Does influenza vaccination improves outcomes in patients with recent MI?
💉 Flu assoc 🫀 death
💉 Vaccine=Class 1 ESC/AHA/ACC
💉8 countries, 4 Flu seasons RCT- double blind of AMI pt, 2571 pts: mostly male (>80%)
💉28% ⬇️ events with vaccine 🆚placebo ImageImageImageImage
#ESCCongress #HOTLINE #IAMI
💉Safe, well tolerated
💉In patients with MI/high risk CAD benefit from influenza vaccination
💉Flu & CVD: 2 of the most common causes of 🏥

💉Flu vaccine does ⬇️CV deaths but does not seem to ⬇️ acute CV events in post-AMI patients
💉Data clearly shows influenza vaccine is useful in high risk patients with CVD. Mechanism isn't clear but does that matter?
💉Vaccinate people after #AMI in 🏥! ImageImageImage
Just a friendly reminder from @CardioSmart
Get vaccinated!
For Influenza & for #Covid- especially our high risk CVD patients

🚨🚨🚨We are failing patients🚨🚨🚨
🚨🚨🚨After 3 decades our practice pattern is the same

It started in the 1970’s with the Cholesterol Skeptics…& now just stronger despite all the evidence

Despite trials that proved the effectiveness of statins, the next studies didn’t help convince people that lower LDL was better (commercial statin wars drove this!)

So patient remained under-treated… as they are now.

Then the REVERSAL trial shows no progression with intensive LDL ⤵️ and lower is better.

PROVE-IT showed also lower is better

And so did all these other trials…

And terms, we still don’t use intensive LDL lowering because our guidelines didn’t keep pace with the evidence

@ASPCardio Statement: Defining Preventive Cardiology
🫀Noted ⤵️ in mortality from CVD over the past several decades driven by progress in prevention
🫀More recently CVD mortality ⬆️ w/ ⬆️ risk factors at younger ages
🫀Our goal was to define the field of preventive cardiology Image
@ASPCardio proposed a unifying definition of preventive cardiology: proactive, patient-centered approach in which clinician, or team of clinicians and non-clinicians, assesses CV risk & implements a comprehensive strategy of risk mitigation to prevent CVD & its clinical sequelae. Image
CVD Prevention goes far beyond LDL.
Lifestyle Approaches are key and we have had @ASPCardio statements on this, including the role of nutrition on heart health led by @DBelardoMD and myself, with the collaboration of many others

👉Rate of ⬆️ of #WIC is just 0.3%/year
👉No Federal Mandate for Maternity Leave in🇺🇸
👉Issues related to childbearing affect practicing cardiologists
💃purpose of this study was to examine
the impact of pregnancy & maternity leave &
associated institutional policies/practices WIC ImageImageImageImage
📌323 Respondents: ~35% of #WIC so quite good for a survey
📌Practices: Academic🎓/Hospital🏥/🏠Private
📌37% report extra call/service prior to MatLeave
📌<8% have RVUs prorated for MatLeave
📌41% had salary⬇️ during pregnancy year

Great discussion last night with the #EMPEROR in the room
Thanks @JavedButler1 @DrNasrien @hswapnil & Dr. Bayes
If you want to view the recording the link is here:
drive.google.com/file/d/10iTYIN…

We started with @hswapnil disclosing his #flozinator status & how we all need to be as well
@hswapnil showed that until now for CKD, every trial of other drugs has essentially failed.
Although renal function was not a 10 (or 2o or even 3o) endpoint of EMPA trials, the benefits were seen
Work by @ChristosArgyrop (🥬Lover & #Flozinator) showed Renal & CVD benefits #SGLT2i
@hswapnil @uOttawa mentioned that mechanism of how renal protection with #SGLT2i occurs unknown. But asked the proactive question: "Does it Matter?"...and now he is a cardiologists according to @JavedButler1
