49. Case Report: Platypnea-Orthodeoxia Secondary to a PFO – Allegheny Health Network

CardioNerds(Amit Goyal&Daniel Ambinder) join Allegheny Health Network cardiology fellows (Adnan Khalif, MahathiIndaram, Kushani Gajjar, and MichaelNestasie) for a lovely Pittsburgh hike and discuss a fascinating case of platypnea-orthodeoxia secondary to a PFO. Dr. Farhan Katchi provides the E-CPR and Program director Dr. Craig Alpert provides a message for applicants. Episode notes were developed by Johns Hopkins internal medicine resident Richard Ferraro with mentorship from University of Maryland cardiology fellow Karan Desai.

TheCardioNerds Cardiology Case Reports series shines a light on the hidden curriculum of medical storytelling. We learn together while discussing fascinating cases in this fun, engaging, and educational format. Each episode ends with an“Expert CardioNerd Perspectives & Review” (E-CPR)for nuanced teaching from a content expert. We truly believe that hearing about a patient is the singular theme that unifies everyone at every level, from the student to the professor emeritus.

We are teaming up with the ACC FIT Section to use the#CNCR episodes to showcase CV education across the country in the era of virtual recruitment. As part of the recruitment series, each episode features fellows from a given program discussing and teaching about an interesting case as well as sharing what makes their hearts flutter about their fellowship training. The case discussion is followed by both anE-CPRsegment and a message from the program director.
