🎧 New: SoCCC Pre-Rounds Ep10 TTM after cardiac arrest—what actually matters? In this episode, @BalimSenmanMD sits down with @AndreaElliottUM (cardiologist & critical care physician at the University of Minnesota) to unpack the evolving science and real-world practice of TTM. From the early hypothermia trials to today’s focus on fever prevention, they break down what the evidence actually says—and how to apply it at the bedside.

The cardiology community mourns the loss of Dr. Eugene Braunwald, a towering figure whose work shaped modern cardiovascular medicine. From foundational discoveries in heart failure to Braunwald’s Heart Disease, his legacy will guide generations to come. A true giant in our field.

Smith: “NSTEMI” is worthless diagnosis. 30-40% of NSTEMI are Occlusion MI, and they have far worse prognosis than NSTEMI with open arteries, in spite of being younger and healthier at baseline. NEVER diagnose someone with NSTEMI. It is a worthless diagnosis.  Very true✅

#AHA25 in the world of AF a lot of science was presented: 1) #OCEAN Rivaroxaban did not signif ↓ incidence of stroke, systemic embolism or new embolic stroke vs ASA among high risk patients for stroke post ablation 1-year prior @NEJM nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… 2) #ADAPT_AF NOAC monotherapy was noninferior to combination for net adverse clinical events in AF patients who had undergone DES 1-year prior @NEJM nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… 3) #OPTIMA_AF 1-mo was as effective as 12-mo dual antithrombotic therapy w DOAC & P2Y12 inhibitor, followed by the oral anticoag alone for preventing stroke, MI & death & fewer bleeding than long dual Rx 4) #CLOSURE_AF Physician-directed standard medical Rx (anticoag) was better than LAAC in patients with AFib & at high risk of stroke & major bleeding

Outstanding primer on the residual role for targeted temperature management in the post arrest setting with @carlosalviar and @AndreaElliottUM - happening now in the simulation size #AHA2025

🚨Proud to present our latest article in #JACCCaseReports to be presented at #AHA2025 this weekend by co-first author and superstar @RubenKTapia as a simultaneous publication: ❤️‍🔥Smoldering Myocarditis Unmasked by Pembrolizumab-Induced Myositis: Delayed-Onset Double M Syndrome 💊 ICI-related double M syndromes are rare, high-risk, and often acute, but this delayed, smoldering case shows why subacute forms matter. Early recognition + multimodal imaging, even in delayed or silent cases, can be lifesaving. 🙏🏼Thanks to @JACCJournals for their support. 👇👇👇 jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

🙏 12/ Grateful to my coauthors & mentors for pushing this conversation forward. Honored to contribute to advancing care for patients after cardiac arrest.

💡 11/ Take-home: Post–cardiac arrest care may move beyond “one-size-fits-all.” A neurologically centered, tailored TTM approach (TTM-HT vs TTM-NT) may optimize outcomes.
