Anyone else have trouble keeping all the post-PCI DAPT data straight? I spoke with Dominick Angiolillo at #EuroPCR for our #OnRecord series to summarize where we are now and what questions remain. tctmd.com/videos/on-reco…

Leaders in the field of cardiac CT celebrated 20 years of science, innovation, and overcoming challenges during a special session at the @Heart_SCCT meeting. #SCCT2025 @ChinnaiyanMD @Steph_Achenbach @lesleejshaw @SuhnyAbbara @cury_ricardo @danielbermanmd tctmd.com/news/leaders-c…
AI-QCT (@Cleerly) can potentially improve preventive care for patients, especially women, thought to be at risk for ASCVD, according to an analysis of the CERTAIN study. #SCCT2025 tctmd.com/news/ai-qct-po…
For symptomatic patients who’ve undergone CCTA, added knowledge gleaned from AI-CPA (@Heartflow) changes the management strategy more than half the time, according to new data from the DECIDE registry. tctmd.com/news/ai-based-… @CianPMcCarthy @SuzanneJBaron #SCCT2025
Among more than 300 young, fit firefighters, CCTA led to 3.6% undergoing a diagnostic cath and 28.6% being referred to a cardiologist for medical or lifestyle management. Among the 2/3 with 0 CAC, 83% had noncalcified plaque. #SCCT2025 @SouthMetroPIO tctmd.com/news/adding-co…

I’m excited to be in Montréal for #scct2025. Who else is here and what are you most looking forward to hearing about? (And where can I find the best poutine in town?😉)

It’s been a pleasure watching you grow as a writer @TusharMishraMD! I hope you’ll continue 😊 #FellowsForum
My final @TCTMD piece as a fellow: a reflection on the hidden overheads of cardiology training—the moral and logistical demands we often carry silently. Grateful for the journey. Special thanks to Yael Maxwell @TCTMD_Yael 🔗 tctmd.com/news/hidden-de… @crfheart
TEER with the Pascal system in patients with degenerative MR results in good early survival outcomes, significant reductions in MR, and improvements in quality of life, according to an analysis of the STS/ACC TVT Registry. #NYValves2025 @NimeshDesaiMD tctmd.com/news/good-outc…
Love seeing our 25th anniversary signage at #NYValves25. Who’s down to celebrate @TCTMD with us later this year?

My 1st from #NYValves2025 (and my 1st time at this meeting!): Surgical explant is associated with better long-term survival compared with redo TAVI in a population of Medicare patients requiring reintervention. @ShinFukuharaMD @DrBowdish @TsuyoshiKaneko1 tctmd.com/news/long-term…
Electronic alerts "can help address some of the known disparities that we see, both in women as well as underrepresented minorities." @SuzanneJBaron @SammyElmariahMD @ToddNeale #NYValves2025 tctmd.com/news/alerts-ph…
What's more valuable in cardiology: iterative innovation or totally disruptive new technologies? I spoke with @azeemlatib and @CalleGordo4457 about this topic and more for @TCTMD's #OnRecord tctmd.com/videos/on-reco…
Overall weight loss was minimal, suggesting a more complicated interplay between the GLP-1 and the vasculature. @VHCAMC @AnahitaDua #PAD #VAM25 tctmd.com/news/glp-1s-re…
Dimitrios Karmpaliotis, MD, PhD, an interventional cardiologist known for his expertise in the field of complex PCI, died suddenly at home yesterday at age 53. News of his death was confirmed by colleagues today. tctmd.com/news/dimitrios…
🎥@DFCapodanno shares how his role as Editor-in-Chief at EuroIntervention allows him to give back to the cardiology community. Thank you for this interview @TCTMD!
At #EuroPCR, I sat down with @EuroInterventio EIC @DFCapodanno for @TCTMD's #OnRecord to chat about what it means to leave a legacy in cardiovascular medicine. tctmd.com/videos/on-reco…
Cardiac mortality rates have increased in Massachusetts annually since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, with exaggerated seasonal patterns and upticks in at-home deaths, according to new population-based data. @jasonwasfy tctmd.com/news/rising-ca…
