@rblument1 @khurramn1 @MichaelJBlaha @CiccaroneCenter @hopkinsheart @HMHCardioFellow @MethodistHosp @DrMarthaGulati @WilliamZoghbi Dancavas II was flawed by a huge lack of participation - 38% of invited participants did not attend the screening. Among screened individuals "attending screening was associated with 50% lower mortality and 30% reduced risk of MACE" Best proof of concept EVER for CAC Screening.

@gcfmd @HeartDocSadiya @AnnMarieNavar @ericpetersonMD @boback @kaulcsmc @JAMA_current @DrMarthaGulati @kewatson @HeartBobH Dancavas II worked in persons who actually showed up for screening (62%): "In the adjusted per-protocol analysis, attending screening was associated with 50% lower mortality and 30% reduced risk of MACE". But you need to get screened to get the benefit of screening.

Just received word from NIH that we will be funded to look at @bdi_ai analytics of liver fat, epicardial fat and PFAI in 900 participants of the MASALA Study.

[Matthew Budoff MD @BudoffMd]

Scapis just presented at ESC incredible data on CAC - Among nearly 13,000 participants with CAC=0, only 69 experienced a CHD event, approximately 0.5% over 10 years, well below a 1% 10 year event rate. The largest proof of concept in a prospective study showing the power of ZERO

[Matthew Budoff MD @BudoffMd]

So fortunate to have NIH funds to continue our https://t.co/fQoJms5b4T research on EAT and non-contrast PFAI that we started over 5 years ago. @bdi_ai

Excited to see that my favorite website for evidence based recommendations @JiroHealth has a partnership with NEJM

Congratulations to my CT Fellow Ruben Mora for a great paper on EAT and Liver fat, based largely on our work with @bdi_ai and The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

Perhaps one of the most important papers I have published, showing CAC can be similarly predictive of events using lung CT or gated CAC studies. Opens the door for 17 million more scans per year https://t.co/Xf16jN5kr0

Statins, PCSK9 inhibitors, GLP-1s - how they change plaque on cardiac CT. I'll be presenting at the 3rd Annual Southwest Florida Cardiovascular Imaging Symposium this November 13-15 in St. Pete Beach, Should be a great one. #SWFLCIS

So important to keep learning from AI on how to make cardiac imaging better and more predictive.

@rblument1 @aspc Noone deserves it more. Congratulations Keith.

Just presented on the ketogenic diet and effect on lipids and plaque progression at @HeartinDiabetes meeting, very well received. Still need to understand the 50% of participants who had NO coronary plaque
@realCSF @realDaveFeldman

[Matthew Budoff MD @BudoffMd]

@bdi_ai has another breakthrough on BMD assessment from cardiac CT and changes with therapy.

So proud of our work with AI to better understand plaque characteristics in women with chest pain
