This 5-year study by He et al, shows that using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) during PCI for STEMI patients significantly lowers both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality compared to standard angiography. Read the full paper 👇 ow.ly/j2Es50SSEWR

1/11 A physical exam SMASLAR in 11 tweets. This middle-age patient was admitted several weeks ago with cardiogenic shock of unclear etiology. He is recovering well on the ward when I meet him. This is what I see:

Thank you to David from Abbott Cardiovascular for providing Coroventis and OCT training this week to our team in Raigmore. Regular training/education is key to maintaining skillsets and keeping team members engaged.

5 major signings, 16 exits so far (releases and permanent) and all new signings 26 or under? Yeah, I really like what INEOS have done and hoping a couple more exits are added. Maybe a surprise last squad signing possibly, but unlikely.

1st look at 2024 BP ESC Guidelines #ESC2024: 1) "Elevated BP" stands between non-elevated BP + hypertension 2) Measure eGFR + AU for assessing kidney disease in all hypertensive pat 3) Recommend increased K Intake in hypertensive pat 4) Use MRA before BB in Resistant Hypertension

Historic day today for cardiology! IVUS or OCT as Class I recommendation in PCI of complex lesions. Congratulations to #ESCCongress2024 for leading the way in positioning IVI in this category. European Society of Cardiology #CardioOCT

More on the differences between OCT and IVUS, in the randomized OPINION-ACS trial, now published. Among patients with ACS, OCT- and IVUS-guided PCI were equally safe and feasible, with comparable in-stent minimum lumen areas at 8 months. IVUS-guided PCI may facilitate larger
