Strong work led by @UBCmedicine resident and future @CardioUBC Fellow Dr. Liz Burden using the linked British Columbia Cardiac Arrest registry - - OHCA patients have higher rates of health care utilization leading up to cardiac arrest vs gen population #AHA24 @American_Heart

VCHRI researcher Dr. David Wood sheds light on the symptoms of heart valve disease & emphasizes the importance of regular checkups for those over 60 ❤️🩺: ow.ly/wxrl50UhI9Y @ubc_cci @VGHFdn

PPM, and VARC-3 HVD prior to reintervention. Importantly, 64% of patients were excluded for HALT/Valve Thrombus, and SIH reclassified between 25 and 53% of cases! (3 of 3) #structuralheart #TAVR #clinicalresearch #research #healthcare #THV #UBC #UBCMedicine #cardiology

The DISCORDANCE TAVR Co-investigators demonstrated that in patients with changing echocardiographic hemodynamics on follow-up > 1 month post TAVR, consider CTA to rule out HALT/Valve thrombus and Standardized Invasive Hemodynamics (SIH) to rule out discordance in MG, (2 of 3)

Dr. Amr Abbas and Dr. David Wood presented the Investigator Initiated DISCORDANCE TAVR results as Best International Science at hashtag#TCT2024 on Day 1. (1 of 3)

CCI team members were provided the opportunity to attend the third annual Accelerating Clinical Trials conference in Quebec City! The team joined 10 other clinical trial units with the intended goal of improving clinical trial infrastructure in Canada.
