🚀 New in @ESC_Journals our “AI in cardiovascular pharmacotherapy—applications & perspectives.” Link https://t.co/2QLhugIkmW 💊 AI will revolutionize cardiology, but what is the state of the art in CV pharmacotherapy? Is it ready for prime time? Let’s dive in ⬇️🧵 1️⃣/12

It was previously described in @JACCJournals , & apparently is a benign finding with @bostonsci Watchman FLX owing to the different sewing of the fabric. We will program follow-up to evaluate if this impair endothelization. https://t.co/DQ7Y77mhS3

‘Wind Sailing Effect’ after #LAAO today. Watchman FLX implant w/o issues (final compression 20% 🔔 shape). After release a clear billowing of the device fabric was evident @mmamas1973 @ignamatsant @AnderRegueiro @AsmaratsL @giampieroviz @g_giustinoMD @pabl0salinas @mirvatalasnag

This is an important topic & was the focus of the Research Academy #ELP @TCT_ME_ 2025 @TCTConference It was an opportunity to introduce the regional community to @JACCJournals We had an incredible faculty discussing this very topic with @JACCJournals @_KSU 👇👇👇 2026
In this Editor’s Page, I outline why we believe authors can use AI tools to improve scientific writing—if they fully own what they submit. At JACC, we won’t stigmatize responsible use of AI. But we will insist on accountability. https://t.co/yIjXsct4mS

I think I have a positive bias toward the PARTHENOPE trial, not only because I was part of the Steering Committee and deeply respect the work behind it, but also because it does something rarely done when validating risk scores: randomization. Usually, we see validation based on

As OAC pts are HBR by definition, this align with our prior meta in HBR pts, in which we observed longer DAPT was associated with an excess of CV death in this population. Speculating on the possible mechanisms is fascinating, more research needed. https://t.co/odOjfO96eZ

One might expect that ASA on top of OAC increases bleeding, it is Interesting to see that (most importantly) drives an excess of hard ischemic endpoints (mostly CV death) in a placebo controlled study. So too much antithrombotic do not mitigate but exacerbate ischemic events ⬇️
Presented at #ESCCongress: In patients with chronic coronary syndrome taking oral anticoagulants, adding aspirin led to higher risks of cardiovascular events, major bleeding, and death from any cause than anticoagulation alone. Full AQUATIC trial: https://t.co/vHYyFalktf

Cancer and nuances thereof (terminal, active, remission, cured) is of great importance and should factored in for treatment decisions @mmamas1973

Great to see the results of the PARTHENOPE published: personalized DAPT is superior to the (in)famous 12m DAPT. But An answer=100 new questions: tailor based on bleeding risk? Updated score? Congrats @piccoloraf @esposito on their leadership in this all Southern Italy study 🇮🇹
A personalized DAPT was superior to standard DAPT after PCI.📌Here are the slides presented at: #ESCCongress @mmamas1973 @mirvatalasnag @rwyeh @djc795 @CMichaelGibson @SripalBangalore @Costa_F_8 @pash22 @Ahmed43101178 @Hragy @SABOURETCardio @drjohnm @espogiov @JACCJournals

In patients undergoing #PCI, a personalized #DAPT duration from 3 to 24 months led to a lowered risk of net adverse clinical events than standard care consisting of 12 months of DAPT. https://t.co/N1YFaMUkku
