so Proud of my fellow who got this important paper out.
@bdi_ai
ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/…
Just received word from NIH that we will be funded to look at @bdi_ai analytics of liver fat, epicardial fat and PFAI in 900 participants of the MASALA Study.
Scapis just presented at ESC incredible data on CAC - Among nearly 13,000 participants with CAC=0, only 69 experienced a CHD event, approximately 0.5% over 10 years, well below a 1% 10 year event rate. The largest proof of concept in a prospective study showing the power of ZERO
Excited to see that my favorite website for evidence based recommendations @JiroHealth has a partnership with NEJM

Peer-reviewed evidence from @NEJM is now in Jiro, bringing trusted medical knowledge into a more personalized Practice Intelligence experience.
Trusted evidence. Personalized insight.

Congratulations to my CT Fellow Ruben Mora for a great paper on EAT and Liver fat, based largely on our work with @bdi_ai and The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

Perhaps one of the most important papers I have published, showing CAC can be similarly predictive of events using lung CT or gated CAC studies. Opens the door for 17 million more scans per year ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.…
Statins, PCSK9 inhibitors, GLP-1s - how they change plaque on cardiac CT. I'll be presenting at the 3rd Annual Southwest Florida Cardiovascular Imaging Symposium this November 13-15 in St. Pete Beach, Should be a great one. #SWFLCIS

So important to keep learning from AI on how to make cardiac imaging better and more predictive.

Just presented on the ketogenic diet and effect on lipids and plaque progression at @HeartinDiabetes meeting, very well received. Still need to understand the 50% of participants who had NO coronary plaque
@realCSF @realDaveFeldman
So proud of our work with AI to better understand plaque characteristics in women with chest pain

Wishing everyone a wonderful Mothers Day. We all either - have, had or are mothers, so we can all celebrate a wonderful day together. To all the special women of Medicine, this is especially for you. You give so much of your time, energy and knowledge to us, we appreciate you
Had a nice discussion with Aaron Malcolm on his podcast on a breadth of CV topics

So proud to have worked on this Kawasaki's educational video with Jane Burns MD

The 2026 ACC/AHA Dyslipidemia Guidelines now officially promote coronary artery calcium as a Level 1 class of recommendation - not once, but 6 times. The final step in the 36 year journey since Agatston published the first paper in 1990. @khurramn1 @RonBlankstein @rblument1
Rigorous validation of AI tools in cardiology isn't just important—it's essential.
I believe in the data behind @HeartflowPlaque Analysis.
