Nadia Ivanova, co-founder of Sparrow BioAcoustics, has won the Innovation category at the Women Empowerment Awards .

The ceremony recognized women's achievements in business, entrepreneurship, and leadership. The evening began with a pre-party: photo zones, networking, and hands-on activities, including manicures, mini-paintings, and filming a short reel. Guests then moved to the main hall for dinner and the awards, which covered categories such as Mentorship, Innovation, and Global Impact.

Nadia was one of five finalists in Innovation. Before the winner was announced, the organizers screened a short film about our path, the company, and the work she and the team have built. After the announcement, a video message from Nadia, recorded in Serbia, was shown, in which she thanked the organizers for the award.

The award recognizes Nadia as a woman founder and innovator, her leadership in building the company, and Sparrow's contribution to innovation in cardiac healthcare technology.

❤️Thank you to the Women Empowerment Awards for the recognition, and congratulations to Nadia and the whole Sparrow team. 🏆

and the : is there a connection worth knowing about?
A new systematic review and meta-analysis published in Spine Deformity (2026) analyzed data from 9,554 patients with idiopathic scoliosis who underwent echocardiographic evaluation. Cardiovascular abnormalities were identified in 7.5% of cases, with valvular abnormalities being the most frequently reported findings.
Does this mean that scoliosis causes heart disease? No. But the findings highlight why it is important to assess patients comprehensively, rather than viewing them solely through the lens of spinal deformity.
We break down the numbers and key findings in the carousel 👆

Heart Valve Disease Awareness Week — a reminder of the value of the first clinical signal.

For clinicians, it often starts with a deep heart sound characterization.

This week, September 14-20, brought attention to that first step and encouraged people to have their heart sounds checked.

A murmur can be the point at which a routine encounter leads to further assessment, echocardiography, or referral.

This global awareness initiative is led by the Global Heart Hub's Heart Valve Disease Patient Network.

A thrombus doesn't necessarily form overnight. It can be the downstream consequence of underlying structural, rhythm, or hemodynamic conditions that may produce recognizable clinical and acoustic findings. Swipe to see what to listen for.
Heart sound analysis can provide an early clue to conditions associated with intracardiac thrombus formation.

Atrial fibrillation, characterized by an irregularly irregular rhythm, is an important risk factor for thrombus formation, particularly in the left atrial appendage.

Mitral stenosis, characterized by a low-frequency diastolic murmur and often an accentuated S1, increases left atrial pressure and impairs left atrial emptying. The resulting blood stasis contributes to the stasis component of Virchow's triad, particularly when atrial fibrillation is also present.
Heart failure: an S3 gallop or pulmonary crackles may indicate elevated filling pressures and cardiac dysfunction. In patients with severe LV systolic dysfunction, particularly with apical akinesis or dyskinesis following a large anterior myocardial infarction, the risk of left ventricular thrombus increases.

Cardiomyopathy-related murmurs and abnormal heart sounds may provide clinical clues to structural or functional cardiac conditions associated with thromboembolic risk, potentially before an embolic event occurs.

Knowing where to listen for aortic valve sounds can make a big difference in your cardiac assessment.

Aortic valve sounds and murmurs often radiate from the right upper sternal border toward the cardiac apex. The murmur of aortic stenosis is typically heard best in the aortic area, but it may also be audible at the apex and even radiate into the neck due to sound transmission through surrounding structures.
