An honor to hear from our Division Chief, Dr. Priscilla Hsue, during one of the final grand rounds of this academic year! She highlighted the powerful intersection of HIV immunology, inflammation, and CVD, and her growing body of research is absolutely fascinating! #mentorship #meded #uclahealth

A shoutout to future @uclaimchiefs #harveensekhon & @uclaCVfellows #bruinhearts @psrajendran87 for leading this @JACCJournals #acc26 simultaneous pub for ⏫ ICI myocarditis awareness...& a rare phenotype of ♥️shock 2/2 RV failure, confirmed by RHC, echo and autopsy. #cardioonc
#JACCCardioOnc case highlights delayed recognition of biventricular ICI-M w/ predominant RV involvement & fulminant cardiogenic shock. It underscores long-term vigilance, early immunosuppression, & awareness of atypical presentations. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacca… #ACC26 #JACCCardioOnc

This paper is what motivated me to design a ECG-Echo-endocarditis correlation lecture #echofirst for @uclaCVfellows Another illustration—literally—how cv anatomy all fits together ❤️ #bruinhearts
A classic: timeless JAMA illustration of aortic and mitral valve vegetations invading the his-purkinje system. This valvular – conduction system anatomic proximity is why we get serial EKGs in patients hospitalized with infective endocarditis 🏥
