📝 Italian COVID 19 registry

danish heart registry
📝 Plaque burden, not stenosis the main predictor of MACE
📝 patients with a comparable calcified atherosclerosis burden generally carry a similar risk for CVD events jacc.org/doi/abs/10.101…
CCTA before randomization in ISCHEMIA -> high concordance with cath results for identification of patients with angiographically significant disease without LM disease.
📝 Pre-procedural #yesCCT for CTO ->⬆️ success rates with ⬇️ periprocedural complications ie coronary perforations/ periprocedural MI than angiography guidance.
📝 ⬆️ success rates in pts with ⬆️ high J-CTO score
📝 Contrast-enhanced #yesCCT of AV calcific & non-calcific volumes correlates with AS severity and preferable to non-contrast CT when fibrosis is a significant contributor to valve obstruction.
📝 post-TAVR #yesCCT substantially downgraded the prevalence of P-PM compared to TTE
📝 post-TAVR #yesCCT identifies subset of patients with clinically relevant P-PM which associated with outcomes.

MESA participants, Baseline CAC=0, Follow up at 10 years
->15% progressed to CAC >10 in 5-8 years
-> 10-year progression to CAC >100 = rare.
-> consider rescanning in 3 to 7 years
💉 two 30-μg doses of vaccine, administered intramuscularly 21 days apart!
💉 Adverse event data through approximately 14 weeks after the second dose are included in the paper. Collected upto 6 months after the vaccine!
💉 side effect of general reactogenicity mainly headache/ fatigue/ fever —less common and milder in older adults than in younger adults.
💉 These side effects were more common and severe after the 2nd dose than after the 1st one.
Severe fatigue was observed in approximately 4%
