🆕📝shows diastolic dysfunction independent predictor of all-cause & cardiac☠️in pts w LVEF>40% post MI https://t.co/P6BRpnQJUi
Brilliant editorial by @JaeKOh2 https://t.co/TdH16tRPRF
Why do some patients develop restrictive filling pattern while others don’t despite similar size MI?
Do pts w restrictive filling or DD after AMI have abnormal ventricular filling before index AMI?
Is DD from vascular dysfunction & intrinsic abnormal myocardial function from hypertrophy & fibrosis (HFpEF)? Some pts w just minor AMI develop RFP
Many questions remain- await new DD guidelines from @ASE360 in 2025
Perioperative Cardiovascular Evaluation of Patients Undergoing Non cardiac Surgery :
Important Do Not :
❌Routine interruption of antithrombotics in low bleeding risk
❌ECG for asymptomatic pt, low risk surgery
❌Routine echocardiography for LV evaluation.
❌Stress test for low risk surgery
❌Routine coronary angiography

Multicenter, Prospective, RCT of hsTrop-I–Guided Combination #ARB and #BetaBlocker Therapy to Prevent #Anthracycline Cardiotoxicity: The Cardiac CARE Trial
📍 From Oct 2017-June 2021 on 175 patients (avg age 53, 87% female, 71% with breast cancer)
📍 No significant difference in 6-month #LVEF between cardioprotection (#Candesartan and #Carvedilol) & standard care post-chemotherapy (difference: -0.37%, P=0.82).
📍Low-risk patients had a small drop in heart function, not within the equivalence range 🤔

@CircAHA
What kind of noninvasive imaging/stress tests you prefer in LBBB? Of course, CT angio.
But what about severe calcification, inconclusive results and symptoms? #echofirst#whycmr ?
