Shoutout to the early career members of @ATS_PC! 🎉From bench to bedside, you're pushing the boundaries of pulmonary vascular science every single day. Today, we are highlighting Dr. Yogeswaran:

If you are part of the @ATS_PC we hope to see you at the Membership Meeting from 5pm to 7pm in W307 (Level III, OCCC, West Concourse) !

Are you tired of carrot sticks and long PowerPoint presentations at ATS assembly meetings? 😴 Instead, get to know your @ATS_PC community with our inaugural networking bingo and win a tantalizing 🏆! ⏰Mon May 18 5-7pm EST @atsearlycareer @atscommunity @SueGuMD

Monday 5/18 will have an easier start to the day with a single Mini Symposium session! 🌞Morning @SobanUmar @atsearlycareer @atscommunity #ATS2026

First session of #ATS2026! Excited to listen to great speakers like @AnnaHemnes speak about sex and gender in cardiopulmonary disease. Moderated by @SueGuMD @DrKaraGoss @PennMedPH @ATS_PC

We’re spoilt for choice this morning with all the #PC sessions at #ATS2026! 🤩 Drs. Al-Namaani, Saggar, and Ghofrani are keeping us on ⏰as we learn about the latest clinical trials and real-world data:

📣📣 We are SO excited that #ATS2026 is PH-inally here! If you’re presenting at or attending a PH-ocused session, don’t forget to tag us @ATS_PC so we can promote, share, & keep up with all the amazing PH happenings! 🎉🎉 @atscommunity @atsearlycareer @SobanUmar @ATS_Assemblies

#ATS2026 is finally here! As you travel & prepare, don't miss our @ATS_PC EC Working Group Roadmap - your🌟guide to all things #PH #PVD #PulmCirc! @SueGuMD @navneetsinghmd @rjbernardoMD @MaryamSanjani @RRVdpool @chansteve73 @SashaPrisco @atsearlycareer atspcecwg.my.canva.site/ats-2026-ecwg-…

#ATS2026 can be overwhelming but the @ATS_PC Early Career Working Group is here to save the day again! This roadmap is such a helpful guide to the meeting. @RRVdpool @PennMedPH @BrownPVD

📢📢 Calling all PHriends heading to #ATS2026: Don't miss this Pulmonary Circulation Networking Event -- Early/Mid-career folks particularly encouraged to attend. UT medical affairs will also be there to discuss IIS grant mechanisms and project ideas.

Awesome! Such a great resource for pulmonary hypertension related sessions at #ATS2026

Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a key determinant of outcomes in pulmonary hypertension and is increasingly recognized in other conditions, including heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathies, acute infection, critical illness, and after left ventricular assist device implantation. Therapeutic strategies are increasingly shifting toward RV–targeted approaches, such as modulation of inflammation, fibrosis, metabolism, and RV-pulmonary artery (PA) uncoupling coupling, highlighting the need for RV–specific endpoints in clinical trials. ✍🏼 @PullamsettiL @sbonnet2 @RRVdpool @Viniciodjperez 📷 Mechanisms driving right ventricular dysfunction in pulmonary hypertension.

In pulmonary hypertension (PH), chronic pressure overload can progress from adaptive right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy to maladaptive remodeling, characterized by RV dilation, fibrosis, stiffness, and RV–pulmonary artery uncoupling. This statement summarizes current knowledge on RV dysfunction in PH, emphasizing its mechanisms, clinical relevance, and therapeutic potential. ✍🏼 @PullamsettiL @sbonnet2 @RRVdpool @Viniciodjperez

@sbonnet2 @SashaPrisco @jasonhongFC @3CPRCouncil Yes, we definitely miss you guys. And it would seem there are a lot fewer people here this year.

@SashaPrisco @jasonhongFC @3CPRCouncil This sad for AHA 😢

Provocative discussion at #AHA25 on “Inflammation in Preclinical vs. Clinical PAH” — exploring whether inflammation is a true therapeutic target or just a bystander in PAH. @3CPRCouncil

@3CPRCouncil is excited to welcome you to NOLA for #AHA25! There are lots of great events! Please also check out the posters, sim sessions, distinguished scientist lectures, & early career investigator competitions! @sarahmperman @jasonhongFC @KadijaHersi

@YuanjunS Good luck!

What an experience in submitting my first R01! Sincerely appreciate all the support from my collaborators, colleagues, lab members, my department and the university! My thanks also extend to my husband, my extend family and my pets❤️

The 21st Robert Grover Conference brought together investigators in Colorado to advance lung vascular biology + medicine. Since 1984, this biennial meeting has inspired cross-generational collaboration in a unique, secluded setting. 🌄🫁#groverconference
