“If someone has high Lp(a), you can use PREVENT and generally feel pretty confident that it does a good job of predicting someone's risk category on a broad population-level at least," said @hsbhatia.bsky.social. Read more about AHA's calculator for assessing ASCVD: www.tctmd.com/news/prevent...
Disparities in statin use following identification of coronary artery calcium
New study shows disparities in statin use after coronary artery calcium (CAC) is identified — highlighting gaps in preventive care. Equity in guideline-based treatment is critical. ow.ly/Grr950Vz5a4

#CAC Distribution & CV Risk: MESA
Number & specific arteries with CAC were independently associated with CV risk & addition of these metrics to traditional RFs & CAC burden improved risk prediction

Hopefully this leads to more widespread use of molar concentration assays for Lp(a) measurement

On apoB and Lp(a) testing... "they have the greatest evidence supporting their value above and beyond the traditional lipid panel." Good discussion with @drlaxmimehta.bsky.social and @michaeldshapiro.bsky.social #cardiosky www.acc.org/Latest-in-Ca...
Combination of homocysteine, hs-CRP & Lp(a) rather than individual biomarkers may better identify individuals at greatest risk for ASCVD events

As #Severance s2 finally streams tonight, I just wanted to say thanks to all the incredible fans who have waited so long and stuck with us. Our hope is you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.
It’s never finished till you engage with it. So excited for the dialogue to begin.

Today has been a magical, special day.
I had the honour of representing Cedars Sinai & presenting at the White House on where we need to go in Women’s Cardiovascular Health.
I am still pinching myself. How was this real???? #savingwomenshearts #womenscardiovascularhealth @smidtheart.bsky.social

Our new paper @jaccjournals.bsky.social showing that, in MESA, # of vessels with CAC and presence of CAC in the RCA are independently associated with risk beyond CAC burden. Addition of these measures to the CAC score + PCE or PREVENT improves risk prediction.

Awesome work by @alexrazavi.bsky.social!
In our new study in EJPC, optimal CVD risk factor control was a/w lower risk across Lp(a) levels, though residual risk remains. These results show the importance of aggressive risk factor mgmt in patients with elevated Lp(a). @alexrazavi.bsky.social
