Simulation models find diagnosis of ATTR-CMP with PYP can be cost effective depending on tafamidis (treatment) price. @AvinainderSingh#AHAJournals https://t.co/Izq33v4096

Higher CAC predicts SCD beyond traditional RFs in 1ry prevention. SCD risk stratification may be most useful early in CHD through CAC quantification. #ACC22
Kidney transplant recipients are at high risk for death from cardiovascular disease, but are often excluded from studies on minimizing this risk. This Perspective calls for more research into the treatment of heart disease in this population https://t.co/pfSen1c6L1

Remarkable progress of #SGLT2i in #CKD#CREDENCE (n=4,401, 2.6y f/u) stopped early for benefit. Mortality HR 0.83 95%CI 0.68-1.02
#DAPACKD (n=4,304, 2.4y f/u) stopped early for benefit. Mortality HR 0.69 95%CI 0.53-0.88
#SCORED (n=10,584, 1.3y f/u) stopped due to loss of funding
Interesting meta-regression

Rethinking ETT for microvascular disease? In pts w/ normal LV function & no #cvCAD who underwent both ETT & #cvPET within 12 months, a positive ETT w/ ischemic #ECG changes that persisted had a high specificity for the Dx of #cvCMD (CFR < 2). https://t.co/tkAjgNgFzk #JACCIMG

Elevated Lp(a) and High CAC Score are associated with #ASCVD but have not been studied in combination. Our study from #MESA and #DHS shows that Lp(a) and CAC are *independently* and *additively* associated with #ASCVD
Happy to share @amehta_09 our study Hot-off-the-press @JACCJournals : Independent Association of Lp(a) and CAC with Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Risk: https://t.co/wXttDGqdV3
@mandeep_mayo Myxedema can cause low voltage either with or without an effusion. Low voltage without effusion can occur due to increase in extra cellular matrix related to increased glucopolysacchrides in myxedema. An effusion is also possible
