In PROSPECT II, elevated TC, LDL-C, & non-HDL-C were strongly associated w/ pancoronary atherosclerosis & lipid deposition, whereas elevated Lp(a) was strongly associated w/ the presence of focal vulnerable plaques.

Excited to share our findings on 10-year mortality after STEMI, now in @JACCJournals
👉STEMI patients surviving the first 90 days have only mildly elevated mortality compared to a matched general population. https://t.co/a3SWkLsE0C

This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) after left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) with Amplatzer devices in a cohort of 431 high bleeding risk patients. At 6 months, a significant portion of patients had discontinued antithrombotic therapy, yet the incidence of device-related thrombosis (DRT) was low at 1.5%. The 1-year ischaemic stroke rate was 2.2%, with rates of major bleeding and cardiovascular death at 5.9% and 2.9%, respectively. These findings suggest that SAPT is an effective postprocedural strategy for LAAO, efficiently balancing the prevention of DRT against the risk of bleeding. https://t.co/MC5UuxWsji

🧐Is STEMI mortality still declining?
💔Substantial reduction in 1-year mortality after pPCI-treated #STEMI from 2003 to 2018. Largest drop within 30 days, suggesting early optimization

Bleeding 🩸 on dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after PCI in pt’s with chronic coronary syndrome was associated with increased risk of death and rebleeding after nine years in this study presented by @GroThrane#ESCCongress 👇🏻
At #ESCCongress@KrisWarnakula just presented a large study examining wether diabetes remains a cardiovascular risk equivalent to #CHD@escardio#ESC2022
Watch this clip for the main results 👇🏻
A HUGE congratulations to Steen Dalby Kristensen for being awarded the #ESC President’s Award - what a great achievement

Ticagrelor was introduced in Denmark in 2011 for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
This study assessed the effectiveness & safety of ticagrelor implementation in ACS patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
