Thank u @Heart_SCCT @jolson106

Was an honor serving on #ASM committee #SCCT2022 & congrats @ghoshhajra for leading this team

My takeaways:
1) #ISCHEMIA captured current landscape of functional testing & put anatomy vs ischemia discussions in the center

2) We learned from those excluded from the trial as much as we did from those included #CIAO-ISCHEMIA

#SCCT2022

3) #DISCHARGE trial will make way for cathlabs to focus on complex procedures as #YesCCT assumes most diagnostic evaluations

⚡️ #YesCCT Coronary Plaque Assessment #Tweetorial ⚡️

By @CoronaryDoc + @AChoiHeart

✅ Why Plaque Assessment?
✅ High Risk Plaque Features
✅ Plaque Characterization/Quantification
✅ Supporting Clinical Data

As #SCD or #MI is 1st symptom of #atherosclerosis in 2/3 of pts, early ID of #CAD is of paramount importance

#YesCCT allows for
✅ ID of plaque
✅ Quant. of plaque
✅ Characterization of plaque
✅ Arterial remodeling

Serial angiographic studies have demonstrated an accelerated & rapid plaque progression before most cases of ACS

Rapid plaque growth ➡️ plaque rupture ➡️ thrombus formation ➡️ MI

1| Good #cardiotwitter on #SCOTHeart. Others have tweeted reasons y believable. Here is my reply tweetorial

Linking my original tweetorial:
2| Let's start with MI def. Billing codes less accurate than adjudicated MI outcomes, yes? Could be nondiff misclassification which bias to null. But could also be diff w/ ascertainment bias (look harder, anchoring) knowing CCTA result, since 2/3rds normal or nonobstruct.
3| It is conjecture. But basis of clinical reasoning is to factor in test results. The posterior probability for this theory moves up much higher when we try to figure out by what mechanism did a diagnostic testing strategy lead to better outcomes, since the radiation did zilch

1| follow for my critical appraisal tweetorial of #SCOTHEART trial in @NEJM #ESCCongress

Basics: RCT of upfront CTA vs standard of care for stable CP referred to Scottish cardiology clinics. 1.6% fewer had primary outcome with CTA

nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
2| more basics: primary outcome is driven by nonfatal MI, not death. Authors did tremendous job at highlighting this

#ESCCongress #SCOTHEART
3| before diving in to methods/findings, how would a CTA first approach meaningfully change outcomes?
