We've all heard this story.
A person goes for a stress test to ‘check their heart’ and is told they ‘passed with flying colours’.
The following week they have a heart attack.
How is this possible?
Here's how.

We are very thrilled to share lovely photo of the Worldwide No. 2 patient implanted with the HeartMate 3 LVAS while celebrating her “9th HM3 birthday” among her beloved ones. Extremely encouraging promise for both patients and our global mechanical circulatory support community!
Too proud not to share. 5 K this morning with my son and father. And BOTH of them placed in their age group! 3 generations on the pavement today. We were hoping to be the first to register too but it looks like one person beat us to the number 1 :)

DCD transplant may be the way of the future. One of many ways we are trying to address the shortage of donors for cardiac transplant. Very interesting and promising results.

🚨Incredibly impactful data on DCD outcomes🚨

Next greatest thing for amyloid? It sounds like it deserves the next phase of testing. Always excited for more hope for this disease.
Late breaking at #HeartFailure2023: In a phase 1 trial, NI006 had a favorable safety profile in patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy. At doses of at least 10 mg per kilogram, amyloid-load surrogates appeared to be reduced. nej.md/42FG6P6

Do all patients with PA-IVS and RVDCC need a #heart #transplant?! Thank you @Dr_HaniNajm for leading this paradigm change and allowing me to be a part of this incredible journey! jtcvs.org/article/S0022-5223… @CleClinicHVTI @CleClinicKids @karamlou @AATSJournals
Love this, I never get to put my phone on airplane mode but other than that 110% agree, good music goes a long way with echo reading too.
Have you ever wondered how to interpret a CPET? If so, look no further than this step by step guide courtesy of @gregorytgibson.

Hospitalized pt: My angiogram is at 10 AM?
Wrong: Yes, 10 AM!
Right: Well, 10 AM in "hospital time." Emergencies can happen- you might not go until early afternoon.
Prepare the patient -manage expectations.

It’s beginning to look a lot like a Florida Christmas at #UFHealth… 🎄Happy Holidays!!
Watching the #BreedersCup with my daughter today, makes me miss foxfield and Sundays at the polo fields at Kings Family in Charlottesville. What a special moment this was though.
What a storybook ending to the #BreedersCup for the connections of Cody's Wish! If you ask us, Cody's Wish did it for Cody Dorman 💜

This is a move I would have made in a video game. Can’t imagine doing this in real life! Brilliant or reckless not sure which.
UNBELIEVABLE!
@RossChastain floors it along the wall to go from 10th to 5th and advance to the CHAMPIONSHIP! #NASCARPlayoffs
Great review for anyone that does this procedure,but especially for fellows new to the lab.
