Our amazing #CTEPH team attended International CTEPH Association this past week! Amazing and talented individuals that provide world class care to out patients. #pccm UC San Diego Health UC San Diego School of Medicine

Doing my best Timothy Fernandes, MD, MPH impersonation at #CHEST2023 to review the SEARCH algorithm for #PE follow up with Tim Morris, Erik Klok, Bill Stringer, and Jina Chung. More work up may be needed post-PE, even if normal resting echo and RHC - consider invasive #CPET! UCSD Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep, & Physiology

In honor of #CTEPH Awareness day, here is a post on the history of the CTEPH program at UC San Diego Health. We really are standing on the shoulders of giants here UCSD Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep, & Physiology and it is our duty to move the field even further forward!

Our review on #BPA in #CTEPH is out! BPA has come a long way over the years and is now an essential cornerstone of CTEPH treatment in this multimodal era UCSD Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep, & Physiology UC San Diego Cardiology ATS PC Assembly onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pu…

Important paper validating our use of O2·pulse@AT/O2·pulse@rest as a good estimate of invasive stroke volume augmentation. HOT TAKE: CPET data from AT much more valuable than at peak. respiratory-research.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Grateful for all the hard work and dedication our PTE team gives to our community and patients!

Happy 9th anniversary today to the UC San Diego Health #BPA program! Close to 1000 sessions in the past 9 years and excellent safety and outcomes. Congratulations UCSD Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep, & Physiology UC San Diego Cardiology Nick Kim Jenny Yang. #CTEPH health.ucsd.edu/care/heart-vas…

A familiar face on the trolley. Congratulations on the excellent result from your PTE and go San Diego Padres! #CTEPH UCSD Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep, & Physiology

Living with #pulmonaryhypertension often means battling invisible challenges. Let’s raise awareness to improve care, support and research for people with #PH. Let’s unite for patients.  #WorldPHDay2024

All PAH providers, but especially those at cancer centers, should be aware of the potential etiologies of pulmonary hypertension in multiple myeloma! Think about HFrEF/HFpEF, medications, amyloid, high output (anemia/lytic lesions) and CTEPH/VTE. resmedjournal.com/article/S0954-…

UCSD’s CTEPH Program is on FIRE! 🔥We just hit a MAJOR milestone: 1000 balloon pulmonary angioplasty sessions with ZERO mortality! 🤯 That’s right, zero. Compared to published rates up to 3%, this is unheard of. #UCSD #CTEPH #medicalbreakthrough #proudmoment #BPA #PTE

If your patients want to learn more about PH, check out episode 1 of The Pulmonary Hypertension Association's new podcast on #PAH! We talk about all things PH 101 UCSD Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep, & Physiology ATS PC Assembly phassociation.org/tune-in-to-our…

Dr. Morris from UCSD Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep, & Physiology waxing eloquently about post PE dyspnea at the PERT Consortium. #PERT2024

Post-PE dyspnea is common but invasive CPET can identify if chronic clot is cause of dyspnea leading to #CTEPD with exercise PH, elevated dead space, and/or small stroke volume augmentation #PERT Timothy Fernandes, MD, MPH UCSD Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep, & Physiology PERT Consortium

Dr. Michael Madani reminding us all that #PTE surgery is still the best treatment for operable #CTEPH. At UC San Diego Health, we’ve now done >5000 PTEs with <2% mortality! #PERT UCSD Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep, & Physiology PERT Consortium
