Dr. Nick West, Abbott's Vascular Chief Medical Officer (CMO) leads conversations on trending topics, new clinical data and disease awareness with physicians from around the globe.
OCT-ober is Abbott’s annual educational initiative on Twitter @AbbottCardio to teach about OCT and highlight the role and impact of image-guided PCI. Launched in 2018, the campaign has established #OCTimaging hashtag for OCT-related conversations. Since then, it has been used in more than 2K tweets and reached over 4MM impressions,* amplifying the awareness of imaging across the globe.
The content is published in a form of short tweetorials (a thread of tweets) and covers a range of topics such as the basics of OCT, why optimize PCI with OCT, how to diagnose coronary calcium with OCT, how to identify in-stent restenosis (ISR) with OCT and more.
