hypertension, cyanosis, reported murmurs, hypertension at a young age, or sternotomy scars #CNC2022 @DeBakeyCVedu

Catheter-Based Mitral Valve Therapies with Dr. Sachin Goel 👉There are over 4.6 million patients with > 2+ MR 👉Only 55 thousand mitral valve surgeries annually 👉👉HUGE clinical unmet need for non-surgical treatment options for mitral valve regurgitation #CNC2022 @DeBakeyCVedu

⏺️COAPT trial randomized 600 patients 1:1 to mitral Clip + GDMT or GDMT alone ✔️Procedural success 98% ✔️95% had reduction of MR to grade 2 or less ✔️With newer generation clips, 95% patients see improvements of MR to less than 1+. #CNC2022 @DeBakeyCVedu

#CNC2022 @DeBakeyCVedu Valvular Heart Disease with Dr. Michael Reardon ▶️2020 ACC/AHA Guideline for the Management of Patients with Valvular Heart Disease: Executive Summary ▶️More TAVRs performed in the US than all other aortic procedures combined

The PARTNER Trial with Dr. Michael Reardon, Cardiovascular Surgeon @DeBakeyCVedu #CNC2022 ▶️In extreme risk patients, 20% survival benefit with TAVR ▶️the rate of composite death, stroke, or re-hospitalization at 1 year was significantly lower with TAVR than with surgery.
