Our @SciReports study shows that simple CT-based geometry of the left main predicts flow disturbances driving plaque formation. No CFD. No stenosis. Just anatomy → risk insight. 🫀 🔗 buff.ly/AZt0Ypo #CardiovascularScience #CTCA #ImagingBiomarkers #Atherosclerosis

I pay rent. He pays in vibes 🐶❤️

- Women have smaller, more curved vessels and larger inflow angles - Men had larger diameters - Low shear zones shifted inward in females, outward in males 👉 These flow signatures may explain sex-specific patterns of plaque formation and SCAD risk 🤯 🔗

Reflecting back on a wonderful evening at the @CISOZ Annual Gala Dinner — thought-provoking discussions, inspiring speeches, and great company. Always a highlight to celebrate ideas, debate, and independent thinking in good spirit. 🌟 #CISGala #SydneyEvents

🩸 “Turbulent flow” is one of the most misused terms in medicine. Here’s why most blood flow — even in disease — is not truly turbulent. A short myth-busting thread for clinicians 🧵 (1/4)

Never gets old 😍 #Sydney #SydneyCoast #Australia

Grateful to @NovoNordisk and the judging panel for spotlighting the work of women leading transformative health research. And congratulations to all the inspiring finalists 👉 buff.ly/x7exjyC — thrilled to be in your company 💪 #WomenInSTEM #MarieKroghPrize

Small ostial disease (Medina 0 0 1) is not common (3.5%) but most dangers together with the most common one (Medina 1 1 1) - don’t underestimate #cardiovascular #cardiotwitter #heartdisease

🫀 Why do men and women experience coronary disease so differently? Our work revealed distinct anatomical and blood flow patterns in the left main coronary bifurcation — even in patients without stenosis. 🔗 buff.ly/ZG17FBv #CardiovascularResearch #CTCA #SexDifferences #Bioengineering

Controversial opinion: it is not possible to propose a truely innovative and cutting edge proposal more than a year in advance to funding commencement and then deliver exactly that 🙄! Research must be dynamic and relevant 🧬🔮

So happy with so little

🫀 @SciReports Our study of 127 CTCA scans reveals that key left main coronary anatomy features, like vessel twists, predict *early* coronary disease. This could enable early risk assessment from standard imaging 🧠💻 🔗 buff.ly/AZt0Ypo #CardiovascularResearch #CFD #CTCA #Atherosclerosis #Bioeng
