Today is #WorldChagasDiseaseDay, so we invite you to read our 2018 #guideline, "Recommendations for Multimodality Cardiac Imaging in Patients with Chagas Disease!" bit.ly/3zZEkeJ #ChagasDisease

Interesting JACC Journals article about possible mechanism of #SGLT2i benefit in HF. Perhaps the benefit is not in osmotic diuresis, but instead "“nutrient deprivation signaling/autophagy hypothesis” via "reprogramming of mitochondrial function." jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

Q: What is the CV benefit of icosapent ethyl across a range of Lp(a) levels? A: Icosapent ethyl was associated with reduced MACE outcomes across a range of Lp(a) levels Read more in #JACC: bit.ly/4aUTF0E #cvPrev

Excited to share our new paper in AJPC: Aspirin Use for Primary Prevention Among US Adults With and Without Elevated Lp(a) sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Regular aspirin use was associated with a 52%⬇️ risk of ASCVD mortality among adults without ASCVD and Lp(a) ≥50 mg/dL

"For patients with HCM...participation in competitive sports may be considered after review by an expert provider with experience managing athletes with HCM who conducts an annual comprehensive evaluation" #SportsCardiology #HypertrophicCardiomyopathy

💬 Incorporating the most recent data, this new guideline equips clinicians with the latest recommendations for the treatment of HCM. - Dr. Steve Ommen, MD, Chair of the Guideline Writing Committee Learn more about the new guideline: bit.ly/4bqEMU7

Periprocedural MI definition should encompass more than just troponin elevation, should also include 2 of 3: ECG changes, angiographic findings, imaging findings, which when present, increase all cause mortality odds at 1 year: jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

Great day visiting the Capitol with California ACC to advocate on bills that affect our patients & colleagues.

.California ACC met in Sacramento to advocate for policies to improve patient access to care, focusing their efforts on a recent budget revision to shift $6.7 billion from MCO Tax, which could have drastic effects on access for Medi-Cal patients. Janet Wei MD #ACCAdvocacy

Interesting study: patients with obesity, compared with single DCCV, cardioversion using the dual-DCCV strategy more often resulted in successful return to normal sinus rhythm. Note pad placement. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamac…

Class 1C antiarrhythmic drugs effectively suppressed PVCs in patients with NICM and ICDs, leading to increases in #LVEF and biventricular pacing percentage. In this limited sample, their use was safe. Larger studies are needed bit.ly/4ecu5qo #JACCCEP #EPeeps #epICD

Ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus using a focal PFA catheter routinely provokes right coronary vasospasm. Pretreatment with high doses of parenteral nitroglycerin prevents severe spasm. bit.ly/3xirPgJ #JACCCEP #EPeeps #AFib #PFA #epAblation Vivek Y. Reddy

In a propensity matched cohort of patients with #ATTR cardiomyopathy, #SGLT2i therapy was associated with lower all-cause mortality (HR: 0.57; 95% CI: 0.37-0.89; P = 0.010). Randomized clinical trial needed, but encouraging data. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

“treatment with vutrisiran also reduced all-cause mortality in the overall population (HR 0.645, p<0.025) and in the monotherapy population (HR 0.655, p<0.05) up to Month 42” businesswire.com/news/home/2024…

The PROACT RCT demonstrated that enalapril, administered at a mean dose of 17.7 mg daily, did not protect against markers of cardiac injury such as cTns or cardiac dysfunction. bit.ly/3AJecbJ #JACCCardioOnc #CardioOnc #BCsm #lymsm #Anthracycline Dr David Austin

In patients with ATTR-cardiomyopathy, compared to placebo, vutisiran reduced all cause mortality by 35%. Encouraging to see more options for this under-recognized disease. #HELIOSB #ESCCongress2024 #Amyloid
