Derivation and Validation of Cleerly ISCHEMIA. Congratulations to @NickNurmohamed, Ibrahim Danad, @AChoiHeart, Jim Min and @ARrosendael for their groundbreaking manuscript published recently in JACC Imaging (jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jcmg.…) #YesCCT
We have an opening for a 2 year cardiovascular imaging fellowship starting July 2023. We are inviting applications for this opportunity. tinyurl.com/29uxypmz
Year 1: Structural echo. We have one of the highest volume programs in the country.
Year 2: Full spectrum MRT/CT.
AI-driven heart disease firm @cleerly_inc raises $192 million in Series C funding. CEO Dr. Jim Min tells me that raising cash has been tougher for health tech this year. "We were fortunate not only to realize our financing goals but also to enjoy an oversubscribed round."
Today, @FierceMedTech recognized @Cleerly_inc as one of 2021’s Fierce 15 Med Tech Companies! This celebrates our spirit of being “fierce” – championing innovation and creativity.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. That's why we led 14 Members in urging @CMSGov to cover the use of the cutting-edge CCTA test to detect coronary artery disease. Our letter #ICYMI:
Dr. Reynolds presenting quantitative plaque analysis from #ISCHEMIA by @cleerly_inc - total plaque burden strongest predictor of death/MI, incremental at 4 yrs f/u - in pts with advanced athero, obst CAD and ischemia. #YesCCT@Heart_SCCT@lesleejshaw@jayearls@RonBlankstein
Finally, CT angiography is the preferred test in US for a majority of patients with chest pain, following the UK (NICE) and ESC 2019 Guidelines. Great editorial by @RonBlankstein@DrMarthaGulati@lesleejshaw puts this in clinical perspective
Now out: The 2021 Multi Society Chest Pain Guideline
A special thanks to the entire writing group led by @DrMarthaGulati and to the countless others who have worked on this over the past several years
👏 @ACCinTouch@AHAScience & all partner societies

Cor calcium/plaque in preventive cardiology #ACC21 Dr. Blankstein
☆ risk assessment by 🫀CT - intensive Rx given to highest risk
☆plaque burden not stenosis = main predictor of CV risk
☆⬇️attenuation/ remodelling/spot cal= ⬆️risk
☆ plaque imaging may ⬆️outcome
