We had the first Essex ICC (Inherited Cardiac Conditions) clinic today 🎉🥳 Managing patients with confirmed or suspected ICC, and screening relatives at risk of serious ❤️ disease including cardiomyopathy. Huge thanks to @AHardyWallace for her excellent work as new ICC nurse 👏🏾

£25 an hour for my new cleaner who started yesterday Doctors on £17 are striking to get £23 The fact that Wes Streeting and Labour are pushing the 'doctors are greedy' narrative while my cleaner charges £2 more, is absolutely shameful
We said farewell to Dr Jaza Karim today, his long career in cardiology ends on Friday. A very good and experienced clinician, but more importantly one of the kindest human beings I have ever met. We wish him a long and healthy retirement




I love TOE 😀 Check out this beautiful 3D image showing P3 prolapse with ruptured chordae. Causing very severe mitral valve leak
Here’s WHY family history matters with Heart Disease….. And it’s not what you might think! Onion AI ambassador Consultant Cardiologist with special interest in Cardiomyopathies and Cardiac Imaging @drjasondungu , in collaboration with our core medical team, has curated a…
Received a Long Service Award from @MSEHospitals today, presented by Rob Brunger, Associate Director of HR. 10 years @ Basildon Hospital 😲 Proud of what I’ve achieved, especially delivering the Essex ICC service 🙌🏾 Worked with great people & honoured to serve our local patients

Filming an educational video on ATTR-CM this afternoon. Not as easy as it looks 😅



Expert presentation by @carolinecoats on the lack of geographic differences in response to Aficamten in HOCM, as an extension of SEQUOIA HCM trial #HeartFailure2025


Promising early data for the novel myosin modulator EDG-7500 (catchy!) from CIRRUS HCM trial, presented by Anjali Owens and discussed by Iacopo Olivotto. Doesn’t affect LVEF so won’t need serial echo. #HeartFailure2025


Very exciting study presented by Marianna Fontana. CRISPR gene editing stabilises TTR after 1 dose with no disease progression. No longer science fiction 😀 More impressive, majority of ATTRv pts had p. V142I, so a study with (presumably) at least 19% pts of black ethnicity 🖤🙌🏾




Passionate discussion of the importance of GLP-1 in heart failure patients with obesity by Mark Petrie, when discussing the PRAISE-HFrEF trial #HeartFailure2025


Excellent first Hotline session at #HeartFailure2025 conference. NB I normally come to conferences to get away from this guy 🤷🏾♂️😂🖤 @savodoc

FINEHEARTS-HF Blinded withdrawal of Finerenone. Another study to show negative effect of drug withdrawal in heart failure therapy. Highlights the importance of TRED-HF 2 trial, to see which of 4 pillars most important to continue. Over to you @bp_halliday 🙂 #HeartFailure2025


First time in Serbia and first time at ESC HF conference 😀 Looking forward to a great meeting in Belgrade! #HeartFailure2025


Great work by our team @MSEResearchTeam exceeding our target for EASY-AS trial recruitment 💪🏾
👏Amazing work from Ninewells Hospital and Basildon University Hospital for securing a participant each into the study! We're now only at 8 participants more to reach 1,100 worldwide!🌎@TheBHF @NHSTayside @MSEHospitals @MSEResearchTeam #BasildonHospital @drjasondungu
Nice @lukasz_zydzik You could argue you don’t need fancy 3D or even colour Doppler! My training boss @PetrosProf would have stopped imaging after the 2D images 😀
Massive secondary MR in a 74 yo man with beautiful 3D images from TTE showing coaptation defect. #echofirst #CardioTwitter @dr_benoy_n_shah @argulian @alex1708ander @drjasondungu @iamritu @KemalogluOz @StellEkaterina @DrRajeshG1

Great to catch up and thanks again for a great talk 👏🏾
A pleasure to speak about big data research in #HeartFailure with colleagues and patients @EssexCTC. A great centre doing great work. Many thanks to my friends @savodoc and @drjasondungu for the invitation🙏🏽.
A thoroughly enjoyable evening 👏🏾 @amibanerjee1 gave us a fantastic overview of big data and AI in heart failure, and the patient talks were truly inspiring and a reminder of why we do what we do 🙏🏾 Well done to @savodoc @slangley21 and all the team for organising
#HeartFailure AwarenessWeek 2025 in Essex. @amibanerjee1 giving us an excellent keynote at the dinner symposium. We are always inspired by our patients. #25in25 @BSHeartFailure @MSEResearchTeam @EssexCTC
