I am deeply honored and proud to have delivered two oral presentations at AHA 2025, sharing our work with international leaders in cardiovascular medicine and contributing to the growing body of evidence that informs clinical practice and improves patient care. I am also grateful to have presented posters and participated in a moderated session, where the conversations with peers and faculty were both engaging and thought-provoking, further fueling my excitement for the future of our work in cardiology. #AHA2025 also gave me the opportunity to meet new collaborators, reconnect with former colleagues and mentors, and I am truly excited about the future as I build on these relationships. I am especially grateful to my program @ImWvu, and Mentors @Lakshmi14524052 @harshi_md for their continuous support. #AHA25 #cardiotwitter #Cardiology – at New Orleans, LA

EBOLA: STAY INFORMED. STAY SAFE. Following the confirmation of an Ebola disease case in the FCT, the Federal Government, through the NCDC and relevant health authorities, is strengthening surveillance and response efforts. Ebola spreads through direct contact with the blood or body fluids of an infected person who is sick or has died, or through contaminated materials. Please remain calm and rely on verified information. Early reporting saves lives! πŸ“ž To report a suspected case, call the NCDC 24/7 toll-free line: 6232 #Ebola #publichealth #NigeriaCDC

πŸ“–Among patients with #afib & #chronickidneydisease, this real-world analysis showed #LAAO was associated with decreased all-cause mortality compared to direct oral #anticoagulants, however there was no improvement in intermediate outcomes. These findings are hypothesis generating. Read more: ➑️jscai.org/article/S2772-9303… @_ottun @maxflare @CChinatambi @wazza_233
