GoFreshRx trial: Could improving access to healthy, DASH-patterned groceries lower blood pressure among Black residents of Boston with treated hypertension? #ACC26 View slides here: clinicaltrialresults.org/wp-content/upl…

GPS-CAD analysis: Race/ethnicity and country were the strongest predictors for false negative & true positive coronary artery calcium beyond traditional risk factors. #ACC26 View slides here: clinicaltrialresults.org/wp-content/upl…

In high-risk patients without known significant atherosclerosis and with diabetes, evolocumab reduced the risk of a first major cardiovascular event. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

Among patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, targeting an LDL cholesterol level of less than 55 mg per deciliter resulted in a lower risk of cardiovascular events at 3 years than targeting a level of less than 70 mg per deciliter. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

MOMENTUM study revealed high prevalence of hypercortisolism & hyperaldosteronism in U.S. resistant HTN patients, suggesting the importance of screening for both. #ACC26 View Slides Here: clinicaltrialresults.org/wp-content/upl…

@ACSCardiology Stroke or systemic embolism

Among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and a high stroke risk who were eligible for long-term anticoagulation, left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) was no worse than direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) therapy when it came to efficacy tctmd.com/news/champion-…

In patients with acute, intermediate-risk PE, US facilitated, catheter-directed fibrinolysis plus anticoagulation led to lower risk of the composite of pulmonary embolism–related death, cardiopulmonary decompensation or collapse, or symptomatic recurrence nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

DISCOVER INOCA study: In this prospective multicenter U.S. registry, invasive coronary function testing identified a coronary vasomotor disorder in 94% and reclassified the pre-procedure diagnosis in 89% of cases, supporting its use in patients with symptomatic INOCA. #ACC26 View the slides here: clinicaltrialresults.org/wp-content/upl…

The routine use of mechanical circulatory support with Impella CP fails to reduce infarct size compared with PCI alone in patients who have anterior STEMI without cardiogenic shock, according to results from the STEMI Door-to-Unload (DTU) randomized trial tctmd.com/news/mechanica…

This #JACCCaseReports case presents a novel bailout technique—extension catheter-assisted balloon anchoring—for device retrieval, and underscores the essential role of routine intracoronary imaging in preventing such complications. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #cvImaging #PCI #EPeeps

In patients with metastatic malignancy and large MPE, upfront intervention using PBP with extended drainage significantly reduces MPE recurrence and incidence of cardiac tamponade at 6 months compared with PC with extended drainage. academic.oup.com/eurheartj/arti…

In the large ROLLING STONE registry (1,005 pts, 23 Italian centers) comparing #IVL vs #atherectomy in calcified lesions, procedural success was similar, but IVL showed significantly ⬇️MACE & CV death at 30 days & 12 months. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #JACCINT @veronica_lio

In diabetic patients with LM & TVD, #PCI was associated with ⬆️3yr risk for death, non-fatal MI & stroke (17.0% vs 12.4%; HR: 1.91; 95% CI: 1.50-2.44; P < 0.001). However, risk for the primary outcome was comparable between IVI-guided PCI & #CABG. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #JACCINT

In this systematic review and meta-analysis of adult patients, AE incidence was low after short-term vasopressor administration through PIV catheters, particularly short catheters. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

In symptomatic patients without known coronary disease, #CCTA-derived plaque burden and volume independently predicted MACE beyond clinical risk and standard imaging findings. ja.ma/4l2k0jL
