Systematic review of 13 studies (n up to 342,226; follow-up 8–29.6y) found higher #CVD risk scores predict greater cancer risk (HR 1.16–3.71), while ideal CVH metrics link to lower risk (HR 0.49–0.95). 📖: jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #JACCCardioOnc #CardioOnc #cvPrev @jacbvo

EARLY-MYO-AMR trial In STEMI patients undergoing PPCI, AMR >26.6 mmHg·s/dm identified coronary microvascular dysfunction and was associated with higher 1-year MACE (30.9% vs 21.5%). 📌 AMR offers a practical, wire-free tool for CMD detection and prognosis. ow.ly/h6Nm50WPWnV

IDEAL-LM 5-year results: In patients undergoing PCI for left main disease, biodegradable-polymer DES + 4mo DAPT showed no advantage over durable-polymer DES + 12mo DAPT. MACE, MI, TVR, and ST rates were similar. #EAPCI #LMPCI #DES #DAPT ow.ly/W1QI50W4OXj

Assad has fled. A humiliated tyrant who made the honored Syrian people into a global refugee story while murdering hundreds of thousands at home. Today your joy is our joy oh Syria. May Allah give you just rule and prosperity in the days ahead. And may every tyrant fall. Ameen
