There is considerable confusion in terms used to describe #troponin , including terms that are imprecise (e.g., “troponin leak”) or deprecated (e.g., “type 2 NSTEMI”) (Lang, 2022). What's the difference between 🫀myocardial injury, ischemia, & infarction❓ 🧐 #MedEd 🧵

Dozens of Yale Internal Medicine faculty will be presenting groundbreaking #clinical #research at @ACCInTouch's annual Scientific Meeting next weekend. Find a full schedule of presentations featuring Yale faculty and trainees here: brnw.ch/21wIpi4 #cardiology #medtwitter

A Yale study finds that older adults may have a higher risk of death after complex percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) for stable heart disease.

📖 Another one of our studies on DAPT - this time in older adults.

👴🏾👵🏽 Older adults, defined as age >65 or >75, depending on the RCT have higher ischemic ❤️‍🩹 and bleeding 🩸 risks, but prior trials have not studied shortening DAPT specifically in this higher-risk population.

Planting the seed for blood pressure control! Excited to share our review on dietary prevention and management of hypertension 🌱🍓🥑🍍🥦💜
