- 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 🤯

New data show that violence against women remains a global public health crisis.

The new Violence Against Women estimates provides the most comprehensive picture yet of intimate partner and non-partner sexual violence https://bit.ly/3K4vCV9

🩸 “Turbulent flow” is one of the most misused terms in medicine.
Here’s why most blood flow — even in disease — is not truly turbulent.

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 🧬🔮

🫀 @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 🧠💻
