A long-waited PREVENT trial is now presented at LBCT-V #ACC2024
🇰🇷From the inception of trial to completion of trial took a decade.
✅1,606 pts with intracoronary imaging-detected “Vulnerable Plaque” randomized 1:1 to (1) Preventive PCI vs (2) OMT alone.
✅Prevent PCI…

Congratulations to the authors and the entire CAD community. The 'vulnerable plaque treatment' hypothesis is validated and will move us forward. With further imaging advances to identify HRP (e.g. fluorescence inflammation imaging), the benefits may be even greater. Well done!

To conclude her excellent talk on labor planning in the cardiac patient, Dr. Katherine Economy issued a challenge to the ACC and AHA to join in supporting the AMA’s statement opposing legislative interference in reproductive health care. #ACC24 #cardioobstetrics

Love the “life happens” language from an organization that prevents life from happening & seeks to fill any time off with useless work that has never been shown to benefit patient care & only creates burnout among physicians #EndMOC
