Excited to present my first UCLA Dept of Medicine Grand Rounds! “Crossroads of Risk: Cardiovascular Biomarkers as Early Cancer Sentinels” 🗓 Feb 5, 2026 | 🕛 Noon Co-presenting with Jordan Juarez, UCLA IM resident @domucla.bsky.social Grateful to mentors, colleagues, trainees & the Grand Rounds team.

JAMA Cardiology marks its 10th anniversary with gratitude to founding Editor in Chief Robert O. Bonow, MD, MS. In his farewell Editorial, Bonow reflects on building a top-cited cardiovascular journal: “It’s a very rare, once‑in‑a‑lifetime opportunity.” ja.ma/3NM60Ow

“Several cardiovascular disease risks were elevated among cancer survivors, with substantial variation by cancer type and treatment.” www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/...

“DP achieved during ESE but not DSE is an excellent tool for the prediction of MACE and ACM in this patient population; therefore, ESE should be recommended as the test of choice when possible.” cardiooncologyjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

“In the MESA cohort, higher baseline levels of hs-cTnT and NT-proBNP predicted an increased risk of incident cancer...” @jaccjournals.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

“Patients with AMI had a higher risk of hematologic malignancies than those without AMI. These findings suggest an association between AMI and hematologic malignancies, and underscore the importance of considering hematologic malignancy development in patients with AMI” www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/...
