Humbled to receive the Nevada ACP Governor’s Chapter Service Award!
Truly didn’t expect this. My focus has always been simple: supporting colleagues, driving research, and expanding medical education.
Grateful to @ACPIMPhysicians Nevada leadership and my peers. Onward! 🩺❤️

Need a small RCT with a digoxin strategy for acute HFrEF. It’s sometimes tough to disentangle the effects of acute digoxin loading from vasodilator titration, but anecdotally there seems to be a benefit - particularly in new onset HFrEF in “shocky” patients and chronic patients not candidates for advanced therapies (oftentimes coupled with deprescribing beta blockers)
@maz_hanna
In a series of 10 low-output HFrEF patients, IV digoxin loading and vasodilator titration were associated with increased median cardiac index from 1.45 to 2.70 L/min/m² at 24 hours; all four on IV inotropes were weaned off. Time for an RCT with digoxin in low output HF.

I built an interactive echocardiography tutorial with Claude Code.

🔥Outstanding analysis and perspective by Dr. Mandeep Mehra in JACC HF on AHTC Fellowship training in US
🔥’AHFTC crisis is not a referendum on the intellectual appeal or clinical importance of HF medicine; it is a verdict on the design of fellowship and early-career proposition’
🔥Many parallels outside AHFTC as well
🔥Early leadership concept will be challenging since it needs to consider those mid career future leaders-in-waiting in the leadership pipeline

Does the flu shot protect more than your lungs?
New episode of The Heart of Prevention: Dr. Keerthana Pakanati @Kpakanati3 sits down with Dr. Alison Bailey @a_l_bailey to unpack the growing link between influenza and cardiovascular disease, including what the cardiovascular analysis of FLUNITY-HD reveals about heart failure hospitalization risk.
They dig into where flu vaccination might fit alongside statins and antihypertensives in the preventive cardiology toolkit, how to think about high-dose vs. standard-dose vaccination in older adults, and what evidence gaps remain.

Check out some of the highlights from #ASPC2026! 🎉
The weekend was packed with insightful speakers, fascinating new research, engaging discussions, and—most importantly—a wonderful community of colleagues coming together to prevent cardiovascular disease.
Thank you to everyone who made ASPC 2026 such a memorable event.❤️

Kicking off our #Rural CV Care conference with @docsok99 and a keynote from Dr. Larry Rhodes—a true legend in rural health care @WVUKids sharing what he’s learned in his career. Some of the best wisdom I’ve heard and makes me proud to be a Mountaineer! 💙💛

In patients with #AFib and intermediate stroke risk, direct oral anticoagulation led to a lower risk of stroke, systemic embolism, major bleeding, or death from cardiovascular causes than no anticoagulation. Full SINGLE-AF trial results and Research Summary: nej.md/4ii61XB
#ESCCongress
ALT This image contains an excerpt from the Research Summary "Anticoagulation for Atrial Fibrillation with Intermediate Stroke Risk" published in the New England Journal of Medicine. It includes a visual representation of a patient with atrial fibrillation and an intermediate risk of stroke. Patient demographics are detailed as 1803 adults, average age of 60 years. The bottom half contains illustrations of the two treatment options: direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) therapy or no anticoagulation. A prompt to read the full Research Summary at NEJM.org sits at the bottom.

#ASNC2026 starting!
Great to see so many old friends and connect with new ones.
It’s been a monumental effort to plan this meeting with @PaulCremerMD and @roxanacampisi over the last year. Couldn’t have done it without the help of Kelly and Michelle from @MyASNC.
Hope you enjoy what we’ve put together!

🫀2026 ESC心不全ガイドライン、ついに公表。
2021年版＋2023年アップデートから「かなり」変わりました。まず要点だけ👇
✅️HFmrEFが消滅。HFrEF＝LVEF <50%、HFpEF＝LVEF ≥50%の2分類に
✅️MRAとSGLT2阻害薬がLVEF問わずClass I（HFpEFでは非ステロイド性MRAも可‼️）
✅️GDMTをFMT（基盤治療）とAMT（追加治療）に再定義、デバイス/カテーテル治療はGDIT
✅️肥満合併HFにセマグルチド／チルゼパチド（IIa）が初登場
✅️M-TEERがClass Iに格上げ
✅️心臓リハビリと緩和ケアがClass Iに
✅️ATTR-CMにvutrisiran（silencer）が推奨に追加（Class I A）

Reminder 🩺 New CardioCore Lecture: Hypercortisolism — Recognizing a Hidden Driver of Cardiovascular Risk
Wednesday, August 26, 2026 | 6:00–7:00 PM EDT
Some patients keep facing hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and accelerated CV disease despite optimal risk factor management. Hypercortisolism may be an underrecognized, treatable cause.
Join Dr. Jorge Plutzky @jplutzkymd (Director, Preventive Cardiology, Brigham and Women's Hospital) as he covers the pathophysiology, clinical features, and cardiovascular consequences of hypercortisolism — plus when to suspect it, how to screen, and referral pathways. Moderated by Dr. Charles German @DrGermanMD (Georgetown University).

📉⚡ Early + complete GDMT = best outcomes
The four pillars work fast 🚀 and work best together 🛡️
Simultaneous/rapid sequencing to all four components of quadruple GDMT at 🎯 doses (as well tolerated) should be the standard of care for all

•Rare: Sarcoma (rapid growth, invasion), lymphoma (immunocompromised)
Left ventricle
•Thrombus (post-MI, low EF)
•Fibroma (kids)
•Rare: Lipoma, metastatic disease
Right atrium
•Thrombus (catheters, AF)
•Metastasis (lung, breast, renal)
•Rare: Primary cardiac lymphoma, angiosarcoma
Right ventricle
•Thrombus
•Sarcoma
•Rare: Rhabdomyosarcoma (peds), metastatic melanoma
Valves
•Papillary fibroelastoma (small, mobile, embolic)
•Rare: Lambl’s excrescences (benign but confusing)
Pericardium
•Metastatic disease (most common overall)
•Rare: Mesothelioma, pericardial sarcoma
Multiple chambers / infiltrative
•Metastases
•Rare: Amyloid pseudotumor, inflammatory masses
📌 Clinical pearl:
Rapid growth, invasion, or effusion = think malignant, even if imaging looks “benign.
