NOT NONINFERIOR 👇🏻
Trial is large, nonindustry funded and done in experienced centers in Germany
Endpoint had both efficacy and safety components and still did not make non-inferiority
I tried to tell you all

In over 1000 exercise RHCs, functional TR is strongly associated with underlying unrecognized HFpEF, and associated pulmonary vascular disease. Need a RHC to sort out independent contribution for most 'isolated' TR, especially with HFpEF Rx available.

Thank you Dr Welsh for synthesizing recent #ACS guidelines across societies & the trial evidence to support them.
Super discussion on controversies & persistent knowledge gaps.

Fellows,remember this case if you attend a call in CVTS post operative ICU.A post op AVR patient is sick,has a harsh long ejection systolic murmur along left sternal border.His BP is 90 mmHg.Prosthetic valve disc movements normal.What is the cause for that murmur?Why pt is sick?
The eagerly awaited 2025 ACC/AHA ACS guidelines were released yesterday! Congrats to @SVRaoMD@DrM_ODonoghue and all the co-authors

You'll probably lose your job to AI in the next 5 years.
By 2030, no one will care about your:
• Education
• Niche skills
• Years of experience
But there's ONE thing you can do today to become irreplaceable:🧵

🚨 New #AtrialFibrillation Classification 🚨
AF is now seen as a progressive disease, emphasizing early intervention & prevention:
🔹 At Risk: RFs (HTN, obesity) but no AF
🔹 Pre-AF: Atrial pathology on ECG/imaging, no AF
🔹 Paroxysmal: AF, terminates ≤7 days
🔹 Persistent: Continuous episode of AF lasts >7 days
🔹 Long-standing Persistent: AF >12 months
🔹 Permanent: Rhythm control no longer pursued
📌 Key updates:
✅ AF Burden (frequency & duration) matters!
✅ Holistic management: RF modification & lifestyle changes
✅ "Chronic AF" is outdated!
