As we use more robust weight loss therapies (GLP1-RA and dual agonists), remember that weight loss comes with bone loss. auntminnie.com/clinical-news/…

if they get a CT of chest, CAC or abdomen, add a bone density (QCT) to ensure we are tracking bone health at no incremental scanning.

Measuring bone density from CAC and lung /Abdomen CT scans without need for additional imaging allows for 'free' assessment of BMD, identifying a very treatable condition before hip or vertebral fractures. BDI has been leading the way for over a decade.

We are delighted to announce the online publication of our research paper (open access), which explores the combination of computed tomography angiography with coronary artery calcium scoring to improve the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

While LDL goes up, ASCVD events reduced robustly with SGLT1 and 2 inhibition, with positive ASCVD (not CHF) outcomes with sotagliflozin, canagliflozin and empagliflozin in large outcome studies. Effects are small, easily countered by statins.

Such an important paper showing increased CAC slope the steepest among SA, correlating with the high risk of DM and CVD in this population.

An excellent review of the power of zero and the low prevalence of non-calcified plaque when CAC = 0.

An excellent op-Ed, outlining a lot of what i believe is the true power of CT images, especially CAC scans, things like bone density BDI statnews.com/2023/05/25/opp…

So proud of my Fellow Ayman Abdelkarim for persisting and getting out this paper on advantages of 256 scanners for high heart rates

As we enter the age of AI, we must remember, simple reporting of incidental CAC may change outcomes.

A critically important study published today by Drs Maron and Rodrigues in JACC Journals showing incidental CAC from ungated studies predict events and offer patients and clinicians a NO-COST opportunity to treat ASCVD. 2x risk of death with CAC > 100. RADIOLOGISTS - REPORT CAC

Nice way to help decide on which obese patients may benefit more from GLP1RA therapy- correlating the CAC day in context of the SELECT Study

Much harder than you think. The basis of Ornish’s approach to reduce ASCVD. Low compliance. Certainly a paudibld goal, but ‘know your audience’. As a clinician, I can assure you this must be a selective ‘sell’

a great new review paper by my colleague Jairo Aldana-Bitar discussing all the data we have on decreasing coronary plaque with different therapies. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Dr. Deepak L. Bhatt
