Ron Blankstein #ASPC2025 talks about how imaging can refine risk assessment in the young 🫀atherosclerosis is present in asymptomatic & young 🫀CAC refines risk discrimination beyond PRS: risk reclassification 🫀 seeing plaque =CAD: impacts MD & pt behavior #seeingisbelieving

Wrapping up a fantastic weekend at #ASPC2025 🦞 This would not have been possible without the tireless work of wonderful faculty and staff ASPC under the leadership of Michael D. Shapiro 🫀 Excellence in learning at the Inaugural Training Academy 🫀 Opportunity to meet

Ending the weekend on an artful note soaking in Monet, Dubuffet, Van Gogh & Picasso 👨‍🎨 with my own personal guide at Harvard Art Museums Boston, ASPC, you’ve been awesome 🫀 À la prochaine!

🚨Now on PubMed! Our latest paper explores LDL-C targets informed by CAC scoring, expanding on Fig 6 from the 2022 ACC-ECDP. We cover: 🧠 When to get a CAC in the PREVENT era 💊 Statin & non-statin therapy guided by CAC 📉 Smarter risk-based LDL goals pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12…

🧠 Mental health disorders significantly raise future CVD risk, even in people without prior heart disease 🫀In All of Us (n=119,740), depression, anxiety, PTSD & bipolar disorder were each linked to higher risk of MI, stroke & HF. Happy to share our latest American Journal of Cardiology article

Couldn’t agree more #KeepItSimple Whom to treat: forgot #RiskScores rather think Imaging #SeeDiseaseTreatDisease #CAC What to treat/target: #LDL #Lpa #CRP Probably add #BP Single strategy better vs whole primary prevention guidelines 👇 Harlan Krumholz Michael J. Blaha Ron Blankstein

Honored to interview Dr Yancy and discuss the importance of prevention in all specialties, not just #CVPrevention. The epitome of eloquence Clyde Yancy, MD, MSc Northwestern Medicine ASPC AJPC 🫀

Lilly's oral GLP-1, #orforglipron, reduces weight by 12.4% in phase 3 trial of obesity patients. Although not a direct head to head comparison, this is numerically less than Novo’s oral GLP-1 Wegovy which reduced weight by 15.1%. investor.lilly.com/news-releases/…

A new meta-analysis confirms that CCTA is more effective than TEE at detecting residual leaks after LAAO. With higher detection rates, fewer risks, and less operator dependence, CCTA is emerging as the preferred post-LAAO imaging tool—supporting 2023 SCAI/HRS recommendations.
