@fau.de study on STEMI puncture-wire times just presented at #ESCCongress by @mguenesaltan.bsky.social
👉 crossover radial to femoral ↔️ longer PWT
👉 immediate ICA of culprit ↔️ shorter PWT
👉 improve PWT by pref. femoral access & no visualization of other vessels

Preliminary results of our @fau.de #ABC-FFR trial at #ESCCongress #WCCardio
👉 neither FFR nor NHPR influenced relevantly by PCI in parallel vessel
👉 influence of parallel lesions on each other's hemodynamics negligible for intracoronary pressure measurements

Our @fau.de study on NSTEMI symptoms at #DGK2025JT
👉 1/5 present w/o chest discomfort, esp. women, pts w/ diabetes, no FHx of CAD, anemia & AFib
👉 pts w/o chest discomfort experience worse in-hospital outcomes, partially mediated by delayed invasive management

Absence of chest discomfort in type 1 NSTEMI patients: predictors and impact on outcome - Clinical Research in Cardiology

Background The absence of chest discomfort has been hypothesized to delay treatment and consequently result in worse outcomes in patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Methods ...

Great talks by @Susi_Jungse & @tara_z_kassem of the @Steph_Achenbach/@M_Marwan_ team of @UniFAU on potentials of photon counting #YesCCT at #ESCCongress2024
👉 Calcium specific scan reliable alternative to quantify AV calcification 👉 Assessment for CAD prior to TAVI feasible

Great session on the important topic of the potentials of digitalization and the use of #ArtificialIntelligence for heart failure on the last day of #ESCCongress2024 in #London @escardio

Johannes Michael Altstidl @jmaltstidl.bsky.social · Feb 2

Great talk today of my colleague @tara_z_kassem on photon counting #YesCCT
👉 excellent image quality
👉 extremely low rate of unevaluable coronary segments
👉 improved assessment of vulnerable plaque characteristics

Our study on disparities in NSTEMI symptoms at #ESCCongress2024
👉 women, elderly, diabetics and non-smokers more likely to present w/o chest discomfort ➡️ more vulnerable for delayed diagnosis & treatment

Implications of #echofirst RWMA in NSTEMI at #DGK2024JT
👉 If present, RWMA match culprit lesion territory in ~75%
👉 RWMA associated with worse clinical manifestation and more in-hospital complications
