Learn how this new tool can help better assess your patient's CHD risk and inform on treatment. Jamal Rana, MD ASPC National Lipid Association

My dear colleague Dr. Robert Detrano turned 80 this year. Beginning 1988 we worked on the first NIH prospective study of CAC, the South Bay Heartwatch and then on the initial MESA and CARDIA CAC grant applications in the late 1990s. The rest is history. ASPC American College of Cardiology


Congrats to ASPC outgoing president Dr. Martha Gulati ♥️🫀❤️🩹🇨🇦 and incoming president Michael D. Shapiro on the most outstanding ASPC Congress ever! Superb science and great catching up with so many of my preventive cardiology friends!


Projections showing that semaglutide lowers CV events in adults with ASCVD further reinforces the need to “make these therapies accessible and affordable to all who could potentially benefit from them,” explains Nathan Wong. More at TCTMD: tctmd.com/news/provocati…


.Nathan Wong is discussing the emerging role of Lp(a) for cardiovascular risk prediction during the "New Advances in Cardiovascular Care" session at #ACCAsia.


🔑 Lp(a) is among the strongest genetic risk factors for CVD & is elevated in 1 in 5 adults & is a strong predictor of a wide range of #CVD events. Learn more from #JACC: bit.ly/3WQGvMN #ACCAsia Nathan Wong
