Original Research: Is the physical exam still relevant? In #ARIC acute HF surveillance, combined physical exam findings (edema + JVD + rales) more prognostic for HFpEF than HFrEF. ow.ly/Wjyo50HMXlY #AHAJournals Melissa Caughey PhD Marat Fudim, MD MHS Abhigna Kolupoti Robert Mentz, MD Muthu Vaduganathan

Many thanks to UNC Campus Rec for hosting Spring Fling! Team CEMALB had a blast!! #tarheelsstayactive #wedowellness

As we celebrate International Nurses Day, the Renal Research Institute recognizes nurses everywhere for their perseverance and incredibly hard work under challenging circumstances, and compassion beyond measure. #nursesday #thankanurse

Are you good at tweets? @UNCNCSUBME is hiring a PR person. We have #Robotics, #Imaging, and #Wearables. Cool biomedical engineering research!

So sad to announce that Gerardo Heiss, friend and mentor, passed last night. Gerardo taught many to “think like epidemiologists.” RIP Gerardo, you were a dad to me and will be missed. I couldn’t have done it without you. #epitwitter

Great to collaborate with @UNCNCSUBME alum Vishal Rao (now a cardiology fellow at Duke Cardiology Fellows and Duke Clinical Research Institute ). Terrific work, Vishal!

Great thread on the link of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Dysautonomia/POTS. To extend on the observations some additional points 🧵: #1 EDS is commonly associated with venous abnormalities such as nutcracker physiology of abdominal vessels or May Thurner syndrome.

Just published in European Society of Cardiology Journals our work on prognostic significance of obstructive coronary artery disease in patients admitted with ADHF. A special thank you to Melissa Caughey PhD for her incredible mentorship. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ej…

#COVID patients were 45% more likely to experience heart failure within a year of being discharged than those hospitalized for other reasons, according to new research published in @naturecomms. Insights from co-author @fudimMarat ➡️ bddy.me/3R5cKDs

Joint BME is launching a hiring initiative across both UNC-Chapel Hill and @NCstate. Over the next three years, ten new faculty members will be recruited to lead collaborative, interdisciplinary biomedical engineering research.

I'm devastated the #UNC community lost a faculty member in an act of violence on campus. Carolina will move into Condition 2 - classes will be canceled tomorrow and all non-mandatory operations are suspended. Tar Heels, know that support is available. unc.live/3QWRaEe
