In my previous role at St John’s hospital I was one of the TARGET -CTCA investigators. So proud of .lee_ and Edinburgh colleagues for this well designed and highly clinically relevant clinical trial. For patients presenting to the emergency department and ACS has been ruled out, those with intermediate risk who underwent CT coronary angiogram did not experience better outcomes compared to standard care .
So much to unpack :
The standard care arm contained 29.7% individuals on anti platelets , and 43.3% on statin at baseline. 14.9% already had a per cutaneous coronary intervention. In short, a pretty high bar to show improvement in hard outcomes .
The other interesting observation was the signal toward improvement in non cardiovascular deaths in the intervention arms.
So many gems from further analyses to come , I am sure! For now , we still need to be very selective in choosing those we offer CTCA to

It’ll be great to meet some local primary care colleagues after so long away from home , to talk about Continuous glucose monitoring insights in practice. Also excited to hear the multi-disciplinary talks from my colleagues ( as well as some ‘caption-contest’ banter about boybands on this line up 😆

After more than 20 years practising outside Malaysia , I am excited to meet some local primary care colleagues to share practical insights about Continuous Glucose Monitoring . It also feels good to share the stage with my (highly professional but humorous) colleagues. I’m sure there’s a boyband joke in this line up here somewhere .neuro and 😆

From the college of physicians dinner to 21km at Bukit Jalil . Massively undertrained so no personal bests (2:48🥲). Nevermind. Following my own advice to patients

Type 1 diabetes is becoming more common. Recently , a patient of mine did not have the classical features of type 2 diabetes , and I checked anti GAD/IAA/ZnT8. Strongly positive anti GAD means a different treatment pathway and referral

As someone who spent years of his life doing hyper-insulinaemic glucose clamps I am not a big fan of HOMA-IR. It is at least in the EASO and EASD guidance for PCOS and MASLD. Time to screen more widely , particularly as there are now effective interventions
