A simple chest X-ray marker with big implications 🫀
In HFpEF, CTR isn’t about LV size—
👉 it reflects LA & right heart dilation
👉 links to hemodynamic compromise
👉 predicts poor outcomes

Here are the Late Breakers from #AHA25. My initial favorites are – coming at you with some New Orleans groove:
OPTIMA-AF – Short dual antithrombotic therapy after PCI in patients with atrial fibrillation
CLOSURE-AF – Left atrial appendage closure versus medical therapy in AF…
ASET-Japan ACS investigated prasugrel monotherapy after PCI in 101 NSTE-ACS patients. At 1 year, ischemic endpoint was 1 (1.0%) and BARC type 3 bleeding 2 (2.0%). Prasugrel monotherapy was feasible and safe.

Thank you for the thoughtful editorial.🙇♂️
I fully agree—research into LA contractile function should not stop at LACI.
🔎📊Deeper exploration of atrial pathophysiology and detection of early dysfunction in HF is essential.

📊New data from the PURSUIT-HFpEF registry.
🫀The atrial Frank-Starling mechanism matters.
📈LACI↑=volumetric/mechanical uncoupling=worse outcomes.
The left atrium isn’t just a bystander—it’s a prognostic player in HFpEF.
