Meet the panel: 🔹 Dr. Leonie Dupuis @LeonieDupuisMD, Cardiovascular Diseases Fellow (PGY-4), UNC Chapel Hill 🔹 Dr. Ido Avivi, Preventive Cardiologist & Postdoctoral Research Fellow, UC San Diego 🔹 Dr. Yulith Roca @YulithRoca, Cardiovascular Disease Fellow (PGY-5), Loma Linda University Health 🔹 Dr. Binay Panjiyar @BinayMd, MD, GCSRT, Internal Medicine Resident (PGY-2), Texas Tech University HSC Permian Basin
Together, they unpack the research, clinical insights, and emerging themes from ASPC 2026 — and what they mean for the future of cardiovascular prevention and patient care.

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!

Quadricuspid aortic valve — because three cusps are simply too ordinary.
When you’re the unicorn (of aortic valves), you don’t need to beg for attention. You just shine and let them realize your rarity .
🦄 💜 🫀🎇
-> rare congenital anomaly with four cusps instead of three, found in roughly 0.01–0.04% of the population
-> Most commonly associated with aortic regurgitation

Longer rounds (ICU or medicine) is directly correlated with missing the big picture.
Short rounds = focus on what actually matter.
Medicine has a ton of noise, find the signal.

Being curious and excited can take you far, especially over the long arc of a life. The person who is a voracious lifelong learner will figure it out eventually. A strong reader with a healthy dose of curiosity and a willingness to try things is hard to stop.

Was happy to talk to @IvanRafaelMD about CV prevention through Interventional eyes! Prevention IS #EarlyIntervention !
@BeaumontCards @CorewellHealth @ASPCardio
What brings an interventional cardiologist to a preventive cardiology congress? 👀🫀
I had the pleasure of sitting down with @AkhilGulati to hear an interventionalist’s perspective on prevention.
And now I have one request for a future @ASPCardio congress…
Gulati vs. Gulati: Prevention vs. Intervention 😂🔥
@DrMarthaGulati , are you in? 👀

Grateful to the faculty/staff/trainees who took the time to chat and answer a question or two (maybe more lol).
