The best part of my job is having all of my amazing former medical assistants come visit and share their successes! It makes me so happy to see them thriving on their journey to becoming physicians! @bswhealth.bsky.social

On #GivingTuesday2024, consider supporting our efforts to discover and understand reasons why heart disease and diabetes are common among South Asian individuals 💜 ourhealthstudy.org 🙏 because.massgeneral.org/campaign/our...

So honored to be featured in @localprofiletx Top Doctors 2024 Ask the Expert! @HeartPlano @bswhealth

This Diwali our commitment to South Asian CV health shines bright w/ the publication of the inaugural paper from the DILWALE South Asian CV Health Registry. 🪔 A Herculean effort to put together by world class colleagues & collaborators. @jaideeppatelmd sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

So wonderful to have @NPagidipati and @Nishant_ShahMD visit @HeartPlano to help kick off some of our awesome collaborations! @bswhealth_DFW @JavedButler1 @ShahzebKhanMD @cardiometalli

I had a great time talking about one of my favorite topics- South Asian CV health at the @president_iant breast cancer awareness event through @bswhealth! The room was full of wonderful South Asian women! @jaideeppatelmd @ourhealthstudy

No better way to celebrate the acceptance of our first manuscript (of many) from the #DILWALE South Asian CV health registry and an awesome research team than with samosas, mango lassi & cake! @HeartPlano! @jaideeppatelmd

Catching up on some reading and it is exciting to see our editorial with @JSpitz_MD on #olpasiran in print in @JACCJournals! @HeartPlano @InovaHealth

It is truly the #BestDayEver when I get to see my friend Rebecca Silvestri at the @localprofiletx women in business summit! #BestSummitEver Also, I am loving this fabulous light up bling-ring!

Exercise enhances the effect of weight loss on lipoprotein lipids. The amount of exercise needed for weight loss and maintenance is greater than what is needed for general health (>200 min/week). @carolkirkpat3 #NLA2024 @nationallipid @LipidCNS

What a wonderful birthday present! Our project from the #DILWALE registry is funded by the Baylor Research Institute! @JavedButler1 @jaideeppatelmd @DineshKalra

What a delight to speak at the @TipsNec Wellness & Lifestyle symposium about optimizing CV health among the South Asian community! Also, got to highlight some of our academic work in this area. @jaideeppatelmd

As a cardiologist, I am constantly learning how to optimize CV health. Meds are mostly designed to treat disease, not optimize health. Optimizing CV health is a lifelong commitment and the best investment you can make in yourself. CC: @wholistic_lyfe @ted_ryce @PeterAttiaMD

Delighted to co-author the editorial: "Stepping Away from the Monolith: The Disaggregation of Asian Cardiovascular Data" with Dr. Shruti Revankar of @BCM_InternalMed.Original manuscript:@jaideeppatelmd ajconline.org/article/S0002-… ajconline.org/article/S0002-…

Check out this superstar incoming IM resident @kiaracamacho96 presenting her poster at #ACC24 on Mobile Health Apps for Cardiovascular Risk Assessment! 🔥

What a fantastic case of reverse Takatsubo at #ACC24 presented by superstar fellow and future interventionalist, @DevinaJagota!

Our very own @HeartPlano fellow @michaelhvu crushed it at his poster session #ACC24 introducing the @bswhealth DILWALE registry of ~32,000 South Asian patients! Stay tuned for more fantastic work coming from the DILWALE registry soon! @jaideeppatelmd

So excited to co-author this review on Oral PCSK9 Inhibitors in @SpringerNature with @CBallantyneMD @ramsha022!@HeartPlano @BCMHeart @KansasCityU trebuchet.public.springernature.app/get_content/95…

When your office team comes to the rescue so that you can be the coolest mom and a good doctor.

Had so much fun last night teaming up with @American_Heart and @friscoisd to teach kids how to keep their hearts healthy! Thanks to @HeartPlano for loaning us some fantastic educational materials!

Had a fabulous time filming the Heart for Menopause webinar for #HeartMonth! @bswhealth @HeartPlano @ABPobgyn @TGoldsonMDPhD

What a cute idea for my favorite holiday! 💕 @ACCinTouch @txchapteracc

Got this beautiful arrangement from a lovely patient today. We had to make some difficult decisions together. It reminds me that there is nothing more important than maintaining the integrity of the physician-patient relationship.

How exciting to see a tribute to Drs. Brown and Goldstein at the @PerotMuseum! I started my journey in science and medicine as a college student doing summer research in the Department of Molecular Genetics learning about LDL receptors!

So great to catch up with wonderful friends and colleagues! @jennlewey Happy Birthday to the one and only @GarimaVSharmaMD! 🎈🎁🪔

May light always guide your way. Happy Diwali!

The landscape of lipoprotein treatment is rapidly expanding! Despite this, there are barriers with regard to adherence, access and prescribing that hinder implementation. -Bruce Warden, PharmD #AHA23 @AHAMeetings

Nerded out @RdgTerminalMkt this morning and indulged in one of these beautiful dark chocolate hearts in honor of #AHA23 #Philadelphia @AHAMeetings

Happy Diwali 🪔! Look at this beautiful #Diwali Photo Booth in our hospital! Love the @bswhealth commitment to caring for the #SouthAsian community in DFW! Photo with one of my favorite nephrologists!

Kicking off Saturday morning at the @txchapteracc with an engaging session on coronary artery disease! Outstanding representation by @bswhealth @HeartPlano on the panel! @kalazizimd @AhmedKazemDO @ACCinTouch

A10: A majority of #KnowFH is undiagnosed/ undertreated. Here’s what you can do: 1. Screen yourself & family members that may be at risk 2. Early & Aggressive treatment 3. Optimize ALL CV risk factors and optimize CH health per @American_Heart Life's Essential 8 metrics

A9: Options for lipid-lowering are ever-A9 expanding as summarized in the figure taken from (Lloyd-Jones, JACC, 2022). #KnowFH

A8: The @AmerAcadPeds recommends cholesterol screening between the ages of 9-11 years. Children with a family history of heart disease or #KnowFH should be screened at 2 years. Everyone should have a repeat cholesterol test between the ages of 17-21 years.

A7: Know your numbers! Get your cholesterol (lipid panel) checked and have your family members screened. 80% of ♥️ disease is preventable. Talk to a lipid specialist or preventive cardiologist to learn how you can lower your risk of ♥️ disease. #KnowFH @nationallipid @ASPCardio
