We knew clopidogrel was better a long time ago. And without a higher bleeding risk. Read CAPRIE. Was just really expensive at the time. Now it's my SAPT of choice for most pts when I'm stopping DAPT. Not novel.

Clopidogrel is superior to aspirin for cardiac outcomes beyond 1-year up to 5-years. Results from the STOPDAPT-2 ACS and STOPDAPT-2 Total Cohort. Should it be a lifelong maintenance therapy? @HirotWatanabeMD @MNatsuaki @KoYamamoto7 ahajrnls.org/3PlxLhD

In the #Tuxedo2 #RCT of 1800 patients with #T2DM & #MVD in India undergoing #PCI, #ticagrelor not proven non-inferior to #prasugrel on PEP of #MACE
Point estimates favoured prasugrel across endpoints
Non-inferiority margin 5%
Congrats @SripalBangalore & team

This is what you get from Trump. Violence against people caring for your children, only because of their color and spanish accent. Witnesses say she has a work permit. Teaches kids spanish at an immersion school.

ICE arrest preschool teacher—drag her out of class in front of "traumatized" children.
Agents slam her face-first into the outer glass door as they push her outside—then shove her against their vehicle.
School was forced to close—as both teachers and parents became too afraid to show up at the location.
The teacher has a legal work permit and passed a background check in order to teach at the Spanish immersion preschool and daycare—according to witness interviews.
"We wanted to give our children the gift of speaking another language," said one parent.
"It’s just such a welcoming and sunny and happy place. The teachers are encouraged to share their culture and traditions with the children."
The incident occurred at Rayito de Sol preschool and daycare in the Roscoe Village neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. #DemsUnited

A very nice study from #EACTS2025. I will cover today on the This Week in Cardiology podcast. Once again, guidelines are too aggressive. And biased toward action.

Despite a high incidence of new-onset AF after CABG (48%), AF burden was minimal after 30 days. Is long-term anticoagulation still warranted?

🚨 NEW: Netflix secretly recorded an interview with Dr. Jane Goodall in March, set to air only after her death.
In it, she says she wishes Trump and Elon Musk could be blasted into space… and closes with:
“Don’t lose hope.”
Now that’s a final message.

Its easy to get discouraged by the marathoners, bodybuilders, etc. Sure that's great, but not necessary. Do enough, the benefits follow

Agent ISR- YES!! Nearly three-quarters of the patients had intravascular image guided ISR PCI….and the outcomes were very good. Now that’s progress! Let’s next hope for rapid FDA approval of Agent coupled with wide adoption of intravascular imaging for all ISR cases.

Safety of Continuing #MRA Treatment in Patients with #HFrEF and Severe Kidney Disease
In this study from the Swedish Heart Failure Registry of 33,942 HFrEF patients (EF < 40%):
📍51% received MRA, with varying rates across #eGFR levels.
📍Higher eGFR & severe HF features correlated with more MRA use.
📍MRA use didn't increase risk of renal events, all-cause ☠️, or 🏥 across eGFR levels, including severe #CKD
