Many thanks to American Heart Association for the opportunity to present my first poster and to Don Lloyd-Jones for the exceptional mentorship! Looking forward to attending #AHA #ScientificSessions for years to come! #AHA23 #Cardiology #NHANES



Dr. Walker on 1) Cumulative & 2) Change in cardiovascular health in young adulthood—lifetime CVD #EPILifestyle24 AHA Science #SoMe Northwestern Medicine James Guo Jamal Rana, MD Don Lloyd-Jones


Jean C. Bikomeye, PhD, MPH Medical College of Wisconsin Pepper Institute on Aging and Public Policy Hokyou Lee, MD, PhD, FAHA Mr. Jim Walker from Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine evaluated CVD risk related to cumulative Life’s Essential 8 (LE8) score - Having higher cumulative LE8 score and greater improvements (slope) in LE8 over time -> lowest CVD risk - 1-point increase/yr in LE8 associated with 38%⬇️ hazard of CVD


Filled with new ideas and fresh energy after #EPILifestyle24! Honored to present two studies on cardiovascular health, one at the podium! So grateful for a mentor like Don Lloyd-Jones who devoted hours giving #sagely feedback and always encourages/inspires my curiosity and science.


Had a blast at #EpiLifestyle24 giving my first oral presentation! Takeaway: Change matters. #CardiovascularHealth improvements in young adults may reduce risk of #CVD. Big thanks to AHA Science for having me and to Don Lloyd-Jones and my coauthors for the support. Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine #LE8
