@AHAScience Per guidelines, optimal chest compressions for best CV outcomes in CPR:
📍Hand position: Heel of hand on lower ½ sternum; pt on firm surface.
📍Depth: ≥5 cm. Better survival vs <4 cm; >6 cm linked to lower survival.
📍Rate: 100–120/min. Highest survival to discharge; 121–140/min ↑ROSC in 1 study.
📍Recoil: No leaning between compressions.
📍Min pauses: Short pauses. Resume immediately post-shock; no rhythm/pulse check.
🎯Shoulder-elbow-heel of the hand in line, keeping elbow extended.

5th Universal Definition of MI 🫀
Here is what’s new and why it matters from #ScientificSessions26:
📍What’s New:
• Procedure-Related MI: Tightened criteria down to coronary complications arising strictly within 30 days of a cardiac procedure.
• Objective Mandate: Diagnosis now strictly requires objective cardiac imaging criteria—such as angiographic evidence of a complication or a new regional wall motion abnormality.
• Secondary MI Defined: Confirmed via ≥70% stenosis in an epicardial vessel (or ≥50% with physiological flow limitations) without acute coronary pathology.
📍Why It Matters:
• Prioritizes Specificity: Eliminates diagnostic gray areas by anchoring definitions in definitive visual data.
• Cleaner Data: Excludes late stent or graft failures to ensure procedural complications only reflect de novo disease.
• Fewer "Mimickers": Helps clinicians clearly differentiate true ischemia from chronic troponin elevators like ESRD, Sepsis, and Heart Failure.

Agentic AI 🤖 is moving into cardiovascular care—but autonomy has to be earned, not assumed.
At #AHA26 QCOR, a clear framework for any clinical agent:
✅ Task — What will it do (and not do)? Clinical owner
✅ Model — Which version, tested on our patients? AI governance
✅ Data — Only the data it needs? Privacy/IRB
✅ Tools — What can it change? What’s locked? IT security
✅ Prompt — Who can change its instructions? Clinical owner
✅ Guardrails — Who watches, and who stops it? Patient safety & quality

💊 prescribing, clinician signs
👨👩 steps back only with proof & 🤖must step back if there’s an incident.
🎯safe, evidence-based digital teammates that expand access—especially for heart failure patients who lack consistent specialty care.
📍What’s your non-negotiable before letting an agent touch a care pathway?

#CardioDrop Debate
Common scenario in my PCP basket:
🫀 35-year-old, TC 200, HDL 40, LDL-C 158 mg/dL, not diabetic, normal BP, smoker, normal BMI, negative family history.
What should be done:
🧡 Statin now… or
🧡 Lifestyle changes + recheck lipids in 3–5 years?
🧡 Lp(a) and/or CAC is the tiebreaker
🎭 Team Early Statin
~ Every year of elevated LDL = increased plaque burden—especially if 30-year risk looks more concerning even when 10-year risk is tiny.
🎭 Team Lifestyle
~ This is a Class 1 recommendation
~ PREVENT usually yields lower risk estimates; absolute benefit is small. Start pharmacotherapy for clearer signals (LDL ≥160, risk enhancers, high 30-year risk, or patient preference after discussion).
⭐️ New 2026 ACC/AHA Multisociety Dyslipidemia Guideline
Class 1
For true low-risk patients (<3% 10-year): lifestyle counseling
Class 2a
Moderate-intensity statin is reasonable if LDL-C is 160–189 or 30-year ASCVD risk ≥10%.
How would you proceed? Is Lp(a)/CAC the 🏆
