#TCT2024 #LBCT 👉 tct2024.crfconnect.com/late-breaking-… Some great science this year @mmamas1973 @ShelleyWood2 will you give us a preview of what you’ll cover @TCTMD ❓ @sbrugaletta how about @PCRonline #PartnersInEducation ❓ @crfheart @TCTConference @jgranadacrf @Drroxmehran @djc795 @MCoylewright @sahilparikhmd @triciarawh












Predicting statin response through #YesCCT in #PARADIGM? Baseline plaque burden & high-risk plaque is assoc. w/ atherosclerotic statin non-response. Patients w/ highest plaque burden were at highest risk for plaque progression. bit.ly/3AbEDDp #JACCIMG #Atherosclerosis



#YesCCT> Male late 70’s w atypical CP. CA+ score=O. 2 non-sequential ruptured plaques in the mid LAD causing critical obstruction. @Heart_SCCT














In investigating the age related differences in plaque burden on #yesCCT in patients with ACS, Van Rosendael et al. found that plaque calcification was rare when ACS occurred <50 yo patients. ow.ly/zWTA50JuyIy



CAC scans offer no clinical benefits, often lead to more tests and worry, incidental findings and radiation risk. Need to rethink their use. Time for an RCT!
