😀The NIH MRSP program brings such wonderful talent to campus! Kudos to Christin for her dedication to understand what factors modify this incredibly dangerous type of coronary plaque present in patients BEFORE they ever have clinical heart disease. 🔥 @ToddVillinesMD @ElucidBio
Lipid-rich necrotic core (LRNC) is a rupture-prone plaque feature linked with MI. We leveraged machine learning to identify top predictors of LRNC modulation over 1 year in psoriasis. Thank you @NehalMehtaMD @TheBethesdaLabs and amazing co-authors!

FAT MATTERS. And here, CCTA-derived epicardial adipose tissue measurement make a difference on clinical outcomes.👇🏽 EAT is similar to visceral adipose tissue (VAT) which we have shown to drive coronary artery disease NCB in chronic inflammation🔥
Can a fully automated measurement of EAT volume incorporated into routine interpretation of CCTA improve the risk stratification of patients across several important clinical outcomes? Read more to find out @Charis_Oxford @imagingmedsci @NehalMehtaMD

🔥 Incredible @monikagoyal123, what a way to kick off #NationalWomenPhysiciansDay! Inspiring to see #equityscience and #advocacy at the forefront of your work! Congratulations from your biggest fan:)
6 years ago, @jenreedmd and I submitted our first R01 and got funded. This week, we received the NOA for my 4th R01 level grant, again with @jenreedmd and now with @ndmd254 as CoPIs. #WomenInMedicine @WomeninPEM @ChildrensNatl @CHOP_Research @cincyPEMfellows

BMI has always been a metric to assess for cardiometabolic risk. Waist:hip ratio performs well and better in chronic inflammation. We have shown the value of CT-measures of visceral vs subcutaneous adipose tissue prior, but now, check out how specific depots of fat matter 👇🏽

@foundmyfitness It’s also dangerous for incident development of cardiometabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Visceral adipose tissue is dangerous fat, coordinates a lot of atherogenic processes and expands in part through inflammation:
