MI care pathways should implement early combination therapy with statins and #ezetimibe as standard care, because delaying use of combination LLT or using high-intensity statin monotherapy is associated with avoidable harm. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #JACC #cvMI #SWEDEHEART

Important work to expand available knowledge on ICI myocarditis and identifying those at higher risk. Congrats Lauren A. Baldassarre, MD, FACC, FSCCT, FSCMR et al! Seems ripe for automating using electronic data.

🫀 Can cardiac CT safely replace invasive coronary angiography in new-onset heart failure? 📍 Yes — and much more. 🚨 NEW STUDY PUBLISHED in EHJ-CVI! 🚨 This is a topic near and dear to my heart and my daily clinical practice for a long long time. In terms of practicality,

Sure this sounds exciting, but to date, we don't yet have outcome data to support finding or intervening on asymptomatic stenoses, whether found by AI or not. I would be more than happy to recommend this if the data supported it

New JACC/ACC performance measures tighten LDL targets to <55 mg/dL for high-risk ASCVD—pushing earlier and more aggressive lipid management. Will this shift change clinician behavior in real-world prevention? Can we overcome existing inertia? jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

A new meta-analysis confirms that CCTA is more effective than TEE at detecting residual leaks after LAAO. With higher detection rates, fewer risks, and less operator dependence, CCTA is emerging as the preferred post-LAAO imaging tool—supporting 2023 SCAI/HRS recommendations.
