Nirica Borges MD

One of the best intensivist, greatest mentors and humblest human beings I know. Meet Dr Desai- he knows all there is to know about Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy in kids.

We are thrilled to announce that @TexasChildrens Heart Center has been ranked #1 in the country for the care of pediatric cardiology and heart surgery patients by @usnews, for the 7th year in a row! Congratulations to our hard-working team! More at texaschildrens.org/departments/he….

Coming Friday to Pediheart! @MountSinaiCHC @MountSinaiPeds @MountSinaiNYC @TexasChildrens @DrKeilaLopez @CHD_education @conqueringchd #MentalHealthAwareness #HealthcareForAll #MedTwitter

Excited to share our newest publication in @CircIntv - 220 children with anomalous right coronary artery, only 1% with ischemia on exercise stress test, stress perfusion imaging studies (+) in 9 vs 18% depending on presenting symptoms ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=…

@GoodishIntent Yes…….and honestly speaking in either one alone doesn’t seem to convey the same thing…..

Jacqueline Noonan characterized the eponymous #NoonanSyndrome and was involved in the 1st descriptions of #HLHS. She was recognized as one of the best doctors in America and presented with many honors and awards through her life. #glassceiling #WomensHistoryMonth #Medtwitter #WIC

@jswallisch @KjonesDO @MaritaThompson6 @kvntodd1 Love this!

@niricaborges @KjonesDO @MaritaThompson6 @kvntodd1 I love it when worlds collide. Nirica you will enjoy working with Kris. Congrats!!!!

So honored to have matched at Texas Children’s for my peds critical care fellowship! I can’t believe that this last part of the dream towards combined critical care has come true. It’s all thanks to the support from mentors @MaritaThompson6 and family @kvntodd1 ❤️❤️❤️

@ChrisCarrollMD YES. I had a really hard time with word finding yesterday and it was only day 5/7…… no problem teaching about complex arrhythmias but suddenly couldn’t recall a colleagues name….

This happen to anyone else? When I’m on service, my mental recall for things that aren’t related to patient care drops to almost zero. At lunch yesterday, I couldn’t remember a colleague’s name who I’m actively working on stuff with! Then takes a day or two of rest to recover

If you have a nose and/or lungs, or loved ones with noses and/or lungs, get your flu shot NOW. 10/10. highly recommend.

Really nice tweetorial on an underappreciated marker of tissue perfusion/CO. @BCM_PCCM
