A MUST-READ!
This is probably one of my most important papers where I try to teach how to fish rather than offer fish.
How I Read a Clinical Trial Report?
BG’s primer for Busy Clinicians.
Thank you @JCOOP_ASCO@EthicsdoctorP for the kind invitation. I hope the readers will find this useful.

When almost 8 years ago I was getting into advanced imaging- I was told it would be hard to find a job.
Fast forward to today—while IC and HF fellowship positions go unfilled, the multimodality imaging market is booming. The field has never been more essential or more exciting.
I especially loved these slides from today’s #ACC Imaging webinar by Dr. Jamison Borque.
The data, the trends, the momentum—it all reaffirms how vital imaging is for the future of cardiovascular care.

💡 Rare coronary anomaly, dramatic presentation!
We report a rare case of Vieussens’ Arterial Ring presenting with exercise-induced polymorphic VT in a young man.
Highlights- role of multimodality imaging + patient-centered management.

Incredible vision from @Heart_SCCT and leaders like Dr. Leslie Shaw. Prevention is the future. Powerful reminder: ‘ACS is treatment failure.’ Time to shift the paradigm. #SCCT2025#CVPrevention
Top paper of #yesCCT at #SCCT2025 this year at opening ceremony!

📊 Key Findings
➡️primary evens 6.6% in the CCTA group vs. 8.2% in standard care.
➡️Non-fatal MI decreased significantly: Lower in the CCTA group (8.3% vs 10.3%; HR 0.80; p=0.026)
➡️ Procedural interventions similar between groups (~15%) .
➡️ Increased preventive therapy in the CCTA arm: Targeted prevention: CCTA enables visualization of atherosclerotic plaque, leading to more informed risk assessment and more preventive therapies leading to less MACE and CV death
✅ Adding #yesCCT to standard care for stable chest pain not only improved risk stratification, but also prompted more preventive interventions, collectively leading to significantly fewer cardiac deaths and non-fatal heart attacks over 10 years.

Coronary CT or invasive angiography as the first-line test in patients with stable angina? A clear question with an uncertain answer—though the guidelines do offer some direction.
While CAD management pre- or post-TAVR remains controversial, here we used a pragmatic approach that TAVR CTA can safely triage who needs invasive coronary angiography prior to TAVR. This can avoid further delays in treatment, improve throughput and enhance patient experience.
Each day ask if you are really “free” or if
Your worth = your h-index
Your value = your grant dollars
Your career = your titles
Sacrifice is glorified
Exhaustion is normalized
Obedience is excellence
Leaving is considered failure & you are told you will not survive
