Thrilled to be sharing our approach in managing CV risk among athletes using anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) Given AAS increasing use amount recreational athletes, it's important to understand the relationship between AAS and CV risk A thread🧵 acc.org/Latest-in-Card…

Well designed RCT shows patients randomized to an exercise program had substantially improved survival after adjuvant chemotherapy for colon cancer. - 5 yr disease-free survival 80.3% vs 73.9% (HR 0.72) - 8 yr overall survival 90.3% vs 83.2% (HR 0.63) This is groundbreaking! 1/

Excited to share our published review on AAS 💉 use among recreational athletes and CV🫀risk. Particularly given recent announcement of ‘Enhanced Games’ which encourage PED use such as AAS. Huge thanks to @DrPRao for ongoing guidance/support. journals.lww.com/co-cardiology/…

For those interested in sports cardiology and genetics, below are insights based on last 100 referrals (~60% sports/40% genetics) (Over the past year @BidmcCvi I’ve been seeing athletes with cardiac conditions and caring for patients in the CV genetics program led by @UTahirMD) 🧵

@DrPRao @RobGersztenMD @BidmcCvi @BIDMC_Research Congrats Prashant! Fantastic news!

Been a busy few months, but excited to share that NIH/NHLBI K23 award was funded! Looking forward to advancing translational research in sports and exercise cardiology 🙌 Very grateful to mentor @RobGersztenMD More on the grant👇 bit.ly/42HRfS2 bit.ly/4cg5krF

📢Can deep phenotyping and proteomic profiling identify new #biomarkers in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy? 🧬In @CircHF, we leverage OLINK #proteomics to measure >250 proteins in genotype positive #HCM with Cardiac MR data. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI… 🧵 (1/7)

4 weeks of the arm in a cast: -22% strength 🏋️‍♀️ -4% muscle mass 💪 However, these changes can be offset by resistance training 🏋️‍♀️the opposite arm 3 times per week: journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.11…

🫀Does exercise intensity or duration impact heart health more? A study shows longer exercise duration at lower intensity is linked to higher coronary artery calcification, while higher intensity reduces it Balance your workouts to maximize benefits ⏳🏋🏻 academic.oup.com/eurjpc/article…

We had a great turn out at this year’s annual fellow welcome BBQ hosted at our program director @JoeKannam’s house last weekend!

@DrPRao @BIDMCVFellows @UTahirMD @caitlin_finnn @BidmcCvi @DocStrom Huge thanks to @UTahirMD and @DrPRao for the guidance!

Highlight of @BIDMCVFellows is the weekly Clinical Case Conference @SeanPMeagher presented a series of young athletes with DSP cardiomyopathy seen in our Sports Cardiology & Genetics clinic Terrific discussion of these challenging cases with leading experts in imaging/EP/HF etc

New @ACCinTouch: @SeanPMeagher speaks with Dr. Braverman about dilated aortas in athletes. 🔹Defining aortic ‘dilation’ 🔹Prevalence in athletes 🔹When to consider genetic testing Excited to see the rise of future Sports Cardiology 🌟@BIDMCVFellows! bit.ly/4gkjCKu

CV Sports Chat: Dilated Aortas in Athletes 🏃🏻 New @ACCinTouch #SportsCardio interview with the expert, Dr. Alan Braverman, who shares his approach to this common clinical scenario Nicely done by @SeanPMeagher acc.org/latest-in-card…

As part of their welcome to BI, our first year fellows were taken out to sushi dinner with our chief of cardiology & program director 🍣 One of the best things about being a BI 🫀 fellow is how engaged in fellow education our division leadership is! @RobGersztenMD @JoeKannam

Happy orientation day to our new F1’s! We’re so excited to welcome you all to BI! #July1

Extreme exercise and longevity: detrimental or beneficial? bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/… In a retrospective study of the 1st 200 athletes to run < 4 minute miles, there was evidence of several (~5) years longer lifespan compared with the general population. Still an unsettled question, but certainly supports lack of harm

Muscle as an immune regulatory organ. It's imperative to recognise the multifaceted role of skeletal muscle beyond its traditional function in movement. This is what you need to know. 🧵
