Hyperlipidemic patients with high LDL > 100 mg/dl have significant CV benefit from infusion of HDL/ApoA1 infusion after MI, new substudy from AEGIS-II trial shows. Finding biologically plausible and hypothesis generating, requires prospective validation. #ESCCongress

PCI is effective at reducing angina when the target coronary lesion is responsible for angina. Sounds obvious, but bears repeating because of the implications: This is a DIAGNOSTIC problem, not a therapeutic one. We don't have a perfect test linking symptoms to disease.

1/ Good teaching hemodynamics case w/ #tweetorial for #ACCFIT #MedTwitter #CardioTwitter 📌Shunt run: RA 74% IVC 70% but -> SVC 85% !!! 😕 Given high SVC sat, serial sats & venogram helped w/ the diagnosis 👇

We found that a new subcutaneously administered 2b3a inhibitor improved patency in #STEMI patients We are now testing the effectiveness of this drug in a phase 3 trial when administered at the time the ambulance arrives at a patient's home

We're probably all meant to live with an LDL around 30 mg/dl (further evidence) observational data from FOURIER trial Achieved LDL <20 mg/dl (red line) *lowest event rate (L) *lowest all-cause mortality (R) *no safety signals (R) Analysis from @prakritigaba @TIMIStudyGroup

Our fellows had a very engaging session with Dr Gopinathannair @drrakeshg1 and Dr Philip Mar learning 🫀 anatomy and it’s implications with interventional, structural and EP procedures. Thank you @AbbottCardio for arranging this. #KCHRI #ACCFIT #EPeeps

1/x Mini-Tweetorial on External Validity vs. Competing Risk. Based on an ongoing discussion with @drjohnm , @ATSandhu , @gcfmd, @mikejohansenmd and others, I have put together this mini-tweetorial on how to think about external validity of trials vs. competing risks.

Differentiating VT Form SVT on #ECG can be challenging! We developed a user friendly algorithm based on clinical info and 2 leads (II,aVR). In a clinical validation residents and fellows are as proficient as #EPeeps @JACCJournals https://t.co/O3ASdE92P9

The Clinical Trials Fellowship at PERFUSE with @CMichaelGibson was a period of immense personal & professional growth for me. I highly recommend this immersive, once in a lifetime experience with a giant in the field and an inspirational leader. If you are considering - Apply!

🧵on 'French' and 'Gauge' The 'French' unit of measurement was once known as the 'Charrière', after Joseph-Frédéric-Benoît Charrière, a Swiss knifemaker who moved to France in 1820 and became a manufacturer of surgical instruments. 1 Fr = 1/3 mm. It was renamed because...
