Honored to receive this Health Icon Award along with some other very inspirational women physicians ♥️
The hardest part was that I was asked to have my kids make a brief video about me😬 that was shown at the presentation. Will share once that's posted

48 yo with ho stroke 4 weeks ago. Tumor plop on exam and scary myxoma on echo. 1. Resect asap or 2. Wait another 2 weeks before resection to allow some recovery from stroke ?

Pt with moderate Mitral stenosis with severe exertional symptoms. Baseline and bike stress echo demonstrating increased gradients with exercise peak 60W

30 yo with findings of constrictive pericarditis on echo and CT, suspected to have TB etiology, treated with ATT for 6 weeks. Symptoms improved at 6 weeks as did echo findings. Will cont med tx for 6 mo

18yo F with Afib & suspected restrictive CM on echo with BIV hypertrophy, biatrial enlargement, crypts and extensive LGE. Apparently recent stroke. Infiltrative /genetic /storage CM? Didn't quite fit amyloid.

It's been a year since we started The Valve Center of Excellence at NICVD! The multidisciplinary approach has helped over 1000 patients to date. We have seen so much pathology & learnt so much about Valve disease in Pakistan & still have so much more to do & learn!
@nicvd_karachi
First Valve Clinic in Pakistan where patients with complex heart valve problems will see cardiologists, surgeons & cardiac specialists in one setting to make best collaborative decisions for patients. No more multiple appointments & delays. One stop that is all.

Breaking now: terrible news coming in. Al Jazeera reports as per Gazan health ministry that at least 500 people killed in an Israeli air strike that has hit the Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza.. civilians suffer in a cycle of endless violence.
Full day of Cardiac Imaging learning, a much needed area in PK

We have excellent speakers lined up, Final Agenda👇👇& No the discussion before lunch doesn't go on until almost midnight (typo) or atleast I hope it doesn't 😉
Very interesting *27 yo F palpitations. Strong family history of SCD (8/16!siblings died at young age) genetic testing is expensive with limited availability hasn’t been done yet though we are working on trying to get this. Echo-dil RV, MRI👇suggests AVC
@NicvdImaging
@SCMRorg
27 yo F, ho 1 episode of post op"RVOT VT" now with WCT, multiple NSVT runs and this MRI. Prominent trabecs and LGE noted in lateral walls. RV not dilated. LVNC ? Ischemic( no prior history)? Other thoughts?

Are these "children of darkness"? Does it matter who they are? Are their lives not as valuable as others? If this photo doesn't break your heart I'm not sure you have one 💔💔

Symptomatic AR in trileaflet AV valve, dilated root, and what appeared to be a narrow aorta on suprasternal notch view. Found interrupted aortic arch on CT
@nicvd_karachi
20 yo with mean gradient 50 mmHg across the aortic valve. How many cusps? In addition supravalvular ridge plus membrane ? left main and aortic calcification. More images with suspected etiology to follow

21yo seen in valve clinic, TTE high gradients approx 200mmHg across RVOT, images difficult, TEE showed subinfundibular stenosis with musc ridge & membrane & dysplastic valve . CT confirmed. Referred to surgery.

25 yo M with “intrapericardial mass & suspected constrictive pericarditis” on echo. My first question when shown mri was “could this be something crazy like TB?” Fellow back an hour later from ward & informs me that pt has TB contact history & susp TB meningitis. Started on ATT
Seen Today: 1&2 - 38yoF with rheumatic MS&AS (predominantly) , 3&4-40yo M with rheumatic MR &AR(predominantly) same disease, different manifestations. Do we know why some patients get predominantly stenosis vs regurg RHD ?

Images today: 6yo son on Lt and 30 yo mom on Rt. Both symptomatic with large secundum ASD &MR being worked up for surgery. Such a sad situation as mom was so worried for the child while so symptomatic herself Admitted simultaneously for workup and tx in same ward

Nuclear Cardiology Department has been newly renovated and is ready for use. Prof. Nadeem Qamar (Executive Director, NICVD) performed the ribbon cutting. Come by and see our new look!❤️🏥
Mech mitral valve mobile mass . Thrombus vs Veg vs both( super infected thrombus)? INR sub therapeutic & cultures + strep in 1 bottle so far. I’d say tx for both as hard to pass as just thrombus!
#echofirst
22 yo M with dyspnea & chest pain 1 wk. Mild trop+, asymmetric hypertrophy, SAM with hyper enhancement in septum. Looks like classic HCM but what else would you rule out?
@NicvdImaging
#whyCMR
2. 17 yo M sternal chest pain & dyspnea 4mo. Based on imaging differential angiosarcoma followed by “terrible Ts” Bx prelim -neoplastic vascular mass. Would you resect or chemo first ? Has had large symptomatic pericardial eff drained with recurrence.

There was only one dedicated cardiac imaging session ( multimodality) and I'm a little biased but it was outstanding. 3 MRI, 1 CT, 1 Echo strain and 1 diastology all in an hour. Hope to see more in the coming years iA
