PhDs are a lot of work, but they're also a lot of fun. They're the beginning of an exciting journey that will lead you to new friendships and new opportunities.

CTE is a tragic thing…

And yet, no increases in NHLBI funding to support additional efforts.

Expanding roles for non-canonical ERAD

Semaglutide shows comparable benefits in diabetic HFpEF patients, though with less body weight reduction compared to non-diabetic counterparts (STEP-HFpEF). This suggests its anti-HFpEF effects may not solely rely on its impact on body weight or glucose.

Heading into the weekend with a new grant award notice to fund our work on #HFpEF and the heart as a regulator of global metabolic syndrome! UAZ Medicine - Phoenix TCRC

How can one non-invasively sample the transcriptome of organs like the heart. Our study now published in Circulation shows the mapping of differentially expressed transcripts in HFpEF and HFrEF mapping to different cardiac cell-types. ahajournals.org/eprint/KAIQX6T…

Review from Dr. Sihem Boudina et al provided a perspective on the bi-directional relationship between cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction and myocardial structural remodeling in the context of metabolic heart disease, natural cardiac aging, and heart failure

Cardiologists increasingly encounter cognitive frailty (cognitive impairment and physical frailty without dementia). Early diagnosis and intervention could reverse its course. #AHAJournals Naila Ijaz, MD @yasserj94 Ashok Krishnaswami Michael Nanna Abdulla A. Damluji, MD, PhD ahajrnls.org/3wnLRp9

Q: What is the prevalence of subclinical #AFib in patients w/ #HFpEF , and how does it impact outcomes?

A: In a cross-sectional study of HFpEF patients, subclinical AF was more common on continuous ambulatory ECG monitoring compared to patients without bit.ly/3wvvoiT
