As a statistician, this is extremely alarming. I’ve spent years thinking about the ethical principles that guide data analysis. Here are a few that feel most urgent:

We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Dimitri Karmpaliotis. A gifted interventionalist, devoted mentor, and extraordinary human being, his impact on our field, and on all of us who had the privilege to know him, is immeasurable. Our heartfelt

I'm thrilled to announce that we've completed randomizing 1252 pts with LVEF <40% and complex CAD to high-risk PCI with Impella CP support vs. control. Now we are in the 1-year follow-up phase and then the results of the PROTECT IV trial will be reported.

Effect of Frailty on In-Hospital Mortality and Complications of PCI: An NCDR Registry Report: JACC Journals 🥸 Great work by my friend Ajar Kochar and team: Dr. Deepak L. Bhatt 😱 Frailty in NCDR 👇👇👇

Great summary. Frailty is yet another factor that is not appropriately captured in risk models and “report cards” based on administrative or registry data (eg: U.S. News Health). There is a good reason doctors don’t trust these metrics- it’s because they are not internally valid

Best night of the year for the Penn Medicine Cardiovascular Cath Labs as we celebrate our graduating fellows: Igor Vaz, M. Adil Sheikh, Tom Breen, & Ali Agha and welcome the new leadership of senior fellows: Monica Tung, Ayesha Khan, & Stephanie Colello!

2025 Nature Index: Harvard has dropped to No. 2 after the Chinese Academy of Sciences. No. 1 and 3-9 are all Chinese research institutes. Meanwhile, American research institutes are facing a 43% cut in NIH funding and a 50% cut in NSF funding. Please, don’t look up.

The NSF’s proposed FY26 budget request includes a staggering 50% reduction in funding. It’s alarming that leaders can’t- or won’t -grasp the long-term damage this will do to our research, innovation, and the future of America’s scientific workforce.

Our new PROSPECT II study in Circulation comparing untreated non-obstructive lsns in STEMI & NSTEMI. ~4 such lsns per pt. 2-feature high-risk plaques were equally present (in 38.8% vs. 32.7%; P=0.11). 4-yr rates of untreated lesion-related MACE were also similar (8.6% vs 7.8%).

Kicking off #NYValves2025 with St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center super fellow Chris Koo presenting our anatomy specific cusp overlap technique. Simultaneously published in JACC Journals and to be adopted by Medtronic Kendra J. Grubb M.D. as new standard.

This is a travesty and a nightmare. The US was a founder of @Gavi. It lowers vaccine costs for the world, has vaccinated 1B children, and averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year -- and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.

I’m usually awkward about award ceremonies – worthy accomplishments are seldom about individual effort. But this one warmed my heart. A celebration of folks who have dedicated decades of their lives to an organization that has truly shaped our the world American Heart Association 1/

Important finding on CT and fluoro showing 2nd TAV in Redo #TAVR were 100% underexpanded despite procedural optimization with pre and post dilatation. Time to rethink lifetime management strategy and consider #TAVR explant in low risk pts to avoid redo TAVR PPM ? JACC Journals

Cardiovascular trial interventions found to be beneficial among even the frailest of patients, highlighting the need for purposeful inclusion of these patients, who are often excluded from RCTs. Read Angela S. Koh , Jordan Strom, MD, MSc, FACC, FASE et al in JACC Journals : bit.ly/46mFCSs
