Happy 96th Birthday to our Queen 👑 @NanetteWenger For paving the way For opening the doors For ensuring we are heard and for amplifying our voices For teaching me to always take the high road but also for showing me when to get into the trenches For teaching me when to say yes, and when to say no For standing up for what is right For being a mentor, sponsor, teacher and friend We are blessed by having you in our lives Have the Happiest Birthday. Love you!

A major step forward for women at #ESCCongress 🫀 The new 5th Universal Definition of MI explicitly requires sex-specific 99th-percentile troponin thresholds recognizing that using the same cutoff in women and men can systematically underdiagnose myocardial injury in women It also recognizes SCAD, coronary vasospasm & embolism as causes of primary MI—mechanisms especially important in women. Women’s heart attacks don’t always look like men’s. Our definitions finally reflect that. We wanted to enforce this in the Cheat Pain guidelines but we didn’t have enough data in the US at that time. Glad this has changed! #CardioTwitter #WomensHeartHealth #MyocardialInfarction

#DOMINO registry on MINOCA presented by @DoryMD #ESCCongress with senior author @anagalmeida1 ➡️ prospective, international registry of 365 MINOCA patients across 17 centres in 13 countries (2023–2025), designed to measure how often @escardio guideline-recommended advanced testing (CMR, intracoronary imaging, invasive functional assessment) is actually used in real-world practice, and whether it’s linked to reaching a specific etiologic diagnosis. Congratulations to Doralise and the entire group! 🔥 5 key points 🔥 1.Testing was underused, 30.4% got no advanced testing, 34.2% no CMR, 95.1% no functional assessment, with use ranging 0–100% across countries. 2.Testing was linked to reaching a diagnosis, OR ~3.7–3.9, significant in two of three models, with resolution rising stepwise from 85.6% to 97.1%. 3.The link is partly definitional, since CMR and functional testing are themselves used to assign diagnoses, so part of the benefit is circular. 4.The sex gap in CMR is explained by age, women were ~14 years older, and the disparity vanished after age adjustment. 5.A treatment gap persists after diagnosis, e.g. calcium channel blockers newly prescribed in only 25% of eligible spasm/microvascular patients. #MINOCA #Cardiology #CardioTwitter #CMR #CardiacMRI #MultimodalityImaging #CardiovascularImaging #HeartHealth #ESCGuidelines #GuidelineAdherence #WomensHeartHealth #SexDisparities #CardioEd #ChestPain #AcuteCoronarySyndrome #PreventiveCardiology #CardiovascularResearch #EurHeartJ #DOMINOregistry #HeartTeam

Incredibly insightful #ASE2026 @CSEchoCa @ASE360 JOINT Session on #StressEcho -a powerful technique with new advances (AI, strain, 3D, contrast) that unravel ischemic, valvular, and myopathic etiologies in the challenging symptomatic presentations we see every day in our labs!

Twas a daylong trip to #ASE2026 yesterday, culminating in a red alert DEN temporary groundstop due to thunderstorms & lightning! BUT well worth it as the meeting today is unfolding w/ incredible presentations, exhibits, encounters & hugs 🤗 w/@ASE360 ❤️colleagues❤️@CSEchoCa

It was a pleasure and a privilege to participate in the excellent session on ultrasound enhancing agents #contrastEcho this morning at #ASE2026 - great cases and practical info to take home - no wonder standing room only! @rajdoc2005 @ErinMichos @DocStrom @ASE360 @CSEchoCa
