New episode Wednesday! 🎙️

Ever wonder why so many prevention programs sound great on paper but fall apart in practice? That's exactly what we're unpacking in this week's episode of The Heart of Prevention.

"Prevention in Practice: Building What Actually Works" features Dr. Keerthana Pakanati in conversation with Dr. Neha Pagidipati and Misha Nazrollahzadeh — two people who have actually built these programs and know where the hard parts are.

They talk team building, the real role of AI and remote monitoring in 2026, nutrition care in the GLP-1 era, and the honest truth about what makes prevention programs succeed or fail.

If you're a clinician or health system leader trying to build something that lasts, this one's for you.

🧬 Familial Hypercholesterolemia and Early CVD Prevention
Live Online CardioCore Foundational Lecture
📅 Tuesday, June 23, 2026
⏰ 6:00–7:00 PM EDT

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) remains one of the most common inherited cardiovascular conditions—and one of the most underdiagnosed. Early identification and treatment can dramatically reduce the risk of premature cardiovascular disease.

Join the next ASPC CardioCore Foundational Lecture featuring Ashish Sarraju, Director of the Center for Inherited Lipid Disorders at Cleveland Clinic.

This session will explore:
✔️ The pathophysiology and clinical evidence behind FH
✔️ Diagnosis, evaluation, and clinical criteria
✔️ The role of genetic testing in patient care
✔️ Established and emerging lipid-lowering therapies
✔️ Strategies for early cardiovascular disease prevention

Moderated by Harpreet S. Bhatia, a preventive cardiologist and researcher focused on lipids, lipoprotein(a), and cardiovascular disease prevention.

Whether you're a fellow, resident, practicing clinician, or preventive cardiology specialist, this complimentary educational program offers practical insights from leaders advancing the field of inherited lipid disorders and preventive cardiology.

🫀 New CardioNerds episode!

CCTA is no longer just an anatomic test — it now delivers anatomy, physiology, AND plaque biology in a single non-invasive scan.

In Ep. 451, Drs. Kassab, Garcia-Arango & Mason sit down with Dr. Michael Gallagher to break down:

✅ How CCTA + CT-FFR can reduce unnecessary invasive caths by ~61%
✅ CAD-RADS 2.0 & why plaque burden modifiers are a game changer
✅ AI-based plaque analysis (QCPA) — seeing "subvisual" lipid-rich plaque before it causes an MI
✅ The future of serial CCTA as a treatment biomarker (think: tumor burden in oncology)

The "Power of Zero" is powerful — but future MIs often come from non-obstructive plaque that stress tests miss. 👀

Up to 80% of cardiovascular disease is preventable. So why aren’t we doing more about it? 🫀

Multi-Society Dyslipidemia Guideline committee member Dr. Ty Gluckman breaks down why our current system falls short on prevention — and what it will take to truly change how we deliver cardiovascular care.

The tools exist. The question is whether we’re using them the right way.
