Many, many thanks to the outstanding writing group of our ‘26 ACC/AHA/Multisociety Dyslipidemia Guideline. It was the professional honor of our lives for my Co-Chair ⁦@PamelaBMorris⁩ & me to work with this great group of Prevention Intensivists.

In December, I told you about how Trump’s Department of Education is stripping nurses of our professional status and making school more expensive. From now until March 2, we need you to raise your voice and submit a public comment: federalregister.gov/documents/2026…

🎥Today, we wear red for the women, families, and communities impacted by heart disease. #GoRedDay is a reminder that awareness saves lives and prevention is power. ❤️ If you're in red today, let us know in the comments! #Like #Share #Comment

Foresight: We know we can prevent heart disease. To get there, @ycommodore is focusing on improving cardiovascular health through community-led solutions, research, and policy partnerships that create lasting impact. Now the Director for local/global reciprocal innovation, she is determined to bring Johns Hopkins’ deep expertise and limitless possibilities home. #FocusForward

Proud to share our DAMSUN-HF study, published in Circulation! We demonstrated that an AI-enabled stethoscope can accurately diagnose heart failure in LMIC, offering a scalable tool for global cardiovascular care. 🔗 ahajournals.org/doi/pdf/10.116… #EkoHealth #MedTwitter #CirculationAHA

Yesterday we kicked off @American_Heart’s Scientific Sessions 2025 by connecting with our incredible early career professionals, hearing the powerful stories of patients, and beginning to unveil the exciting late-breaking science that is the hallmark of our international gathering. I’m so proud that we’ve once again brought together groundbreaking science, meaningful conversation, and a growing community united in our mission to be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives. Stay tuned over the next few days as we reveal even more transformative research and inspiring moments from #AHA25

Does patient provider concordance matter? Maybe. We need more robust study designs. We also need to diversify the health workforce and improve communication. @emilyswlau #AHA25

Celebrating Women in Cardiology at AHA 2025 ❤️ An inspiring afternoon at @AHAScience #WIC Luncheon, where leaders, mentors, and future changemakers came together to celebrate excellence and equity in our field.

Physical activity improves heart♥️ health but the existing guidelines are not sex specific. @DrMarthaGulati makes a strong case for sex differences in response to physical activity and fitness at #AHA25.

@ycommodore does an excellent job breaking down how women and minority groups are underrepresented in clinical trials. She emphasizes: 🫀Building intercommunity relationships 🫀Offer flexible scheduling 🫀Increased research funding #AHA25 #cardiotwitter

Dr. @modeldoc made a compelling case for assessing and addressing social determinants of health in #HeartFailure at #AHA25. @GradyHealth @EmoryMedicine

Fantastic presentation by @YulingChen20, postdoc at @JHUNursing, on the association between Shared Decision Making and Self reported health among adults with cardiometabolic disease. #AHA25
