It's that time of year again, I love helping applicants refine their personal statements, getting them to see their strengths and distilling their CV into an actual narrative of who they are as a person! Very exciting.

Will miss having another Bruk @PennCVFellows now that the other one is off to be an attending in California

Feel like a true philly resident now that I got the chance to meet @GrittyNHL @PennCardiology

#CardioNugget 44/365 ANNULUS REVERSUS: 🔹 Normal Heart: The lateral mitral annulus (outer part) moves more than the septal mitral annulus (inner part) when the heart relaxes. So, lateral e' > septal e' on tissue Doppler. 🔹 Constrictive Pericarditis (CP): The stiff pericardium

TAVR in asymptomatic patients? This trial showed TAVR to improve outcomes (driven mainly by ⬇️ hospitalizations) in severe aortic stenosis but ABSENCE of symptoms — echoing the smaller RECOVERY trial in “very severe” aortic stenosis in 2020. EARLY TAVR Trial, NEJM 2024 ♥️

A 🍂 happy hour to celebrate our 🌟@PennCardiology fellows! Thank you for your incredible dedication & teamwork! We are in awe of you & so grateful. @FSilvestryMD @MonSangh @noshreza @RupalOQuinn @AfariHenrietta @nickwilcox23, Steph Colello, Denice Susini & Monica Rollerson!

Productive talk today. So great to see so many young physicians in the Ethiopian community in Philly and across the diaspora. Thank you again @PennMedicine for all the resources including free vaccines and screening kits! @tinsae_tsegaye @TensaeAssefa

I am thrilled to be a speaker at this year's Ethiopian Community Health & Wellness Fair, where we will discuss cardiovascular health and conduct screenings for HTN and Diabetes. @PennMedicine @PennCardiology @GetHealthyPHL @ABCardio1

Happy Ethiopian New Year!
