@ACHA_Heart @ACHD_SanDiego @UCSDCardiology

I started the ACHD program @UCSDHealth 8 years ago with one of the most remarkable, experienced, and compassionate nurse - Maria Moceri. She is retiring after handing off the baton to our nursing team. Our patients, community and institution are forever indebted to her.

Thank you, #CSI-America, for the opportunity to represent the ACHD community in this awesome meeting. Cool new devices and therapeutics!

Happy holidays, team ACHD! Hard to believe it’s been 7 years since this program began (with me and our amazing senior nurse, Maria, kicking things off!). So proud of the innovation and dedication that continue to serve our community every day. @ACHD_SanDiego @UCSDCardiology

“Great turnout at the #ACHA Walk 1 for 100 from all over SoCal! Proud of our @UCSDHealth team representing us so well! More 250+ walkers! @ACHA_Heart @UCSDCardiology @AHA_Research @ACHD_SanDiego

Thank you #SaudiHeart24 for inviting me to talk about collaterals in patients with #Fontan. Great sessions and cutting edge care. @SHA_media @UCSDHealth @UCSDCardiology

Don't miss yesterday’s @KPBS Midday Edition! 🙌 Thank you to Dr. Laith Alshawabkeh and Jessica Vargas-Miranda, co-chair of the San Diego Walk For #1in100, for shining a light on congenital heart disease, the gender gap in heart disease, and the effects of long COVID. 🎧 Listen now: bit.ly/4dqLZnH #CHD

@ACHD_SanDiego @AHAScience @ISACHD

Thank you @KPBS for hosting us and for spotlighting 1 in 100 people with #CHD and the role of the @ACHA_Heart at promoting awareness and advocacy for #ACHD patients. Join us October 13th at Liberty Station for Walk for 1 in 100!

We now have an #ACGME accredited fellowship in #ACHD at @UCSDCardiology! DM me if interested. This is prime time for #ACHD; rapidly growing population, ample job opportunities in virtually every city in the US, and tremendously rewarding field. @ACHA_Heart @ACHD_SanDiego

@ralogon @MayoClinic @alexvdbruaene This is an excellent study and the authors should be commended for obtaining PAWP with exercise. This confirms clinical experience that PAWP is where MOST of the problems lie in Fontans (not the pulmonary vasculature). #Fontan. @sasha_opo @ACHA_Heart

CPET and hemodynamics in Fontan: 🔹⬇️ peak HR, peak VO2, and % pVO2 associate with worse hemodynamics 🔹Peak VO2 ≤19.1 ml/kg/min or ≤48% predicted ▶️ ΔPAWP/ΔQs ratio >2 mmHg/l/min and/or a ΔPA/ΔQp ratio >3 (S:81%; E: 76%) @MayoClinic @alexvdbruaene sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
