What an amazing team! I couldn’t be prouder to work this incredible group or people.

In gratitude and recognition of their gift that helped launch Providence’s heart transplant program, Providence St. Vincent Medical Center is renaming its west pavilion the Phil and Penny Knight Pavilion. Since July, our transplant team has given five patients the gift of life.

@ACCOregon @jamesbeckerman @tygluckman How do you use the CACS? Does is guide your recommendation for ASA for primary prevention?

[Oregon Chapter - ACC @ACCOregon]

Aspirin for primary prevention of ASCVD carries a weak Class IIb recommendation. Could a patient’s coronary calcium score change your practice?

@foster_ted Great question. CAC is a great integrator. If I have the CAC information, I do use it to help inform decisions with regard to statin initiation, ASA, and intensity of HTN management in primary prevention.
