This is a good discussion but I need to push back on the idea of shared decision making re Watchman in CHAMPION -like pts. Namely, CHAMPION + CLOSURE + PREVAIL tell us to not to recommend LAAC. There’s no role for SDM. Just say LAAC is inferior therapy and we aren’t in the business of suggesting inferior RXs

What were the big cardiology headlines to come out of #ACC26? Dr. André Sofair talks with cardiologists Dr. Karol Watson (@kewatson) and Dr. David Cohen (@djc795) about their biggest takeaways. Full highlights: jwat.ch/3OhIjy3

Dr. Martha Gulati ♥️🫀❤️‍🩹🇨🇦@DrMarthaGulati

Hoping this gets better before departure day for #ACC26 but this is crazy at @iah #airport today No PreTSA open and 240 minute wait in the lines if what is posted is accurate. Please pay the TSA agents now. They need to pay rent, feed their families. Donations at food banks needed throughout Houston.

@DrIngold @drjohnm I'm forgetting the name of the exact epidemiological bias this refers to. But if we look at SAEs- something similar- no one blames the colonoscopy induced perforation that later passes away may weeks later in the ICU. @venkmurthy

Dr. Mandrola, correct me if I’m wrong here but isn’t that case just a massive error by the interventional cards doc for putting stents in an asymptomatic patient? In the CAC—>Angio—>stents chain of events for an asymptomatic patient, the last thing to blame here is the CAC test. Wouldn’t the correct application here have been PREVENT+CAC, and with CAC 710 w/o sx treat to secondary prevention target levels? I guess they could have also done SPECT and only revascularized if 10+% of LV ischemic maybe? The trigger to angio and stent that patient isn’t the CAC test itself, it’s the fault of the Cardiologists for not doing their due diligence and taking into account the patient in front of them was asymptomatic.

Thank you Eric for sharing this story. It happens every day Positive CAC leads to a search for ischemia which leads to angiogram and scant few docs can resist the urge. Your pt was lucky as it can even lead to bypass Something needs to be done about this evidence-free practice
Eric Topol@EricTopol

@drjohnm I have been outspoken on the massive misuse of CAC testing for a long time (excerpt from my book in 2011) and have never ordered one.

All those docs who left @x for that blue thing or link out basically were saying that political and in group signaling was more important to them than high quality commentary like this piece by @ihtanboga 👇
Anish Koka, MD@anish_koka

I don’t know folks… @x journal club is pretty top flight. Drug Coated Balloons non inferior to Drug Eluting Stents? Not so fast.

For all of you who stop after the presentation: nothing is more true than the lesson in this image. So many abstracts are never published, and of those that are, the interpretation almost always changes, sometimes radically.
