Nosheen Reza, MD, FACC, FHFSA will deliver the 35th annual Irwin R. Callen, MD Memorial Lectureship, the "Legacy of Knowledge" on August 5, 2023 at 8:00 am (EST) as part of the Annual Meeting of the Florida Chapter, American College of Cardiology. The title of her lecture is "Emerging Devices for Heart Failure Therapies".
The landscape of device-based therapies for heart failure has rapidly transformed over the last decade. Several device-based therapies have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of heart failure, and even more novel therapies that target structural or neurohormonal derangements in heart failure are in the development pipeline. Knowing how to integrate these therapies with pharmacologic therapy for heart failure is of increasing importance for the cardiovascular care team, and appropriate patient selection for these diverse therapies will be of paramount importance. This lecture will review the current and emerging ecosystem of device-based therapy in heart failure with a focus on clinical applications.
Dr. Nosheen Reza is an advanced heart failure and genetic cardiologist and physician-scientist at the University of Pennsylvania. As an Assistant Professor of Medicine, she cares for patients in the Penn Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease and in the Section of Heart Failure, Transplantation, and Mechanical Support. Her research is focused on improving the care of individuals with genetic cardiomyopathies and is supported by the National Institutes of Health and the American College of Cardiology.
Dr. Reza is also passionate about supporting the careers of women and underrepresented populations in cardiology and is the Founding Director of the Penn Women in Cardiology program and is an Assistant Program Director of the Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship. She has published high impact research on topics ranging from establishing women in cardiology groups in the workplace, supporting cardiology trainees during early parenthood, creating novel women's cardiovascular health curricula, gender disparities in academic medicine, and the representation of women cardiologists in research.
Dr. Reza is an active leader in the American College of Cardiology, Heart Failure Society of America, American Heart Association, and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Society at the local and national levels. She serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Cardiac Failure.
