More great work from a future leader in critical care cardiology! Safiriyu Israel M.D Edward Miller, MD PhD Yale Cardiology


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 pts post PCI low psoas muscle index (PMI) had higher mortality. Great work by Steven Hopkins Siya Bhagat Jon Zawadzki Jeff Fowler Catalin Toma Jon Wolfe Joseph Ibrahim, MD and team. UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute PittDeptofMed Pitt Cardiology


Cool data Tanmay, one step closer for AI /app based prehospital PE diagnosis PERT Consortium

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


Now out in Journal of Cardiac Failure: A prospective, multi-center registry of Impella 5.5 in HF-CS: 🔗bit.ly/4j8h171 🔑 Treatment with Impella 5.5 alone vs. multiple MCSD associated with ⬆️ survival and ⬇️complications 🔑 Patients bridged to HRT have 94% survival at 12- months




Looking forward to The ISHLT 1st ever #cardiogenicshock & joint #CSWG symposium! Both events promise to highlight the potential of 🌎 collaboration as a multidimensional platform that helps improve care for patients with advanced ❤️🩹 disease ❤️ jhltonline.org/article/S1053-… Navin Kapur
