24 years ago my parents dropped everything & moved to Canada for a better future. Yesterday I had the privilege of graduating from @uoftmedicine & officially now Dr. Fakhraei! Wouldn't be here without all that have supported me in my journey. Next up: IM @BIDMC_Medicine

In the @American_Heart COVID-19 Registry, low-income patients had worse long-term outcomes after discharge from a COVID hospitalization, attributable to a higher comorbidity burden. #AHAJournals #COVID19 #AHACOVID19 @RFakhraei97 @rwyeh @SmithBIDMC https://t.co/0duC3KiRXi

O CANADA! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 #4Nations

INJECT THIS INTO MY VIENS 🇨🇦

We are happy to share our study in @JACCJournals examining stroke risk associated with #atrialfibrillation in the setting of cancer. This work was funded by @SCC_CCS and @trogersresearch https://t.co/2fFa7Si4NR

A dream come true! Beyond ecstatic to have the privilege to stay @BIDMChealth for my cardiology fellowship training. Thank you to my parents and family, mentors, friends, and all my supports who have helped me get to this point. Excited to get started!

Alas, I will not make it to this yr's @ACCinTouch Scientific Sessions. However, I will be well-represented by 2 outstanding medical students, who will be presenting 3 abstracts: one highlighted oral presentation & 2 moderated posters! @uoftmedicine @WCHospital @PMunkCardiacCtr

I can't think of any two people more deserving of this @the_asci honor, I know all of us @BIDMCVFellows are so so lucky to have @JenHoCardiology @rwyeh as mentors in medicine, research, and life 👏👏👏👏

Excited to be in Atlanta for #ACC24 and looking forward to learning the updates in clinical CV care and research this weekend #CardioTwitter

Surprised to see losartan topping this list. When starting an ARB, losartan is the last option I'd go with, for one simple reason. 🧵 /1

You’re laughing, I’ve been checking the JVP incorrectly for 8 years and you’re laughing 🤡🤡🤡 Jardine DL, Adamson P, Crozier IG. Measuring the Jugular Venous Pressure: Do Not Turn the Head! Am J Med. 2022 May;135(5):552-554. https://t.co/6BV57u6pui

Does it seem like your hospital patients are getting more... complicated? They are! 🧵

Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season full of cheer! 🎇

They're called discharge summaries for a reason, not "discharge copy-pasted-crappy-progress-note-that-lists-every-little-thing-that-happened-during-a-hospitalization."

A thread about our depraved healthcare system, and a plea. In 2021, my friend Carole was diagnosed with terminal stage four cancer. A single parent with two kids, she had just turned 43. In 2017, she had watched her brother Chris die of the same cancer. He too was in his 40s.

In patients w/ cardiovascular disease & overweight or obesity but no diabetes, semaglutide was superior to placebo in lowering the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events at a mean follow-up of 39.8 mos. Full SELECT trial results: https://t.co/sHpHQFOGLu #AHA23 @AHAScience

Nevermind that the trial in vaccinated people was stopped for futility and didn't demonstrate benefit. And that was pre omicron, pre boosters, and excluded people previously recovered Wasn't financially viable at $530. Laughable at $2500.

October is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month! 420K+ Americans have an out-of-hospital SCA each year. Survival rates can double or triple if more people take action and know what to do. Share ACC's SCA resources with your patients! https://t.co/rWPKJ1CvXD

7 of the first 10 drugs selected for price negotiation by Medicare are used to treat cardiovascular disease or risk factors. Huge win for US adults with CVD – but there’s a catch (a good one, for a change). https://t.co/nOj6k3PyGL @jama_current with @rkwadhera and @bnrome 1/

As a Nephrologist, why do I love vasopressin? Particularly when I see patients in the CCU? My ode to vasopressin in a 🧵 #medtwitter #cardstwitter #nephtwitter @MedTweetorials
