Anytime I see a small PDA , to me it looks like a small flame 🔥 and I instantly start thinking about the song “like a moth to flame burned by desire…” . I have no idea why I do this. #achd ❤️🩹🎶🎤

The IABP isn’t perfect. It’s not Impella. It’s not ECMO.
But it still helps a lot of patients when used thoughtfully.
Timing, positioning, augmentation, weaning. There is art to IABP management. And that skill still matters, even in the era of shiny mechanical support devices.

Imaging today has been busy - adult with uncorrected sinus venosus ASD. Adults with dilated right ventricles without explanation should nealry always undergo evaluation for an intracardiac shunt #ACHD ❤️🩹

#CCT imaging for #singleVentricle anatomy always brings challenges. Here js a nicely timed contrast study showing layered thrombus in the #Fontan ❤️🩹

Nice example of “Himalayan” p waves on ecg in a pt with Ebstein’s anomaly. P waves were tall enough that the ecg double counted as qrs and claimed ventricular rate was 120 bpm! #ACHD ❤️🩹

The #ACHD work force remains a major issue. #ACHD fellowship training, with concomitant issues like physician reimbursement and the job market are in some ways intertwined. Not an easy conundrum to solve where the pipeline is limited and stems from both @ABIMcert @ABP @WGACHDChair @ISACHD @ACCinTouch

Great piece by @wesyin on the impact of the One Big Beautful Bill (OBBA) on the health care market and small business. OBBBA allows Marketplace premium subsidies to lapse resulting in major premium increases for small business and their employees. briefingbook.info/p/how-cuts-to-…

My #ACHD patients often ask about ways to reduce triglycerides. A meta-analysis of 13 randomized controlled trials found that protein supplementation significantly reduced triglyceride levels #NIH - pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27026427/
I prefer my protein shake with a banana 🍌

In #ACHD , we’ve focused so long on who needs valve surgery, a Fontan revision, or transplant—we’ve missed the bigger picture:
Cardiometabolic health matters.
Obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, inflammation—they drive outcomes, not just anatomy.

“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” Teaching isn’t just about guidelines; it’s about sparking curiosity and being part of their growth.
Appreciate the @ISHVnews fellows I’ve had the chance to work with and thank you for keeping me learning too.

Great session moderating today’s @SCMR education series on aortic valve disease. A nice tidbit: assessment has moved beyond just LV size/function. T1 mapping & LGE let us assess myocardial health in valve disease and with prognostic value earlier—before dysfunction sets in.

Transitioning in early adulthood from great pediatric cardiology care to #ACHD care is as important as the initial surgeries themselves.

The @US_FDA approved updated #COVID vaccinations . The guidelines for approval are controversial given the limited patient scope. But one thing is clear - every single adult with repaired or unrepaired congenital heart disease is eligible for vaccination. #ACHD ❤️🩹

A new article from the @US_FDA compares broad U.S. recommendations on Covid vaccination with those from other countries and announces the adoption of an evidence-based approach to such recommendations. Read the full article: nej.md/3F6EIhV #IDThreads

Unroofed coronary sinus with persistent LSVC is rare but important to recognize. If you inject agitated saline from the left arm and see bubbles enter the left atrium via the coronary sinus, suspect this defect. It’s a clue you don’t want to miss. #ACHD ❤️🩹
