@DrMarthaGulati A tremendous and unexpected loss for our academic and clinical practice cardiology community. Amir has been a giant in our field of CAD management!

Wow this is so sad to hear. Such a giant. Such a loss 💔

It's not 8. How many birds are there? 🤔🤔

@VictorDayan1 @pomyers @rafasadaba @STS_CTsurgery @EACTS What??!! You mean Edwards and the investigators chose not to publish the statistical outcomes? Why on earth would they do that? Hmm…

🚑BREAKING NEWS. This is massive. 10 year PARTNER 2 data has been released by the company. No statistical analyses were performed. But I performed them and these is what happened at 10 years. @pomyers @rafasadaba @STS_CTsurgery @EACTS

@VictorDayan1 @AATSHQ Congratulations, Victor! Certainly a model we should emulate and foster!

I am deeply honored and glad for @AATSHQ⁩ Board of Directors for opening opportunities of leadership to non-US members. A strategy other societies should follow.

@PinakShahMD Congratulations @PinakShahMD

Looking forward to a new position as Director of Interventional Cardiology at Mass General Brigham. With incredible colleagues throughout the system, we will build the most comprehensive IC program internationally.

@gabrielsteg @Drroxmehran Congratulations on attaining this perpetual honor for your parents!

inaugurated today in #Paris in the name of my parents !

@RevDaniel 6’3” is Trump’s girth, not his height.

@VictorDayan1 @rafasadaba @EACTS @RMSSAA Congratulations, Victor, on your leadership in EACTS and LACES!

This is the Presidential Chain received by my great friend @rafasadaba on behalf of @EACTS. Tomorrow it’s time to hand it over to @RMSSAA. Sorrow for leaving and happiness for the new fresh leaders taking such a responsibility.

@DavidLBrownMD But he fits the key Cabinet recruitment criteria for being a disrupter and otherwise lacking the requisite experience and credentials of the department he is tasked to lead.

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine These impt findings are c/w what has been observed since the COURAGE Trial in 2007 and BARI-2D in 2009 that multifaceted secondary prevention + lifestyle changes (OMT) alone reduce death/MI, but are achieved in <15-20% patients in routine practice. Why such low implementation?

@CMichaelGibson I assume we should answer only yes or no, and not divulge what we see?

Good morning all you experts in imaging Are you a real visual athlete? What number do you see? #cmgsees …

@heartdr_kabir @CircOutcomes @Nobu0129 @MidAmericaHeart @maggioni5 @W66588221White @FaRodriguezMD @SripalBangalore The totality of evidence derived from all the recent trials since 2000 shows that, for CV event reduction, PCI combined with OMT (secondary prevention + life style change) is not superior to OMT alone. As we’ve also known for 30+ years, revasc. Is better for angina relief & QOL.

@BaimInstitute @JJheart_doc @CMichaelGibson So very well-deserved, Jim. Congratulations!!

The Baim Institute is proud to announce that Dr. James Januzzi (Chief Scientific Officer) has been selected as the inaugural incumbent of the C. Michael Gibson Chair of Medicine at the Baim Institute for Clinical Research. @JJheart_doc @CMichaelGibson

@drjohnm @DavidLBrownMD @djc795 And we lack compelling evidence of benefit for CV event reduction with PCI except in high-risk anatomic subsets, and which are the minority of stable CAD patients. Plus, despite the proven benefits of OMT, it remains woefully underutilized in practice. Why?

The issue is how in the world did the whole revascularization first with CABG then with PTCA, then stents get so solidly established. It happened despite little evidence for benefit. AVERT largely ignored. I forgot about it. cc @DavidLBrownMD @webmd11 @djc795

In my work with @AndrewFoy82 @MRuzieh over at @CVtrials I discovered another shocking trial. Pts with severe CAD. One group gets PTCA (fixed). One group gets tablet (atorvastatin) AVERT trial nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NE… Amazingly -- LOOK AT THIS DATA for major adverse events

@Coronary4front @DFCapodanno @CMichaelGibson @mmamas1973 @mirvatalasnag @gbiondizoccai @SABOURETCardio @djc795 @GreggWStone @SripalBangalore Great paper and discussion of complementary catheter-based and surgical approaches to achieving complete revascularization in various important subsets of post-ACS patients. CABG post culprit-only PCI is particularly important in diabetics with multi vessel CAD.

CABG after PCI for ACS. A data desert. ⁦⁦@DFCapodanno⁩ @CMichaelGibson⁩ ⁦@mmamas1973⁩ ⁦@webmd11⁩ ⁦@mirvatalasnag⁩ ⁦@gbiondizoccai⁩ ⁦@SABOURETCardio⁩ ⁦@djc795⁩ ⁦@GreggWStone⁩ ⁦@SripalBangalore⁩ academic.oup.com/eurheartj/adva…

@glennfishman @nyulangone @NYULH_DeptofMed @nyugrossman @NYUCVDPrevent @SVRaoMD @LarryChinitz @NYULHCVRC @NYULangoneEP Congrats to the NYU Langone Heart Center on this incredible achievement amidst such stiff competition—not only in NYC, but nationally!

#1 in New York and #2 in the Nation according to U.S. News & World Report! So proud of our faculty, fellows and staff @nyulangone who strive each and every day to provide world-class cardiovascular care.

@JJheart_doc @MGHHeartHealth A truly remarkable man and selfless physician who inspired both colleagues and trainees, and who was the consummate clinical cardiologist to so many patients who were fortunate to receive his care. He leaves an immense legacy which you and others will carry forward.
