Dr @DrCaliff_FDA providing the opportunities we have to improve health in the US #AHA22
#AHA22 What the @US_FDA hopes and seeks to do
Throwing dollars at “health”doesn’t = improved health. This is staggering. We need to change what and how we deliver #Healthcare and where the $$ are spent #aha22
Poignant analogy - naloxone is to drug overdose as the internal cardiac defibrillator (ICD) is to VT/VF #AHA22

@mmillermd1 @PennCardiology @DLBHATTMD @UM_Cardiology @ASPCardio @nationallipid @BudoffMd @Medscape EPA effect on ASCVD in Japanese pts w/chronic CAD and EPA/AA ratios <0.4, on statins.

🐟EPA 1.8 gm (like JELIS)
🐟EPA baseline 46 ug/mL (JELIS, 96)
🐟All on statins, randomized to control or EPA, no blinding (like JELIS)

🐟interesting drop out rate/protocol deviation, covid era?
🐟LDL-C baseline, similar to reduce it
🐟EPA median 46 ug/mL, higher than reduce it (26), lower than Jelis (96).
🐟hsCRP ~0.40

🐟46 ➡️ 145 ug/mL (26➡️150 ug/mL, reduce it)
🐟LDL-C, Trigs, HDL-C no change
🐟hsCRP went down in both

I have never claimed to be fashionable and rarely do I ever match ☺️

I am wearing my heart shoes and my red dress tie from @HeartNews @AHAScience @GoRedForWomen

My shoe buddy and frankly the genesis for why I purchased these shoes @KnightSNPs

Stop by S3156. Dr Knights poster on #disparities in #research. #aha22

We need to fix it. ImageImage
Also, don’t miss Dr Horne’s poster on #statin and #etoh. S3063

If transaminases are elevated and statins are indicated: keep the statin, abstain from etoh

What do we really know about efficacy of furosemide vs torsemide?

I am sure @robmentz and team have something to say about this 👊🏾

Chlorthalidone versus HCTZ - pragmatic emr study by @Areefishani et al. After #SPRINTTrial I use chlorthalidone. What’s the evidence?

PPAR-alpha (e.g., fenofibrate, permafibrate) - Are triglycerides as a target out for CV event reduction, or just this mechanism?

Ensuring diversity - acc21.virtual-acc.org/engage-channel/

Come listen to these wonderful talks in how we strengthen diversity -
#ACC21

I love the advice to have cross professional recruiting, e.g. include other #ACCCVT in recruiting physicians and vice-versa.
#ACC21

Make interprofessional practice a baseline. Implement this early and foundational to curricula.

Make it "a thing" to utilize the strengths of team members in care.

Respect the title! All have earned theirs. Introduce by title in front of the patient

Nice work #STRENGTHTrial team! #OM3

First - primary endpoints not achieved. This is a sub-study.

Questions attempted to address:
- Could higher EPA explain favorable outcomes?

- Could DHA component have exactly counterbalanced benefits of EPA?

1/
#ACC21
Recall #STRENGTHtrial randomized 13,000+. Similar MACE outcomes to #REDUCEIT.

STRENGTH sub-study looks at top tertile achieved EPA and DHA compared to corn oil.'
2/
#ACC21

-Interesting that high intensity statin use in top tertile was 10% less than other tertiles and corn oil group.

-LDL-C was 7 mg/dL higher in top tertile group than next highest (T1)

-Achieved EPA (443%) and DHA (68%) is c/w with dose 2200 mg, 800 mg respectively
