1/ Day 3 & last session of #ASPC2021 on special populations

Talk on MI & HF among people with HIV by Dr. Markella Zanni

Follow this🧵on:
🔹MI risk in people w/ HIV
🔹HF in PWH
🔹CVD preventive approaches tailored to people w/ HIV

@ASPCardio @CardioNerds
2/ Patients with HIV are now living longer ➡️increased risk of CVD

Global burden of atherosclerotic CVD in people living with HIV has tripled over past 2 decades

Relative risk of MI is 1.5-2 in high-income countries

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23459863/

#ASPC2021
3/ From US Partners database study – adjusted relative risk for MI was around 3 for women & 1.5 for men – regionally specific

Type 1 vs. type 2 MI: both ~50%
Women – more type 2 MI

1/ #ASPC2021 talk for Honorary Fellowship Award by @NMHheartdoc on New Kind of Prevention – Reducing CV Health Disparities at Community and Individual Level

🧵from session

@ASPCardio @CardioNerds
2/ #ASPC2021
Covid-19 deaths by race and ethnicity in the US:
1 in 555 Black Americans has died

Populations w/ highest disease burden➡️ lowest vaccination rates
3/ Any discussion of prevention shouldn’t start at hypertension, dyslipidemia, but at the root cause of those inequities.

Need to address policy. All policy is health policy.

1/ Great #ASPC2021 session by @RonBlankstein on Chest Pain and Imaging

Follow this🧵for some takeaways on
🟣Stress Testing vs. Anatomical Testing
🟣Coronary CTA
🟣Guidelines

@ASPCardio @CardioNerds Image
2/ ‼️ Imaging tests alone do NOT change pt outcomes but how we act on them might

‼️ No one test is always the best test

‼️ Test selection influenced by multiple factors: local availability, prior training, guidelines, evidence

🔜AHA/ACC New Chest Pain Guidelines

#ASPC2021
3/ Stress testing vs. Anatomical

ETT: exercise capacity, not as great for ischemia

SPECT MPI: reversible perfusion deficits, underestimates extent of disease esp if multi-vessel

PET MPI: measure absolute blood flow, calculate myocardial blood flow reserve

1/ #ASPC2021 Day 2 continues!

@DrMarthaGulati presents on Ischemic Heart Disease Without Obstructive Coronary Arteries (INOCA)

Follow this🧵on INOCA:
♦️Outcomes
♦️Mechanisms of ischemia and diagnosis
♦️Guidelines

@ASPCardio @CardioNerds Image
2/ Definition of INOCA: symptoms of ischemia in the absence of obstructive CAD or flow-limited disease

Check out this great infographic by @najahakhan, @CardioNerds Academy Fellow, on INOCA

#ASPC2021 Image
3/ ✨Obstructive CAD is just one phenotype of IHD✨

INOCA – often normal LVEF, originally thought ischemia not present

But data shows elevated risk for cardiac events➡️poor outcomes

Guidelines haven’t caught up yet – focus on obstructive lesions

1/ Great #ASPC2021 session by @dramitkhera on ACS in Patients with COVID-19

Follow this🧵on pts w/ COVID
🔷Prevention of ACS events
🔷Identification of ACS
🔷Management of ACS

@ASPCardio @CardioNerds
2/ 8 fold📈in AMI w/ COVID even in pts with no ASCVD/FH

Absolute risk for AMI📈in pts with ASCVD. Even higher for FH +ASCVD bit.ly/3eJ2csW

Based on NHANES, 75% of US pop has risk factors (CKD, obesity, smoking, T2DM) for severe COVID

3/ 🌟Prevention of ACS🌟

🗝️Address barriers to medication adherence and access
🗝️Team-based approach
🗝️Regular physical activity and nutrition
🗝️Cardiac rehab
🗝️Utilize telehealth
🗝️Counsel on promptly reporting new symptoms

#ASPC2021

Evolution of ABCs of Primary Prevention by Cardiac disease

How the guidelines have changed over the last two decade

@rickferraro getting plugged at #ASPC2021
ABCDEF of prevention is important!!

A: Assess risk
B: BP
C: Cholesterol/Cigarette
D: Diabetes/Diet/Weight
E: Exercise/Education
F: Failure

Shared decision making is the key to the prevention

#ASPC2021
@CardioNerds @DrMarthaGulati @ErinMichos @khurramn1 Identifying and providing help with social determinants of health is the first aspect of prevention.

Risk stratification by ASCVD risk is the next step to guide the optimal therapy.
