A thread 🧵 on #omicron #covid #mask #vaccines Almost 2 years since the initial Covid concerns, what we’ve had is governments across the world being reactive (and slowly) not pro-active. So why is this #omicron different, and what is the concern? @DrMarthaGulati @mmamas1973 /2 Multiple mutations have happened- we didn’t get from #delta to #omicron overnight, the other variant were monitored, but not alarming… and scientists kept observing… but not shouting out- now they are, time to be listened, and here are the concerns @AnastasiaSMihai @iamritu /3

It was so great to give a (virtual) talk to the Hellenic Society of Cardiology on #covid and #whycmr- hopefully next year in person with no more need 4 Covid talks! Short 🧵 on CMR use #epeeps #cardioed #echofirst #tavr #metaanalysis …/2 #covid is bad for many organs- including the heart. The role of ACE2 receptors to facilitate entry to the cells is well known! But for the heart Covid does lead to #infarction #arrhythmias #heartfailure #myopericarditis What can you do to avoid this? GET A #VACCINE

#ESCCongress #ESCGuidelines on CARDIAC PREVENTION @escardio academic.oup.com/eurheartj/adva… LONGISH THREAD 🧵 but EDUCATIONAL! #epeeps @mirvat @mmamas1973 @DrMarthaGulati @ErinMichos @hvanspall @AnastasiaSMihai @AndreasGevaert @SilCastelletti @EAPCPresident @s_gati @VDelgadoGarcia …/2 #ESCCongress THREAD on CVD PREVENTION. I need to start with this, seeing someone with an MI or heart failure or AF & treating them appropriately doesn’t make us great doctors. PREVENTING those does. These #ESCGuidelines help a lot to getting us there @ShrillaB @wordfinga …/3

Educational Thread (longish) on AORTIC STENOSIS on the new #ESCGuidelines #ESCCongress published at @escardio #EHJ academic.oup.com/eurheartj/adva… Another thread to follow on AR. So truly excited about these guidelines and here’s why @mirvatalasnag @mmamas1973 @DrMarthaGulati @Hragy …/2 First things first #ESCCongress - a patient centered approach recommended. 👏 but I thought we had long moved to a patient centred approach but nonetheless good to highlight #epeeps #cardio #echofirst #whycmr …/3

#ESCCongress #ESCGuidelines This is a Long thread on Heart Failure Guidelines published @escardio #EHJ academic.oup.com/eurheartj/adva… LONG BUT EDUCATIONAL! Focus on CHRONIC HF #epeeps #CardioEd @AlexFrogoudaki @mmamas1973 @DrMarthaGulati @purviparwani @Filippatos @EkateriniL @Hragy …/2 #ESCCongress Firstly, no longer Mid Range, replace by MILDLY REDUCED LV EF. Makes a lot of sense - in fact for some time I thought the previous guidelines referred to ‘mildly reduced’ until @merinopoulos corrected me… otherwise no real change in the nomeculture …/3

#ESCCongress has ended. A unique conference! An unforgettable conference! These are my highlights!

Firstly, an amazing DIGITAL experience... Brining everyone together, breaking all barriers, diminishing borders.

@Barbara_Casadei @Steph_Achenbach @mmamas1973 @DrMarthaGulati In an earlier (still ongoing) Poll from today... 77% wished to have a hybrid Digital and In Person conference... That would certainly have lots of attractions especially for those who wouldn't other be able to afford it #ESCCongress
