The SURMOUNT-OSA trial showed that in patients with obesity and moderate-to-severe OSA treated with or without PAP therapy, tirzepatide was associated with a significant reduction in AHI compared with placebo. https://t.co/weeU9Uu0As #CardioX#cvPrev
Coronary physiology: why, when and how? A 2024 practical update. Honoured to have joined @JEscaned and @wfearonmd on this @MyJSCAI review.

You may have heard of the "5-6-7-8" rule for LM-LAD-LCx stent MSAs to reduce long term MACE, but this new study in @CircIntv suggests that bigger MSAs are needed.
A new "6-8-12" rule?

Simple method to differentiate true vs. pseudo severe stenosis in low-flow, low-gradient AS in the cath lab.

Never forget, coronary arteries fill during diastole.
The gradient is defined by
1. Diastolic AoP at the “top of the hill” and
2. LV diastolic pressures at the “bottom of the hill”
A patient with low MAP and very high LVDP / PW may have coronary ischemia.
Unload the LV.
Rumpel Leede phenomenon after ulnar artery access for LHC. Petechial and nontender with distinct margin at hemostasis band. First time I’ve seen it. Benign event that resolved with time but can be alarming to patient and operator if not recognized. #RadialFirst
I was asked to talk about post myocardial infarction VSD for #SCAI2023 recently. In 8 mins I was a bit limited, so here's an expanded thread
Apologies that the movie compression makes things a bit jumpy, & if Twitter messes up the movie cropping I will add again at the end

Interventional Cardiology is always fraught with weighing the risk of thrombosis/occlusion vs bleeding. Such is true with #RadialFirst. What is the optimal hemostatic band duration? @haisummaqsood @sripalbangalor #AHAJournals#Cardiotwitter#ACCFIT https://t.co/KGnHReFsc9
