An excellent presentation. Americans should be delighted to have @VPrasadMDMPH in this position.
Today, FDA provided important updates on the risk of myocarditis after receiving an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, noting the risk is higher in young men.
CT based PCI Planning enhanced by Photon Counting CT #CCTA Impressive resolution! better than angio? Want to learn more? Come to the course - very few seats left registration.ctcourse-orsi2025.com/ctorsi25 @ziadalinyc @Bhcintervention @PCRonline @divaka_perera
Optical coherence tomography- vs angiography-guided coronary stent implantation in calcified lesions. Read the results of the ILUMIEN IV trial in #EHJ 👉 ow.ly/OFif50W7yfX @RoccoMontone @ehj_ed @ziadalinyc @GreggWStone
This is the new #PPG Pullback Pressure Gradient - a new physiology-based paradigm in coronary decision-making High PPG = focal CAD / Low PPG = diffuse CAD We hope PPG helps us become better interventional cardiologists🙏 @PCRonline @AbbottCardio @coroventis @TCTMD @CoreAalst
Each day ask if you are really “free” or if Your worth = your h-index Your value = your grant dollars Your career = your titles Sacrifice is glorified Exhaustion is normalized Obedience is excellence Leaving is considered failure & you are told you will not survive

Can #CCTA detect calcified nodules? Pushing boundaries to detect calcified nodules non-invasively to guide therapy in heavily calcified lesions. This is the new frontier 🚀 Don't miss the CT sessions at #EuroPCR @ziadalinyc @jcspratt @PCRonline @TCTMD @ShockwaveIVL

Learning about hyperlipidemia..new concepts that push boundaries: 1️⃣What’s more atherogenic: Lpa or LDL❓ 2️⃣Does Lpa increase post-menopause❓ 3️⃣Does PTCA increase Lpa levels❓ 4️⃣Is Lpa higher in patients with TCFA❓ 5️⃣Is Lpa related to aortic stenosis progression❓…
On the heels of #Eclipse (consequences of no imaging & calcium modification) “Stent failure” is a term we should use more often especially when it’s technical Patient underwent PCI months ago when the ostium was “nailed”..pls don’t nail & pls don’t think lesion prep is the…

Stent underexpansion remains a challenge in PCI, with no clear consensus on management. Our newly published JACC state-of-the-art review presents a practical algorithm integrating imaging and treatment strategies to help guide clinicians. @JACCJournals jacc.org/doi/epdf/10.10…
Congrats to @DrPrimeroNg for putting this important paper together, in a field of interventional cardiology where there are very few and disparate studies providing guidance. Surely a hit, which will be a go-to reference to consult for many clinicians. 💪🏻 👏🏻 📖

Excellent critique of the recent SUMMIT trial in @Sensible__Med by @drjohnm today. Seeing more dubious endpoints being used in cardiology trials in recent years. This trend will weaken the evidence base for cardiology practice and diminish standing in the #EBM world. Do patients…
