Its ok if you didn’t match into CV fellowship. Inova has a 1 year Preventive/ Women’s CVH fellowship that offers mentoring and sponsorship in a wide variety of topics. Email Lina.Escobar@inova.org with personal statement and 3 LOR. Full application to open December 17th. @cardioobdoc.bsky.social

Underrated skill for junior faculty: knowing how to ask for help/guidance. No fellowship can prepare you for every scenario. Learning new skills is critical for growth, but having early poor outcomes can damage one’s reputation.

In patients with secondary MR & LVEF <50%, both EF and the severity of MR predicted RV dysfunction. RV dysfunction associated with worse outcomes.
Highly informative study! #cardiosky

Who uses Protamine post-PCI in the Cath Lab 🤷‍♂️? Currently using for all CTOs (after coronary gear removal) and all elective Impella high-risk PCI (after device removal). What do others do? 🔗 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37172213/%E2...

Ablative atherectomy (LASER)

🔫EXCITE ISR- only RCT data we have in PAD with atherectomy
🔫 very useful for single vessel runoff
🔫 variety of sizes (0.9, 1.4, 2)
🔫 can modify calcium with laser bomb (contrast on laser)

A good tool to have for both coronary and peripheral work. #Cardiosky #medsky
