This operation showcases the removal of an aortic aneurysm in a patient with a bicuspid valve and replacement of the ascending aorta. While this surgery is lifesaving, imagine a future where we can predict such conditions *before* they become critical. With AI-powered digital twins, we can create a virtual replica of a patient’s heart —Integrating real-time data from imaging, genetics, and lifestyle. These models can simulate disease progression, predict aneurysm formation, and even assess the timing for intervention. Could digital twins, combined with predictive analytics, revolutionize how we treat—and prevent—complex cardiovascular conditions? Let’s discuss how we move from reactive to *proactive* care.

🔵 March is Endometriosis Awareness Month! 🎗️ Let's shine a spotlight on this often misunderstood condition. Endometriosis affects millions of women worldwide, causing excruciating pain and impacting daily life. Laparoscopic surgery offers a minimally invasive treatment option for those struggling with endometriosis. By raising awareness, we can empower women to seek early diagnosis and effective treatment. 🩺 #EndometriosisAwareness #Endometriosis #Laparoscopy

Did you know? Endometriosis involves, on average, a 6- to 10-year wait between symptom onset and diagnosis. Laparoscopic surgery to diagnose this common condition for women requires a 2- to 6-week recovery time. NICHD supports research on a potential noninvasive diagnostic option to detect #biomarkers of endometriosis in menstrual effluent.
