Night Float, Simulated: A Missing Piece of Cardiology Fellowship

Kudos to Dr. Daniel Hanna (first year cardiology fellow at NCH) for putting together this excellent curriculum for our incoming fellows

Greatly enjoyed the CardioTan 2025 conference @CardioTanz29481 last week in Zanzibar. Always fun to catch up with old friends and network with various stakeholders in advancing cardiac care in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Excellent discussions on various practical aspect of operating a large cardiovascular program in a resource-limited environment and the practicalities of day-to-day care for patients in Sub-Saharan Africa with key opinion leaders such as Dr. Ahmed Rezq from Ain Shams in Egypt.

Big Thanks to the conference organizers, JKCI leadership, and Madaktari supporters and volunteers!

Researchers Find Valve Size Impacts Calcification, Not Gender

Interesting study that adds to emerging data: AVC is not binary for severe aortic stenosis and is influenced by annular size (etc). And furthermore, as others have demonstrated, AVC may be not be as useful in low flow states.

Diagnostic Value of Aortic Valve Calcification Levels in the Assessment of Low-Gradient Aortic Stenosis | JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging

Very excited for my dear friend and long time @madaktari Board Member and Country Director: Professor Mohamed Janabi. He was recently nominated as Candidate for the post of WHO Regional Director for Africa - 2025 | WHO | Regional Office for Africa

Under his leadership at @TaasisiMoyoJKCI and via a collaborative training partnership with @madaktari, we successfully established the first public cardiac cath lab in Tanzania that now sustainably performed complex cardiac procedures.

His appointment as WHO Regional Director for Africa would be tremendous for the African continent and help advance the cause of establishing advanced, equitable, and sustainable care.

Mortality and Morbidity in Adults With Rheumatic Heart Disease

Important study of an under-studied disease. Large scale data indicating a considerable 3 year rate of death (15%) mostly from HF and SCD.

The SCD signal warrants further evaluation by burgeoning EP programs in sub-Saharan Africa. @madaktari @TaasisiMoyoJKCI @DrKhuz @YGandye @Drmattsackett
