Our FASTEMI study is now published! 🎉
This quick and practical POCUS protocol in STEMI can be truly decisive: it guides management, identifies critical differential diagnoses, and achieves a 97% negative predictive value for in-hospital mortality.

> 600,000 left atrial appendage devices have been placed

NOT NONINFERIOR 👇🏻

Trial is large, nonindustry funded and done in experienced centers in Germany

Endpoint had both efficacy and safety components and still did not make non-inferiority

I tried to tell you all

Echo DD guidelines are consensus based and require testing to determine clinical utility. In this multicenter study with gold standard dx, we show poor sensitivity and accuracy for resting and exercise echo criteria. @JACCJournals

LAAC vs best medical care

Thrombotic events - higher

Bleeding events -- higher (counting procedure; also see AVERROES)

CV death -- higher (please don't dare tell me that it was noise because if you do, let's relook at PROTECT and PREVAIL

LAAC done in experienced labs

Here are my takeaways for the 7 most relevant and important #ESCCongress2025 for generalists

AQUATIC, HI-PRO, RETREAT-FRAIL, DIGIT-HF, DAN-RSV were most practicing changing

POTCAST was most contentious - not as billed

@PrakashUpretiMD @GreggWStone @DLBHATTMD We also have evidence from the HOST-EXAM study, korean population.
