Rockstar ACHD physician Dr Katie Salciccioli presenting and teaching on a challenging complex adult #CHD case at #AHA2023 #AHA23 Katie Salciccioli, MD

Amazing heart failure and transplant research guru Joey Spinner presenting on #COVID in cardiac transplant recipients at #AHA23 - there doesn’t appear to be a change in rejection or early survival post cardiac transplant for COVID patients TCH Heart Center Texas Children's

The holiday celebrations were in full SWING with the TCH AdultCHD Program crew at Top Golf! Peter Ermis Katie Salciccioli, MD Stephen Dolgner Wilson Lam

Patients with #Fontan failure are high-risk candidates for heart transplantation and other advanced therapies. Our most recent publication examines outcomes after initial heart failure consultation in #Fontan patients: bit.ly/41fY6zo! #PedsHF

Kyle Hope, MD, MS, is a pediatric cardiologist at Texas Children's. Learn how one of his mentors inspired him to pursue his career in #Peds, what he loves about his job, and what doors #ISHLT has opened for him. #ISHLTEarlyCareerStories 💡

We need to get ready for what is coming. Fontan patients with morphologically RV vs LV have: ▪️> 2-fold risk of atrial arrhythmias, TE events, heart Tx or death. ▪️> 9-fold risk of heart Tx and death alone ▪️> 2-fold risk of atrial arrhythmias alone sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

#Medtwitter & #Cardiotwitter: Congrats to those who survived week 1 of residency/fellowship! This Axolotl is proud of you. Did you know in addition to sweet lil smiles they have single ventricle 💖s?? In honor of my 1st week of 🫀 fellowship, please enjoy an #ACHD 🧵:

Another study, a similar trend. Higher early post #OHTx mortality in #Fontan. After 1y, no differences. How can practices be modified to level the playing field? Preconditioning with #MCS? Multidisciplinary teams? ACTION Kurt Schumacher Rafa Alonso pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38950726/

Coming next week to Pediheart! Mount Sinai Kravis Children's Hospital Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Baylor University Tony Pastor, MD shares his insights! ACHA #cardiology

Excited to share our work looking at infective endocarditis in #ACHD! Despite more anatomically complex, lower IE mortality in ACHD vs. patients w/ structurally normal hearts. Thanks Stephen Dolgner and Keila Lopez MD, MPH 🫀 for your mentorship! Cardiology In The Young pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39385510/

Medium to long-term #ACHD VAD support is an important consideration for patients expected to have long transplant waitlist times or as destination therapy! Check out this JHLT pub from TCH Heart Center TCH AdultCHD Program The Texas Heart Institute showing it's possible! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39396773/
