Clinicians can enhance patient understanding by using numerical data instead of verbal probabilities, consistent denominators, absolute risk comparisons, and clear context for unfamiliar data types. ja.ma/4aKdivK

The @VascularSVS has published a commentary on the CREST-2 trial, outlining key aspects of the study and its relevance to carotid disease management. Read the commentary here: 🔗 jvascsurg.org/article/S0741-… #VascularSurgery #CREST2 #StrokePrevention #CarotidDisease #SVS

This is my favorite genre of biostatistics: “Yes, it’s unlikely but not statistically impossible.” The true villain of Home Alone is variance. 🎄📈

SVS/STS Aortic Dissection Classification This diagram illustrates the Society for Vascular Surgery / Society of Thoracic Surgeons (SVS/STS) classification system for aortic dissection. It categorizes dissections based on the zone of the primary entry tear, providing a standardized anatomical framework, especially useful for Type B aortic dissection reporting, endovascular planning, and outcomes comparison. Understanding where the tear starts matters just as much as how far the dissection extends. Reference: Lombardi JV, Hughes GC, Appoo JJ, et al. SVS/STS Reporting Standards for Type B Aortic Dissections. Annals of Thoracic Surgery. 2020;109:959–981

Beautiful choir, but even more beautiful is having a woman as president of @American_Heart! And an amazing, strong woman @drstaceyrosen! Congratulations on your presidency & lecture and this amazing year under your leadership! Thank you for shining the needed light on women’s heart health too! ♥️🫀♥️

👩‍⚕️🫀 Most cardiologists recommend healthy habits like exercise, yet only a small fraction follow a plant-based diet themselves. What can we do to support doctors in aligning personal choices with professional advice? Must be systemic issues at the root. #PhysicianHealth

@2Scottish @bikeVeloSano @CleClinicHVTI Geez, I gotta join up with HVTI next year to ride - love the jersey (and potential for Braveheart style face painting?)

10 days out from @bikeVeloSano where we get Braveheart on cancer. Really like the custom @CleClinicHVTI jersey that arrived today. Ride with us. 🚴‍♂️

@scottmwilliams9 This would be lovely!

If AI is so good why do I need to submit papers using very restricted formatting - can't AI fix things prior to review?

🆕 ACC Concise Clinical Guidance Consolidates Recommendations on Immunization as Part of CV Care Primary vaccine takeaways include: ✅ Influenza ✅ Pneumococcal ✅ #COVID19 ✅ RSV ✅ Shingles 📖 Read the journal scan for more: bit.ly/45Qig61 #cvPrev

Had a great day at the ACC Heart House for the 2025 Cardiothoracic Surgical Trials Network meeting! 💙 So many great ideas on improving patient care now & in the future. Lots of hard work ahead and so much to share—feeling energized! #CTSN #ACC #CardiacSurgery

I’m in Washington DC for just over 24 hours for the CTSN Conference. I’m super excited about the meeting tomorrow and can’t wait to see what new developments and direction the network will be heading in! @ACCinTouch

@EpiEllie And I’m sorry I realized a typo there - Ellie*!

@EpiEllie Absolutely agree, Elie 👏 Academic papers aren’t written for the public, but translation must be rigorous, accessible, and accurate so facts aren’t lost in the process.

Academic journals aren’t anything close to a lost cause. The real problem is that they are *too* profitable. So no one bothers to dream up other ideas. 🧵

Other big changes: 📌 Pregnant women treated at 140/90 or higher 🤰 📌 Newer drugs like GLP-1s may help if you also living with obesity 📌 A simple urine test now recommended for all patients with high BP #HeartHealth @ACCinTouch @American_Heart

What’s new? 📌 A new tool (PREVENT) gives a more accurate picture of heart & kidney risk 🩺 📌 Wider screening for a hormone problem (aldosteronism) that can cause high BP 📌 Many people will still start with 2 meds in one pill 💊

📢 New high blood pressure guidelines just dropped from ACC/AHA. From pregnancy care to new meds, here are the biggest changes you should know 🧵 👇 #Hypertension #HeartHealth

As a faculty member and proud Golden Flash alum, I’m excited to welcome the Class of 2029 to campus and to your first classes! 🌟 Best of luck—be brave, stay curious, and remember we’re here to support you every step of the way. 💙💛 #New2KSU #KentState #ClassOf2029

HF can happen at any age—but it’s not inevitable. New HFSA & ASPC guidance: prevention matters across your whole life. ✅ Know your risk & family history ✅ Control BP, weight, cholesterol, diabetes, smoking ✅ Partner with your care team—before & after diagnosis #CardioEd

@JustinLathia @bikeVeloSano @ClevelandClinic Wow! I was not aware of the increased reach of the funding opportunities. Love to see summer students and graduate researchers benefiting and the investment in the future researchers! So awesome. 👏🏼

With @bikeVeloSano around the corner, it would also be worth highlighting that every dollar that comes and goes to support cancer research at @ClevelandClinic and also has been supporting the next generation of scientist for the past two years! impact.velosano.org/news/velosano-…
