Please repeat after me:
An elevated CT Calcium Score is NOT a Risk Factor for heart disease.
It IS Heart Disease.

Mr. President, Ukraine did not “start” this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.🇺🇸🇺🇦

A lot of great trials presented at #ACC24 @ACCinTouch in Atlanta- here’s my summary:
Nayef Abouzaki, MD retweeted
A long-waited PREVENT trial is now presented at LBCT-V #ACC2024
🇰🇷From the inception of trial to completion of trial took a decade.
✅1,606 pts with intracoronary imaging-detected “Vulnerable Plaque” randomized 1:1 to (1) Preventive PCI vs (2) OMT alone.
✅Prevent PCI significantly reduce primary composite endpoint (CV death, TV-MI, TVR, hospitalization for UA) at 2 yr. The effect of Preventive PCI was sustained up to 7 years.
✅First RCT shows that Preventive PCI is effective for non-flow limiting vulnerable atherosclerosis coronary plaque.
✅We believe that PREVENT would be one of the seminal investigations in the history of PCI.

#Christmas is a moment for compassion & reflection.
All of us can draw inspiration from this season, and bring more empathy & solidarity into the world.
My best wishes to everyone celebrating.
Medicare reimbursements for doctors are set to drop by 3.37% on January 1. @markwarner, as an interventional cardiologist, I know firsthand how this will negatively affect our communities. Congress must intervene now to safeguard patient care!
