Just 8 days until we present the results of the placebo-controlled #ORBITA2 trial as late breaking science at #AHA23 in Philadelphia. Join us at 10:35 ET on Saturday 11/11/23. @rallamee @mshunshin @ProfDFrancis @American_Heart

- Our #JACC letter shows troponin release is common following exercise in patients with a severe coronary stenosis. ⬆️exercise intensity, ⬆️troponin increment PCI markedly⬇️ischaemia, but no effect on troponin release compared with placebo. Suggests ischaemia not the mechanism
- To find out more about the #ORBITA2 trial, come to our deep dive session at 0800 in room 103C @American_Heart @rallamee @Drroxmehran
- #ISCHEMIA and #ORBITA are not trials of Revasc vs. OMT (common misconception). Both arms get "OMT", so the trials examine the *additive* benefit of Revasc on a background of medical therapy. Here's why assessing quality of medical therapy is critical: doi.org/10.1161/CIRCOU…
- Thank you @RoySocMed, @SukhNijjer and @doctor_paz . Only possible with amazing supervisors and colleagues @rallamee @mshunshin @ProfDFrancis @MikeFoley89 @fiyyazAJA real pleasure to join some of the brightest minds in UK Cardiology as they competed for the RSM @RoySocMed Cardiology President’s Prize. Great work from all the speakers including @arunsau_ @DoctorMitShah @drgeorgejoy @DrKiranPatel1 @DrAdamHartley. Congrats to @rajkumar_chris
- This is the principal question of the ORBITA-STAR trial, coming in the next year @rallamee @ImperialNHLIPCI is effective at reducing angina when the target coronary lesion is responsible for angina. Sounds obvious, but bears repeating because of the implications: This is a DIAGNOSTIC problem, not a therapeutic one. We don't have a perfect test linking symptoms to disease.
- Teams like this don’t come around very often: an enormous privilege to work alongside @rallamee @MikeFoley89 and @fiyyazAJ to deliver #ORBITA2 Huge thanks to the patients and our amazing centres across the UK. As for the result, watch this space 🍿This is a really exciting day for the ORBITA family! The last of 301 patients randomised in the ORBITA-2 trial. Smiles all round!! Well done to @rajkumar_chris for driving this trial and thanks to all our incredible collaborators all over the UK who really made this happen
- Having spent an unhealthy amount of time together making #ORBITA2 happen, I can confirm that these are the TWO smartest people on the planet @mshunshin @rallameeThere is an unsung hero in the ORBITA family and we don’t do forgotten heroes. @mshunshin is the cleverest man I know and responsible for all the statistics and beautiful figures in ORBITA-2 (with a little help from my RAL chart). Give this man a round of applause!
- Got an MRC Training Fellowship! Huge thanks to all these awesome people @rallamee @ProfDFrancis @DrShaiSen @SukhNijjer @DrJHoward @mshunshin @RicardoPetraco @ya43266242 @CCook_MD @henselig
- Pleased to present our work with #EAPCI examining differences in consenting practice in interventional cardiology across Europe #ESCCongress @rallamee @EAPCIPresident @ImperialNHLI @DonnaFitzQUB
- Our take on the complex question of upcoding. Not a malicious process, but a fascinating experiment of nature. @ProfDFrancis @willsuh76 with commentary from @bnallamo @SVRaoMD ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…
- Incredible 3 days at #CVCT2022. A masterclass in clinical trial design, conduct and interpretation. @Drroxmehran @djc795 @rallamee
- So grateful to @DrKeeble @rallamee @DrPeterOKane @pajhaworth @manasinha @neilruparelia @HelenRoutledge2 @dr_tkot @timkinnaird2 @NickCurzen @RicardoPetraco James Spratt, Rupert Williams and of course @MikeFoley89 for driving this forwards!Special day at Essex CTC today. ORBITA2 randomisation in lab 1 and simultaneously ORBITA CTO randomisation in cath lab 2. We are getting good at placebo controlled pci ! Can’t wait for both trial results. @rallamee @CCook_MD @rajkumar_chris @dr_skhan1 @essexheartfund
