Historic milestone in cardiology! On Dec 26, Dr. Raj Makkar at Cedars-Sinai performed the first-ever commercial transcatheter transseptal mitral valve replacement. @fda.gov had approved of the device earlier this week. Dr. Makkar also led the first research case in 2018.

✨ Save this for your next cardiology visit ✨ Heart symptoms don’t always look the same—especially in women. Asking the right questions can change the conversation, the testing, and the care you receive. 🔁 Share it. Save it. Bring it with you.

Lp(a): A lab test every woman should know.

💗 Between the holidays & New Year’s — take a moment for your heart. Did you know stress & disrupted routines can impact heart health? Take a short walk, sip water, breathe deeply — your heart will thank you. #HeartHealth

Did you know? Hormones play a big role in women’s heart health. Let’s explore how estrogen, menopause, and other hormonal shifts affect the heart. 👇 #WomensHeartHealth

Congrats @womensheart.bsky.social MPIs N. Bairey Merz & @janetweimd.bsky.social on newly awarded NIH #U54 SCORE program titled “The Microvascular Aging Effects – Women’s Evaluation of Systemic aging Tenacity in Heart, Brain and Frailty”. #HeartFailure #dementia #frailty #sarcopenia

Heart disease in women doesn’t always look like what you expect. Shortness of breath, nausea, jaw pain, or anxiety can be signs too. Trust your instincts and know the hidden symptoms. Your heart deserves attention. ❤️ #HeartHealth
