Disopyramide as a 2nd line drug will likely be rarely used as mavacamten will be the better choice as a 2nd line agent. Disopyramide is difficult to use and has tachyphylaxis and, at times, anticholinergic side effects.

Beyond grateful for my 2yr UVA journey so far: asked to lead as Medical Director of the Advanced Cardiac Valve Center, performing live cases for TCT and TVT, new transcatheter txs! But I’m most grateful for the patients & families that have trusted me w their hearts & my Mentors!

We need controls - patients with other viral illnesses, e.g. influenza, to know how often these findings are present - likely more frequently than we know
... but we know no LGE = good outcomes, so logic mandates that isolated T1/T2 abnormalities without LGE = good outcomes.
Think of them as the fevers of COVID-19 that linger around a bit longer in the heart.

These two cardiologists fell in love while helping others stay heart healthy! Fun facts about Dr. Pamela Mason and Dr. Rohit Malhotra:
❤️ Been married for almost 18 years.
❤️ Met in medical school— they sat next to each other.
❤️ They LOVE working together.

CMR offers the potential of ideal endpoints for clinical trials for therapies that will improve patient outcomes, such as novel approaches to reduce reperfusion injury. This paper was not a proposal to replace routine post-infarct Imaging.
An
@JACCJournals
Expert Panel opines on endpoints to report w/cardiac magnetic resonance imaging after a heart attack. Useful information,but when does the use of the test improve outcomes for patients? Or what other more expensive tests should it replace?
The Gold Medal is the highest award given by the SCMR to an individual for distinguished and extraordinary service to the field of CMR and to the Society. This year SCMR bestowed both Matthias G. Friedrich and Matthias Stuber with the honor of the 2021 Gold Medal.
