NIH funded study shows bone density derived by @BDI_ai from existing CT scans predicts vertebral and hip fractures rdcu.be/dCbW7 BDI bdi.ai is now in its 16th year providing bone density measure and fracture risk assessment reimbursed widely by insurers

Add another 54% of 11,805 patients from Denmark with LDL > 193 mg/dl also with normal CAC. NOT Everyone needs a statin, i hold therapy for CAC Zero unless DM, known ASCVD in this population with no CAC.

Our new paper on colchicine and plaque just published authors.elsevier.com/a/1itao7X7QCZC…

Great abstract at ACC, garnered a lot of press about post-menopausal women and CAC progression:

Found out our abstract will be presented Heart_SCCT in July - Elevated Coronary Artery Calcium Score (CAC) Is Associated With Decreased Thoracic Spine Bone Mineral Density (BMD): The Multi-ethnic Study Of Atherosclerosis - BDI

AI continues to move our field forward - non-invasive cardiac-CT, with AI-powered blood flow scanning, is safe and feasible for heart bypass surgery -FAST TRACK CABG study -Serruys PW, Kageyama S, Pompilio G et al. (2024)  Eur Heart J. ehae199.

a new study last month in JACC Journals about the validation of Cleerly's AI-guided coronary CT angiography technology, Enabling a one-stop comprehensive analysis of plaque, stenosis and ischemia detection in a single exam. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

Great article covering potential of aspirin use in high Lp(a). Maybe something we can do for our patients while we wait for specific therapies cardiacwire.com/newsletter/asp…

New Diabetes, CardioRenal Metabolic guidelines just published sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Leaving Australia after a great meeting in Port Douglas. Got to introduce bone density international to another country. Opportunistic imaging at its best BDI

Nice discussion with payal kohli on plaque changes and new therapies youtube.com/watch?v=6eFIX0…

George was a great friend and colleague, a true giant in the field of nephrology. In Cardiology, we called Eugene Braunwald "The George Bakris of Cardiology". George - you will be missed, but never forgotten. You led us in so many ways to where we are in diabetes-cardio-renal.

At SCCT in Washington DC. Always great to see friends and colleagues in the ever expanding world of cardiac CT. Heart_SCCT

Interesting paper on BMD and mitral annular calcification out now. So great that we can get osteoporosis measures from CT scans seemlessly now BDI pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38914415/

Great new paper from our group on STOP Randomized Trial - Semaglutide and Epicardial Fat sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excited to see our methods paper on tirzepatide - T Plaque got published - excited to see if tirzepatide reduces atherosclerosis by CCTA pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39187147/

Returning from ESC. Great meeting as usual, except for London traffic. Our semaglutide paper just hit. Will also have bone density from this study from BDI pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39168573/

Looking forward to presenting at a new imaging symposium #SWFLCIS2024 in November in St Petes.
