*NEW* in @JAHA_AHA. How much will your patient improve after CTO PCI? We developed the OPEN-AP score (calculator available at https://t.co/Jj2aTVT2Aw) to help clinicians identify patients most likely to benefit from #PCI of a #CTO lesion. #CTO101 https://t.co/Q5P8GBLYQx 1/5

PCI among anticoagulated patients: Potential opportunity for CYP2C19 genotyping to optimize bleeding/ischemic risks discussed by @DimitriMaamari @FaroucJaffer @amitvkhera @aklfahed cc @MGH_IC_Research @MGHHeartHealth @CircAHA @GenPrecisionMed

In patients on anticoagulation, aspirin is discontinued as soon as few days after PCI, continuing OAC+clopidogrel. BUT up to 15% of people are poor metabolizers of clopidogrel. Should CYP2C19 genotyping be routine? We discuss in @CircAHA https://t.co/p953cqHuy5

Over an 18-year period, the proportion of patients with an indication for AVR who did not receive AVR has remained substantial despite the rapid growth of AVR volumes. Great collaboration from IC PIs @SammyElmariahMD @NilayPatelMD and Ignacio Inglessis, MD https://t.co/xaddXVPnBe
