Excited to share our new study w/ @denniskomd presented at @AHAMeetings and in @JAMA_current assessing the utilization of PCI in accordance to established FFR threshold in routine interventional practice

@ajaykirtane@laurenranard@JAMACardio Standardizing LDL assessments at the time of cardiac catheterization could help address the gap in surveillance and LDL optimization after PCI.
We saw nearly 1 in 2 patients didn’t have LDL assessments after PCI

@Ricky_Turgeon @denniskomd@JACCJournals Thanks for the comments! Our initial validation study was previously published @ https://t.co/5XAnm7O1v1. However this is the first attempt to recalibrate these equations in a Canadian setting.

In Canada, we use the FRS in 1° prevention while in the US, the PCEs are used
But these equations seem to overestimate risk in some contemporary primary prevention populations
Sunnybrook researchers are working to improve the accuracy of cardiovascular risk estimates to more precisely determine whether patients should be prescribed cholesterol-lowering statins.

Trad. #ASCVD risk prediction models have critiques. One of them is the use of non-contemporary populations.
Does recalibration improve the accuracy of risk assessment? Drs. @maneesh_sud, @denniskomd, et al. evaluate in this insightful piece out in #JACC: https://t.co/hhUW8EsJkk
Honoured to have the opportunity to present my graduate work examining implications of populations-based recalibration of modern primary prevention ASCVD risk scores at #ACC22 and for being selected for this award. Many thanks to the judges & organizers for a great session!
Our latest study with @HeartRPh@denniskomd examining ACEi and ARBs in individuals with CAD.
Bottom Line: ACEi/ARBs associated with ⬇️ MACE ⬆️ AKI. The magnitude of the association is smaller than prior clinical trials & potentially more favourable in high-risk individuals
Free to read through January 8: This study investigates the association between RAASIs and cardiovascular outcomes and acute kidney injury in a contemporary cohort of patients with CAD. https://t.co/GQjHOQybNs @HeartRPh@accpcardprn@wbaker0621

Our latest in @JAMAInternalMed with @NathanStall, @KevinAnBrown, and team, showing increased prescribing of psychotropic drugs to nursing home residents in Ontario at the onset of the #COVID19 pandemic.
