🚨 BREAKING - BRAZIL FLOODS - The Flood's water levels in Rio Grande Do Sul, Brazil has reached upto the roofs of houses.

In this video you can see that people rescuing a dog that swam upto a roof to survive

I don't say this lightly - but the floods in Porto Alegre, Brazil, are looking comparable to what Katrina did to New Orleans in 2005 -- massive evacuations, water & power outages, key infrastructure damaged, parts of city unlivable, possible long-term consequences

South of Brazil is living the worst flood of history. At the city of Lajeado (video below) the river height surpassed the record of 100 feet high from 1941 and 2023. God bless our people.

Structure🆚Function to Estimate LV Filling Pressures

#whyCMR estimates mean PCWP based on LV mass & left atrial volume (structure)

modest accuracy for detecting⬆️mean PCWP >15 mm Hg( high false ++)

#echofirst predicts⬆️PCWP with higher accuracy(function)

1-15% of women with acute coronary syndrome are diagnosed with MINOCA. Women are 5 times more likely to present with it.

Left atrial stiffness is a marker of LV diastolic dysfunction. We are excited to present the 1st validation study of LA stiffness by echo vs measured by LA cath. We found significant correlation in 65 patients undergoing AFib ablation. See on JACC Journals

Houston Methodist Cardiovascular Fellowships Houston Methodist CV dinner at #ACC24 ! ❤️ It was great catching up with our fellows & graduates!

#Cardiotwitter #ACCFIT #CardioX

WilliamZoghbi I think I captured the best photo of Houston Methodist at #ACC24 with your amazing #womenincardiology . And yes, I know there are more!

Thank you to being such a #heforshe and rising to the challenge of making such an inclusive Cardiology Department! Khurram Nasir

Remember: women are NOT small men! Our evolving research led by DebbieKwonMD continues to confirm that women remodel their hearts differently in response to chronic significant aortic regurgitation, have worse outcomes, and deserve specific surgical thresholds! #ACC24 💃🏻 #GoRed

Dr. Akila Bersali discusses at #ACC24 the correlation between myocardial scarring and outcomes in patients with secondary mitral regurgitation. #MedicalResearch #Cardiology #MitralRegurgitation
