Self promotion, but really interesting (I think). #ACHD waitlist outcomes after #OHTx referral depend on local teams. Don't list too low or upgrade too late! Pts may be sicker than they look.

Only fitting during #Sarcoidosis Awareness Month our first presentation on rounds today is a cardiac #sarcoidosis patient. And that #Osler teaching included the hot-off-the-press AHA Science Guidelines Statement on Sarcoidosis Diagnosis and Treatment by none other than…

⁦euroachd⁩ super important topic - #advancedcareplanning #ACHD

Surprised that in #TGA -ASO in the EPOCH cohort exercise capacity overall only slightly better than published values from Kepney et al for mustard/senning at similar age. QOL? Long term outcomes? We'll see. Alexander (Sasha) Opotowsky Shelby Kutty, MD, PhD, MHCM Swati Garekar pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38583591/

Bolstering the NOTE study, here in a🇬🇷population with atrial arrhythmias as indication for AC. in #ACHD #DOAC is safe and effective compared to historical controls with #VKA . #QOL improved possibly (I believe it!). Alexandra Frogoudaki Elisa Bradley pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38565389/

Something I didn't think about really. In #Fontan the SVC/IVC flow ratio changes to become IVC dominant by age 8. While the authors focus on hepatic venous flow distribution I wonder about implications for #FALD .

Important data on #Harmony #TPVR in #TOF and #PS . Seems PS is multivariate risk factor for the #VT that we've seen with #RVOT modification devices. Possibly degree of contact between device and myocardium? Shelby Kutty, MD, PhD, MHCM Ali N Zaidi, MD Swati Garekar pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38569760/

So honored to have Johns Hopkins Cardiology Johns Hopkins Children's Center Johns Hopkins Medicine certified as a Comprehensive Care Center by ACHA! It would not have happened without my incredible team and the best partner in the world:Stacy Fisher. We are destined for great things together!

Congratulations to our brilliant medical student Armaan Akbar on a very successful The ISHLT Annual Meeting! His captivating research under mentor Ahmet Kilic included the impact of surgeon experience on transplant outcomes! Keep your 👀 out for this rising 🌟 in our field!
