A new echocardiographic algorithm provides accurate classification of left ventricular filling pressure, reducing indeterminate cases, particularly in patients with preserved ejection fraction. @SNagueh ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…

Thank you @DrMariaBustillo & @WCMAnesthesia for an outstanding visiting professorship. Such an honor sharing knowledge & discussing ideas. Great experience meeting with the exceptional faculty, leaders & trainees. And always such a pleasure seeing friends! #anesthesia #TCD

Check out our 🔥🔥@AHAScience statement on updated indications for intraop TEE & clinical outcomes, with multidisciplinary experts 🫶🫀!! @scahq @ASE360 @ShorelslShore @nicoa002 @bfaloyeMD @RichardSheuMD @WMillerHance @timothyDMB @kibelani @EGarciaSayan @WCMAnesthesia

Published today in @CircAHA, Considerations of Intraoperative Transesophageal Echocardiography During Adult Cardiac Surgery. Here are three things to know: Although intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is increasingly important in cardiac surgery for monitoring, decision-making, and improving clinical outcomes, current society guidelines have not been updated with the latest evidence on its benefits. Intraoperative TEE use has been shown to improve outcomes and reduce mortality in high-risk cardiac surgery patients, particularly those undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), valve, and aortic surgeries. Intraoperative TEE use is cost-effective while reducing long-term complications after cardiac surgery and lowering health care costs. ✍🏼 @lisarongmd @shorelslshore @kibelani @bfaloyeMD @EGarciaSayan @timothyDMB @WMillerHance @nicoa002 @RichardSheuMD

Recent RCTs support a shift in guidelines: AVR for asymptomatic pts with severe AS. Note this commentary with Drs. Lindman and Braunwald. Aortic Valve Replacement for Asymptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis jamanetwork.com/journals/jamac…

A decade well spent 😉🥰 @WeillCornell @WCMAnesthesia

WE ARE RECRUITING! Join our highly sought after BJA editorial fellows programme. Gain a behind-the-scenes perspective on the academic publishing process & develop mentored experience with science communication. Deadline 1st December 2024. #editorial #fellows #mentorship

It was an incredible experience to be on the writing committee for the 2024 ACC/AHA Perioperative Guidelines, released earlier in September 2024. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI… Here is a thread featuring major takeaways from the new Perioperative guidelines. (from perspective of a cardiologist) #ACCAHAPerioperativeGuidelines #AHA24 We have a session at #AHA24 on Monday, Nov 18th, 8 am. Please plan to join.

I got my own plaque! The experience was amazing preeenting for the #CVSA. Hope I can present more works next year! #AHA24 #AHA2024 #scientificsessions
