Cardiologists increasingly encounter cognitive frailty (cognitive impairment and physical frailty without dementia). Early diagnosis and intervention could reverse its course. #AHAJournals Naila Ijaz, MD @yasserj94 Ashok Krishnaswami Michael Nanna Abdulla A. Damluji, MD, PhD ahajrnls.org/3wnLRp9




🥸How do you assess frailty in the CICU when frailty tools are mainly developed for outpatient settings? 😱We address this this question in this manuscript: 👇 Frailty in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit: Assessment and Impact: European Society of Cardiology Journals academic.oup.com/ehjacc/article…

Diving deep into frailty in the CCU: in our latest article in European Society of Cardiology Journals, we explore the impact of frailty, its assessment, outcomes and the path ahead in managing this cohort. ⬇️⬇️ academic.oup.com/ehjacc/article… Mohamad Bahij Moumneh Michael Nanna Ajar Kochar Naila Ijaz, MD


In-depth look at outcomes & interventions, to inform assessment, management, resource utilization in frail patients during/after CICU admission Review in EHJ-ACC Abdulla A. Damluji, MD, PhD Michael Nanna Naila Ijaz, MD, et al academic.oup.com/ehjacc/advance…

🥸 Interventions for frailty include: (1) physical exercise, yoga, tai chi; (2) nutrition; protein, vitamin D; (3) CGA and multidisciplinary team intervention; (4) Hormonal therapy. Naila Ijaz, MD summarized all the studies in Table 3 in JACC Journals 👇 jacc.org/doi/abs/10.101…




Congrats to our team on publishing this case of a patient presenting with cardioembolic CVA due to a right atrial myxoma. Jefferson Cardiology Fellows Thomas Jefferson University Jefferson GME jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…



Humbly requesting American College of Cardiology for next year’s annual meeting to not be held on Eid weekend! #ACC25

Thank you Abdulla A. Damluji, MD, PhD and Michael Nanna for your help with this viewpoint on the important goal of frailty prevention as a way to prevent CVD in our aging patient population

Healthy ageing in older adults with cardiovascular disease: European Society of Cardiology Journals 🥸 So proud of Nathalie, Jon & Kriti Kalra, MD, FACC for their hard work 😱 With my friend Michael Nanna in published in the European Heart Journal 🥸What is healthy aging? How do we achieve it? 👇👇👇


Grateful to Kamala Tamirisa MD for her #WIC talk on the Imposter Syndrome Some takeaways: 1. Don’t wait for the perfect CV- have a potential and growth mindset 2. Mentors will push you into growth areas (always grateful to my mentor, Abdulla A. Damluji, MD, PhD, for believing in me)


🥸2️⃣0️⃣ Conclusion: Cardiac amyloidosis is a treatable cause of heart failure in older adults. Frailty is not a barrier to care—it’s a call for tailored, multidisciplinary, patient-centered strategies. 😱 Ajar Kochar Michael Nanna Ariela Orkaby MD MPH Ashok Krishnaswami
