@DrMarkRoss Thanks for sharing this. Interesting study. The absolute differences were very small though (<1 ng/L) and not clear how loss to follow up might have impacted this endpoint, but encouraging none the less

Really excited to share the results of the EPOCHS study, a collaborative multicentre observational study of cardiogenic shock in Scotland.
Highlights:
➡️ CS = 3% of ICU admissions in 🏴
➡️ Half due to acute MI, half other causes
➡️ 30-day mortality 54%

@cpgale3 Primary outcome modified during conduct as event rate for MACE so low. This was due to exclusion of MI patients with diabetes, heart failure and renal disease where drug already indicated.
🚨🚨Based on @TheBJCA annual survey data, we have released the 2023 Annual Region Reports for UK Cardiology training 🚨🚨

Latest @NatureComms paper from Long-Covid In Scotland Study. Following adjustment for potential confounders, the attributable prevalence of ongoing symptoms at 6, 12, and 18 months post-infection is 6.6%, 6.5%, and 10.4% respectively #LongCovid#COVID19

A high sensitivity cardiac troponin I assay in the assessment of patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome was associated with a reduced risk of subsequent myocardial infarction or death in those reclassified by the assay, finds study https://t.co/Gt4H8Pk8Zm
Perhaps detecting all those non-ACS troponin elevations is benefitting our patients after all...?

@DrToddLee All cause mortality was an absolute 10% lower at 5 years in patients reclassified by high- sensitivity troponin. Not sure this matter to an immortal time lord though? @DrToddLee

@cpgale3@bmj_latest Indeed in those without other high risk symptoms or signs an abnormal blood test is more likely to change the patient's course. We need evidence-based care pathways here.
@DavidLBrownMD David I am an international cardiologist in the NHS in Scotland. I treat patients based on the evidence available and their preference. There is a role for PCI in stable angina, but for many medical therapy is sufficient. There is no less-is-more, there is just good care.
Enjoyed sharing and discussing at #AHA23 emerging opportunities addressing machine learning for the prediction of acute MI: there are multiple avenues worth exploring with biomarkers, ECG, and imaging but we’ll need well curated data, validation, and RCTs.
