Appreciate ⁦Joe Maleszewski, MD⁩ presenting our penultimate lecture for ⁦Mayo Clinic CV⁩ #Genetic #Heart #Diseases. Great discussion about the sudden death investigation and need to merge the classic autopsy w/ the molecular autopsy. We are doing that ⁦Mayo Clinic

December 17, 1988 - Happy Anniversary to the bride of my youth. Actually can’t believe it’s been 36 years. I think time moves real slow when you are miserable and time flies when you are having fun. For me, it’s moving at warp speed 🤗🤓

MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎁🎄 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16. So so thankful for the eternal gift of Jesus!

A great way to end 2024. Stayed last night at my favorite Marriott Bonvoy and what do I find in my Marriott Hotels hotel? A picture of my favorite brothers - the Mayo brothers who created Mayo Clinic. Pretty cool 😎.

Pretty much a perfect Sunday so far. Started w/ a great church service ⁦Eagle Brook Church⁩ (check out today’s message. You will be blessed). Then, 2.5 hours of flying with son Nick. Now, waiting for the trifecta. What’s that? SKOL ⁦Minnesota Vikings⁩!! Kick off in 3 hours.

So excited to get my day started down here ⁦Mayo Clinic⁩ ⁦Mayo Clinic CV⁩ in Jacksonville #Florida. I love seeing patients on all 3 of our amazing campuses. Definitely an antidote to #burnout.

Although nonselective beta-blockers (BBs) remain the cornerstone treatment (Tx) for #CPVT, 10% of pts w/ CPVT required a BB-free Tx strategy. After careful risk assessment, safe & effective BB-free Tx strategies can be configured. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #JACCCEP Michael J. Ackerman MD,PhD

Almost had one of my life dreams come true. On my way to Mayo Clinic in #Arizona on my favorite airline Delta and who do I meet? This is my cousin Mark. He is based out of MSP. We have 4 years for one of my dreams to come true - to have my favorite Delta captain fly me.

Sounds like a great talk from Matthew W Martinez. Would have enjoyed being with you all at #ESCPrev2025. But, after a great ##EHRA25 meeting in #Vienna, thank you EHRAPresident, it is time to head home. There is just no place like home or like Mayo Clinic 🤗

Just evaluated a teenage #athlete w/ a positive #genetic test for #HCM but a normal echo. He has been disqualified for nearly one year and told by #pediatric #cardiologist - “become a couch potato, no gym class, walk slowly to catch the bus!” This has to STOP.
