Can intensive tx ⬇️ CVD risk risk HTN, older 👴🧓
🫀Optimum BP remains uncertain in older pt: differing rec's worldwide
🫀🇨🇳 age 60-80y, 9624 pts RCT, >50% Home BP cuff provided
🫀Intensive 110-130 SBP vs 130-150: 26% benefit with int tx ImageImageImage
#ESCCongress #STEPStudy
🫀 No diff in afib, coronary revasc, Mortality but all other endpoints significant
🫀 Safe: Hypotension more common in Intensive arm but no great syncope
🫀 No subgroup diff
How low should we go? Lower!

#ESCCongress #STEPStudy
➡️Mean age 66 (75% below age of 70)
➡️ Most with well controlled BP at entry
Context of patient heterogenity
🫀Signif impact on CV events
🫀 Tx well tolerated & achieved! (SBP 126 Intensive)
🫀Is this SPRINT? BP achieved similar to STEP ImageImageImageImage
Sorry, left out the slide of baseline characteristics of study population

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

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 🏥
Vaccine ⬇️ risk of flu, all cause death and CV events now
High risk pt benefit from flu vaccine
#CVprev ImageImageImageImage
#ESCCongress #IAMI
💉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

🫀Study could impact CVD health of the world
@NEJM Read here: bit.ly/3yuVqxU
Fantastic study!!!!!!! @ASPCardio @CardioSmart ImageImageImageImage
💥Very Important study
💥High risk group- mean age 65, 3/4 with stroke, high salt intake (but typical in the world for many)
💥5000 MACE: Power enormous
💥3mmHg SBP ⬇️
⬇️ in stroke & mortality HUGE! Simple intervention

Does routine #FFR measurements in assessment of CAD impact Chest pain eval?
🫀 open RCT: angio vs FFR
🫀 1o 🏥costs, QOL- 12m
🫀75% male enrolled, longer with FFR, more additional test with just cath
🫀 NS diff in 1o endpoint or clinical endpoints ImageImageImageImage

Does routine pressure wire measurements in assessment of CAD for diagnosis of Chest pain?
🫀 No advantage of performing routine FFR
🫀 Not necessary, not beneficial, more complications
🫀FFR better used on specific patients rather than routine ImageImageImage
#ESCCongress #Hotlines
#RIPCORD2
FFR in Chest Pain evaluation
🫀 Patients had low complexity of disease
🫀 Assessment of 30-50% lesion based on protocol may have contributed to the NS findings
🫀 Less selective use: more complications with #FFR

1/ From @BeckersHR 10 numbers thank show how gender gaps keep women out of the C-suite

@DBelardoMD @DrNasrien @netta_doc @ShelleyZieroth @mirvatalasnag @BiykemB @dranulala @DrKLindley @DrJenniferCo_Vu
Only 2 health systems ranked in the top 20 hospitals by U.S. News & World Report are helmed by a woman, highlighting how few female leaders are showcased at the top in healthcare.
@AnastasiaSMihai @SharonneHayes @HeartDocSharon @MKIttlesonMD @cardioPCImom @gina_lundberg
3/ Even though female executives are sparse among healthcare ranks, 26 percent of its executives are women. It's among the highest of any industry, alongside finance and retail….
