1/10 “To PCI, or Not to PCI, That is the Question” Will Shakespeare, MD
#FITSurvivalGuide
*Per many contentious #cardiotwitter discussions I realize this is loaded topic but I’m going to attempt an early stage #ACCFIT overview while recognizing there is a lot of nuance.

2/10 Why not “See lesion Fix lesion”?
Poor correlation between est'd visual stenosis & quantitative stenosis. And, without noninvasive ischemic data, coronary angio has limited accuracy w/ regard to identifying significance of many stenoses
*STEMI PCI already done @KhandelwalMD

3/10 COURAGE trial (OMT vs OMT and PCI of visually-estimated significant stenoses): No difference death/MI between OMT & OMT/PCI. PCI demonstrated clinical benefit only when treating relevant myocardial ischemia determined by noninvasive testing.

1/10 #STEMI from ruptured plaque, less plaque erosion. @BraunwaldEugene pic demonstrates LDL oxidized, glycated➡️cytokines release express adhesion molecules➡️monocytes roll, diapedesis➡️ingest LDL, become foam cell➡️SMC migrate, proliferate➡️some apoptosis➡️plaque
