    A friend shared photo from time I arrived in Boston as international med graduate. 2 hundred dollars, a suitcase, a lot of unknown but a lot more hope. #Grateful to all who helped me during the journey! Was not easy, feel so #blessed. Photo seems like from a zillion years ago 😇

    A dream moment ✨ next to my mentor @jgharoldmd, who embodies vision & kindness. Reflected that in our journey we owe so much to those who reach out & "hold our hand". Now it's my privilege & joy to lift trainees & early careers around me #payitforward

    Thrilled to be part of this important conversation on #alcohol &❤️, that @susandominus so thoughtfully covered in @nytimes today. I feel it's time to move away from the notion that #alcohol is good for heart.
    Absolute risk in younger population can be lower but over time it can add up!  Past studies had "sick quitter" or "healthy user" phenomenon bias.

    Our paper Choi et al. shows nutritionally rich Plant-Centered Diet decreased risk of future Heart Disease (27% ⬇️risk) and Stroke (30% ⬇️risk) where as Simple Nutrient-Based Rules diets (low-fat, low carbohydrate, cholesterol lowering ) did not. Paper: bit.ly/3rGv8Hx

    🔥Thrilled to be quoted in @WSJ on biggest story of #ACC2023 along with @EdwardFryMD. While good to have Bempedoic acid as option for statin intolerant patients, we still have lots work to break clinical inertia & close gap for patients who should be on statin & 💔prevention.
