Astonishing results from the DanGer Shock Trial presented at #ACC24 and out in NEJM today. In patients with ST-elevation MI with cardiogenic shock, Impella reduced all-cause mortality (45.8% Impella vs. 58.5% control) at 180 days. Some thoughts on this ground breaking trial:

Ticagrelor monotherapy following one month of #DAPT outperforms 12-month DAPT (aspirin & ticagrelor) post #PCI for reducing clinically meaningful bleeding with no increased thrombotic risk. Read more from ACC News Story: bit.ly/3VQhQcu #ACC24

Afib in pregnancy- cardiovert if needed! Amio is 2b now! #ACC2024

nice talk on athletes and afib Younger athletes higher risk Endurance training higher risk Pfa may avoid the post ablation HR rise Early ablation is beneficial Mohit Turagam #ACC2024

VT in pregnancy - incidence increasing. PVC may be low burden but symptomatic Higher doses of sotalol needed in pregnancy Higher doses of adenosine needed for fetal management Remember moving uterus for patients in cardiac arrest Melissa Robinson MD #ACC2024

Emily Lau, MD, MPH The 2024 Zipes Awardee gave a brilliant lecture about why we need to study sex differences to advance the care of women. She is an outstanding clinical scientist & we are all so proud of her! 🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅 When you watch the video please sing “Run the world”

Very excited to share our work on the high burden of undiagnosed HFpEF in obesity, now out in Circ: Heart Failure! Among research volunteers with obesity, dyspnea, and no known CVD, at least 1/3 had HFpEF newly uncovered on invasive CPET. A 🧵: bit.ly/3QJwheY
