Pardon the pun, but I'm very excited to spill the tea on our new paper in @CircRes! This work with @MarmarVaseghiMD investigated the mechanisms of how thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA) can protect against ventricular arrhythmias after myocardial infarction (MI). 1/
We found that TEA improves electrical stability, especially in the infarct border zone but what really surprised us was that it improves parasympathetic function as well! 2/
While TEA is generally considered a pre-ganglionic sympathetic blockade, in delineating the mechanisms of TEA, we highlight a novel pathway for spinal-afferent mediated parasympathetic inhibition. Read the full paper at doi.org/10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.1…! @CircRes #EPeeps #neurocardiology
Thrilled to share that I'm now a postdoc @ Caltech! 🦫🪵 I'll be joining the Gradinaru Lab in their exciting research into Parkinson's. Thank you again to my PhD mentor @MarmarVaseghiMD for all of her excellent support and guidance! Very proud to have been your first PhD student! – at Pasadena, CA
I will be defending my PhD @uclamcip on Monday (05/16) at 11 am PDT! Thank you to all my friends, family, mentors and especially @MarmarVaseghiMD! Hope to see you there!

Is vagal nerve stimulation enough to overcome the effects of sympathoexcitation and suppress VT? Check out our new paper in press! @MarmarVaseghiMD @JACCJournals #JACCCEP
