With 5 days to Chol management guidelines update @AHAMeetings..gentle reminder in @JACCJournals: It’s time to accept the #PowerOfZero.

Hope it’s not too late! @rblument1 @hmkyale @MichaelJBlaha @RonBlankstein @ErinMichos @MBittencourtMD.
Some thoughts👇
onlinejacc.org/content/early/…
#1 Going back to early 2000’s when many showed RF-based approach fell short for individual patient management decisions... aspirations for CAC ‘screening’ gained momentum, though progress stalled due to lack of RCT & waiting for prospective cohorts to confirm prognostication
#3, while hard to rationalize @NIH aversion to fund much needed RCT, sig progress with MESA & HNR confirmed CAC risk stratification capacity->In 2010 Class IIa rec for ‘screen-detect disease-treat’. At that time many hoped next guidelines update wud strengthen CAC screening recs
