This state-of-the-art review provides a comprehensive overview of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the no-reflow/slow-flow phenomenon, covering invasive and non-invasive diagnostic tools, pharmacological and interventional treatment strategies, and the key clinical gaps that still need to be addressed in the field. eurointervention.pcronline.c…

The American Heart Association mourns the passing of the legendary cardiologist Eugene Braunwald, M.D., widely recognized as one of the most influential figures in the history of cardiovascular medicine. Over seven decades, his work reshaped the understanding and treatment of heart disease, leading many to call him the father of modern cardiology. Braunwald was a lifelong contributor to the American Heart Association, helping advance its research and scientific mission, and was honored with some of the Association’s highest honors for his lasting influence on cardiovascular care and research. His influence extended well beyond his own discoveries, as generations of Association‑supported investigators, clinicians and academic leaders were trained by Braunwald or guided by the clinical trial standards and mentorship models he helped establish. newsroom.heart.org/news/amer…

The SCAPIS study published in JAMA ~25,000 🇸🇪 participants, ~8 years follow-up. Adding coronary CT angiography #CCTA plaque information improved event prediction beyond clinical risk and calcium score. This is the first study showing the added value of CCTA on top of the calcium score for risk prediction. 🎯 What to look for: lipidic soft (non-calcified) plaque. 👀 Practical takeaway: Consider a CT angiography for risk stratification on top of the calcium score. Link: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam… 🎥 Posting my avatar summarizing the study.

Helemaal akkoord met @prevotmaxime: "“We mogen geen veralgemening maken tussen de joodse gemeenschap, de Israëlische bevolking en het beleid van Netanyahu.” Ik hoopte dat de culturele wereld dit altijd zou begrijpen en verdedigen. nieuwsblad.be/regio/oost-vla…
