Very interesting study in @CircIntv on time to treatment in acute PE.

Potentially a STEMI-like paradigm.

Does incidental CAC quantified on routine nonelectrocardiography-gated CT using a deep-learning algorithm provide CV risk stratification beyond traditional risk prediction methods?

Well, it’s Tuesday and as good a day as any to publish simultaneously in JAMA & JAMA Cardiology. A smorgasbord of +ve renal denervation data for you:

Dang man.

“I will not whine or complain during the process. I won't be a distraction, on or off the field… I may make mistakes along the way. I won't retire with a perfect passer rating or zero career interceptions. But I'll try as hard as anybody.”

Among stable CP, CAD prevalence of 13% despite CAC=0, I'm not sure I would be satisfied with #powerofzero, event rates may be low, but that's a substantial number of people who may benefit from statin and aggressive RF modif @AliAghaBCM @JACCJournals https://t.co/wx5U4w1mEF

In this analysis of patients who underwent ultrasound renal denervation in the RADIANCE-HTN SOLO trial, the blood pressure reductions were sustained throughout the 36 months of follow-up, with patients on a stable number of antihypertensive medications. https://t.co/eK7C4Px3hA

Promise: More women were likely to have + stress test, could be due to mvd, 2/3 of cardiac events in non instructive CAD
❤️Women with nonobstructive CAD on CTA have worse MACE
❤️Primary prevention risk scores underestimate risk in women #SCCT2022
