@SarahFairley7 Yes, but is there stronger data than n=2 to support the proximal first post dilatation approach to avoid the elongation demonstrated in the bench testing?

Thanks @nejm for hosting this important discussion with Global CV Risk Consortium highlighting the urgent need to identify and address new modifiable factors driving our biggest killer with >40% of risk unexplained https://t.co/F41NpOiJnT @CAD_Frontiers @OzCvA @KathyBelov

Absolutely…. More than a probability … this is the disease. Let’s catch it early and prevent the catastrophic endpoint of heart attack and sudden death @DrMarthaGulati @mmamas1973 @gemtreee @RonBlankstein @Drroxmehran @kovacic_jason @Steph_Achenbach @DrMichaelShapir

#AHA20 SAMSON shows patients get side effects from taking statin tablets. "The trial shows that 90% of the side effects are related to act of taking a tablet not by what is in the tablet." 50% back on statins at 6 months. Important study for our patients. @ProfDFrancis @NEJM

(L) 2010, human genetics:
1st suggestion ANGPTL3 inactivation can lower LDL

(R) 2020, pharmacology:
RCT proving pharmacologic inactivation ANGPTL3 substantially lowers LDL (in homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia)

Lessons:
human genetic validation👌🏽

Very excited to have our abstract on circulating immune cell profiles in CAD accepted for #ESCCongress 2020!
Delighted the digital format means we can present all the way from Australia 🥳😁
