Using PREMIER database - Cardiogenic Shock patients that were transferred patients were more likely to receive VAD or Transplant. While in 2017 there was higher mortality in transfer patients that difference was not seen in more recent data-2023 Joseph Ibrahim, MD UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute #ACC25

In HFpEF patients Social Determinants of Health play an important role in outcomes. Insurance type plays a huge role. 53K patients- No difference in mortality by ADI or race. Great work Abu Hurera! Jenna Skowronski UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute Pitt Cardiology PittDeptofMed

Was honored to give Pulmonary Grand Rounds today at UPMC. Truly appreciated the opportunity to discuss updates in cardiogenic shock and looking forward to partnering with the Pulmonary/CCM team on future pilots to identify early, improve outcomes and reduce complications!

Sometimes we lose. Losing sucks. Losing is hard. Winning takes patience and perseverance and grit and sometimes doing the unconventional. Losses help us learn. But celebrate the wins. Every one of the wins.
