🫀 “PE is the new STEMI” — but are we treating it too aggressively? One of the most thought-provoking sessions at #ACVC26 challenged the growing enthusiasm for catheter-directed therapies. The message was clear: 👉 Not every PE needs intervention In fact, most patients do well with anticoagulation alone The real challenge is not how to treat— 👉 but who to treat ⚠️ Current risk scores don’t capture the full picture 🛫 More evidence is underway. We need to move toward: • Better understanding of RV failure • Early identification of decompensation • Truly individualized decision-making 🚨 Until then: 👉 Avoid “wild” use of catheter-based therapies #ACVC26 #CardioTwitter #CriticalCare #PulmonaryEmbolism

🚀 Day 1 at #ACVC26, ESC ACVC Congress An inspiring start to the congress, bringing together clinicians, researchers, and innovators in acute cardiovascular care. 🫀 From early poster sessions to dynamic discussions, the focus is clear: 👉 Improving outcomes in critically ill cardiovascular patients 👉 Bridging physiology with clinical decision-making 👉 Building international collaborations. Particularly exciting to see the energy around: • Hemodynamic monitoring & shock management • Post-cardiac arrest care • Precision medicine in acute settings 🤝 Beyond the science, what truly stands out is the community, a global network committed to advancing care where it matters most. Looking forward to sharing key takeaways and insights throughout the congress. #ACVC26 #Cardiology #CriticalCare #ESC #MedicalEducation #ClinicalResearch

Join us for the upcoming #HFA_ESC Journal Club as we explore #heartfailure recovery through the lens of the #WITHDRAW_AF trial 📅 23 March 2026 ⏰ 18:00-19:00 CET This session will review the rationale, design, & key findings of WITHDRAW-AF trial, placing it in the context of landmark trials such as TRED-HF & STOP-CRT, while addressing one of the most important questions in HFimpEF: 👉 Can we safely withdraw therapy & in whom?

Living with type 1 diabetes for 20 years, Konstantina Boumaki, member of the #ESCPatientForum, knows she faces a high risk of cardiovascular disease. As a doctor, she understands the importance of regular check‑ups. As a patient, she says these risks were never clearly explained. Her message is clear: doctors need to build stronger relationships with patients, so that they are informed and better equipped to prevent long‑term complications. #ESCardioCRT

Too often, cardiovascular disease is detected when it’s already advanced. In this video, Bettina Kraus (Boehringer Ingelheim), Industry Chair of the ESC Cardiovascular Round Table on Cardiometabolic disease, explains why earlier, more holistic and personalised risk assessment, supported by public awareness, is essential. #ESCardioCRT

“This is a disruptive moment in healthcare,” says Prof John Deanfield, Academic Chair of the ESC Cardiovascular Round Table. The emphasis is shifting away from simply treating disease to asking a more fundamental question: what can we do to improve the health of the population before cardiovascular disease develops? #ESCardioCRT

#Imageoftheweek was submitted by Mohamed Mounir Nesnassi, Inasse Bargach, and Taha Hassani from Rodez Hospital, Rodez, France. A patient with prior MI and anticoagulation presents with stroke. What is the diagnosis? Answer now👉 ow.ly/OZ8i50YvKNb

Where we live, how we move, and the choices we make all influence cardiometabolic health. Here, Prof Paul Dendale and Prof Lis Neubeck discuss the determinants of cardiometabolic health, highlighting the role of the environment and human behaviour in shaping cardiovascular risk. #ESCardioCRT

Cardiometabolic disease is a systemic condition, encompassing a continuum of different conditions driven by common underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, including adiposity, insulin resistance and chronic inflammation. Here, Prof Ana Abreu, President of the European Association of Preventive Cardiology (EAPC), shares her perspective on how the cardiometabolic landscape is evolving, and outlines the strategies needed at both individual and population level. #ESCardioCRT @EAPCPresident

Cardiometabolic disease takes centre stage in Bratislava Today and tomorrow, the #ESCardioCRT brings together clinicians, researchers, patients and industry to tackle the growing burden of cardiometabolic disease. From prevention to innovation, AI and patient expectations, the discussions aim to bridge gaps and shape future solutions for individuals and for health systems. Stay tuned for video coverage! #CardiometabolicDisease #Prevention
