Indexed RV volumes can miss dilation, esp at extremes of body size. In JACC Advances📊, we show that relative RV size (RV/LV volume ratio) improves detection of RV dilation & predicts mortality in TR🫀. 🔗 https://t.co/9GwOVKx7YY @JiwonKimMD @zfalk13 @Tsay_What @WeillCornell

Drug-eluting Stent, Drug coated balloon or POBA for in-stent coronary restenosis. No difference in DES versus DCB from a Meta-Analysis of RCTs. Will this affect our practice? @SripalBangalore @nkleiman @robertshiuzhang @haisummaqsood https://t.co/Gi2UJutySl

Big message from #AHA25 #VESALIUS: We do not want to wait until pts have MI or CVA to start aggressive LDL-C lowering! Pts w/ CAD, including by coronary imaging #CAC #CCTA and prior PCI & high risk DM had: 25%⬇️ in CV CHD death/MI/CVA 36%⬇️ in MI w/ addition of PCSK9i 🧵

Our paper in the August issue of @InvasiveCardiol IVBT is effective for multilayer ISR at 1-year follow up. 🔑 diligent imaging to eval morphology 📷 stepwise lesion prep prior to IVBT delivery. TLR at 1 year 10.9% - slightly improved when compared to previously reported data
