⁉️What on earth is Lp (a) and why does it matter⁉️
Need a primer this mysterious little molecule❓
Look no further than my first ever @CardioNerds InfoGraphic below 👇

In @JAMACardio, we compare cardiovascular hospitalization rates in the US 🇺🇸 to another high-income country w/ a universal health system - Denmark 🇩🇰
CV hospitalizations were 1.5X ⬆️ US vs Denmark, driven by MI & HF. Income-based gaps also greater in 🇺🇸

1/20: 50 y/o M with HTN & a family history of premature CAD presents to discuss the results of his labs. His Lp(a) is 200 nmol/L. His 10-year ASCVD risk based on the pooled cohort equation is 9.1%. What does his elevated Lp(a) level signify? How should your management change?

Two important implications of this NHANES-based paper from @ShoaClarke @blakewthomson @StanfordMed. For younger adults (20-39yo), (1) current risk prediction is woefully insufficient, and (2) when elevated risk is recognized, there needs to be markedly better implementation of statins sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Another outcomes trial win for GLP-1 medicines now with Semaglutide and the ESSENCE trial in metabolic liver disease with reduction in both inflammation and fibrosis #MASH novonordisk.com/content/nnco…
Super proud of this work comparing plaque burden assessment by CCTA and CAC scoring. Big thanks to an all-star team of imaging experts for their mentorship and guidance! @RAQuintMD @TiffanyDong6 @MichaelJBlaha @lesleejshaw
Thrilled to see our manuscript is now published! Huge congratulations to @CFAndersenMD, #NV, @TiffanyDong6, @MichaelJBlaha and @lesleejshaw!

‼️Excited to release my infographic on invasive🫀pressure ratios in the cath lab👇🥳
Initially, I didn't understand the "how" 🤔or "why" 🤷♀️behind these tools. Now, I hope this can help others learn too! 🤓
🙏to @nazliokumus, @a_h_ghoneem, and the @CardioNerds team for the help!

Now in #EJPC @ESC_Journals, @CFAndersenMD @mghmedres 🔎s Lp(a) testing 🧪 across Mass General Brigham 2000-2023
66,937 Lp(a) assays
5.8% w/ coronary 🫀 dz had testing
⬇️ testing in women (OR 0.73), Black pts (0.58)
Testing more common *after* CHD dx

@CFAndersenMD @mghmedres presenting data on trends/disparities in Lp(a) testing 🧪 in the MGB system from 2000-present at #ACC24 @ACCinTouch
▪️Testing rates low across the study period but ⬆️ing since 2020
▪️Women and Black patients less likely to be tested
Paper coming soon!
Spaced repetition on the go🔥
Love this idea from the superb @RichardAFerraro
Great for #MedTwitter, but really anyone with something to learn
A quick, easy, mostly passive way to learn things you often otherwise have to memorize…
Just use your phone's Home Screen
Here's how:

I’ll start with the overview and recommendations regarding Lp(a) as a risk factor #KnowLpa @nationallipid
With #ACC24 coming up, I will take a deep dive into the new @nationallipid statement on Lp(a) section by section #KnowLpa

Incredible experience presenting at my first ACC conference. Big thanks to @mchonig for sponsoring!
