🚨 It’s all about that Right Ventricle 🚨 Excited to share our latest paper with Taha Hatab Sachin Goel in JAHA. Our work explores the prognostic value of RV afterload in patients undergoing M-TEER. Invasive evaluation of the RV is 🔑 in identifying patients at highest

Great case example of cardiac imaging at its best. Chest pain? Yes. Coronary disease? No. Vasculitis results in long segment thickening of the aorta and involvement of the Ostia of the Left Main…resulting in high grade narrowing of the coronary artery. Oof. Glad we did a CCTA.

I'm so happy to have matched at Vanderbilt Internal Medicine Residency for my IM training. A real dream come true!! 🥹
So grateful for my family, my mentors at Houston Methodist CV and American University of Beirut and my friends for helping me in throughout this journey. I couldn't have done it without you ❤️.

Brilliant! 🌟

Our research on ‘Almanac: Retrieval Augmented LLMs for Clinical Medicine’ is finally out on NEJM AI! We demonstrate that LLMs augmented with tools (browser, calculators) outperform ChatGPT-4 & others on a novel dataset of 300+ questions assessed by board-certified physicians!

Wow! Having this tool in your pocket to help navigate the infinite amount of information outthere is going to be a game changer for all clinicians. Super excited to see how this develops. As always, stellar work from the one and only Cyril Zakka, MD 🌟👏

There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding multimodal LLMs in medicine. At the Hiesinger Lab we’ve been building Almanac Chat for over 6 months alongside our collaborators and we’re excited to showcase the first preview!

• Almanac Chat is the first truly multimodal medical LLM

Dr. Quinones will discuss and interview Dr. Saleem Toro's on his new Book - Introduction to Clinical Ethics: Perspectives from a Physician Bioethicist. Don't miss this enlightening conversation! Valeria Duarte MD MPH Saleem Edward Toro M Quinones MD, MACC

Interplay or coronary physiology and plaque imaging

Focal CAD:
- higher plaque burden
- predominantly lipid-rich with a high prevalence of TCFA

Diffuse CAD:
- more prevalent calcifications
