Cardiovascular considerations BEFORE cancer therapy🫀
The first of a 3 part #JACCCardioOnc Expert Panel series exploring CV care before, during, & after cancer therapy.
🫀Goals of CV evaluation Prior to cancer therapy:
📍Identify and treat subclinical CVD and cardiovascular risk factors 📍Optimize management of pre-existing CVD and cardiovascular risk factors 📍Perform targeted risk assessment to help inform cancer treatment decisions 📍Establish baseline cardiovascular function 📍Optimize primary prevention therapies 📍Plan cardiovascular surveillance during treatment
🫀Current tools include clinical assessment, biomarkers, 12-lead ECG, #EchoFirst, & risk scores
🫀Important evidence gaps includes cardiotoxicity mechanisms, impact of pre-treatment CV evaluations on clinical outcomes, validation&implementation of risk scores, & the role of AI.

Prasugrel or ticagrelor in ACS?
This new Debate discusses the evidence, pharmacological profiles, and clinical trial data supporting each strategy, highlighting why the optimal P2Y12 inhibitor in acute coronary syndromes remains an open question.
From ISAR-REACT 5 to modern DAPT and monotherapy strategies, the discussion revisits efficacy, bleeding risk, adherence, and guideline perspectives.

Optimal minimal stent area and impact of stent underexpansion in left main up-front 2-stent strategy
This study 📊aimed to revise the #IVUS-derived segmental MSA criteria for optimal stent expansion in patients undergoing an up-front 2-#stent strategy using the crush technique for LM #bifurcation lesions to predict the 5-year clinical outcomes.

Intravascular imaging-guided PCI was associated with a significantly lower risk of target vessel failure compared with angiography-guided PCI across all levels of lesion complexity, with increasing prognostic benefit in more complex disease.

It's angioplasty's birthday! #OTD in 1964, using a series of catheters of increasing diameter, Charles Dotter opened a blocked femoral artery w/o surgery. He called it "angioplasty" & made a film to demonstrate it. His radical concept was rejected by US surgeons but embraced by Europeans, ultimately resulting in Gruentzig's balloon which revolutionized the treatment of coronary artery disease. A personal note: today is also my birthday, so I guess I was born to do this!🤣🎈❤️🩹#AngioHistory

“There’s a genocide in Gaza, stop it.”
US Capitol Police dragged out Major Anthony Aguilar & Captain Josephine Gilbo, arresting them for opposing Israel’s genocide during a confirmation hearing in DC.

It has been almost 2 years now and the g-side continues.
Our government is under the control of a foreign country and will arrest its own military veterans before it dares to stop a g-cide committed by our controls.
This is not just obvious anymore, it is ridiculous.
Free America from Z Occupation 🇺🇸
USA arresting US war veterans who don’t want USA to fund a genocide!
Israel comes before Americans who’s served or serves in US army!
Or before any American who’s against Israel’s genocide and ethnic cleansing!
Or wars in the Middle East!
US sovereignty?
