New study in LMD: ABEI-based CA125 immunoassay evaluated in 108 HFrEF patients.
โ Strong agreement with reference method
โ Higher CA125 โ lower LVEF, higher galectin-3/sST2, worse survival
ABEI-based CA125 may aid risk assessment & treatment monitoring in heart failure

#VitaminD deficiency, more than a metabolic issue. Emerging evidence suggests a link between low vitamin D and uterine fibroids.

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is often called โthe silent conditionโ because you may not feel it, but your heart does. ๐ #Hypertension puts extra strain on the heart, which over time can lead to heart failure.
Hypertension is a leading cause of heart failure; they are connected conditions ๐.
Know your blood pressure numbers and encourage someone you care about to do the same.
May is Heart Failure Awareness Month โค๏ธ, led by the Heart Failure Patient Network at @GlobalHeartHub โ the international alliance of heart patient organisations. ๐ Learn more: https://t.co/FXSTJrckYx Itโs also #MayMeasurementMonth, a global blood pressure screening awareness event.

๐ฌ Viewpoint by Canio Martinelli, MD, MSc, Vincenzo Carnevale, PhD, MSc, Alfredo Ercoli, MD, PhD, and Antonio Giordano, MD, PhD: #AI yields higher empathy scores in text assessments but cannot perform clinical examination or patient care. Clinician oversight and presence remain essential in #Medicine.

Personalised care and empowered citizens are key to improving #HeartFailure outcomes.
This #EuropeanPatientsRightsDay, we call for policy to ensure access to high-quality HF care for all. https://t.co/J1NfzRWIoy

AI alone is not enough.
The future lies in #BeneficialIntelligence = Human + Artificial Intelligence
- Technology must be guided by purpose, ethics & empathy

Randomized, placebo-controlled trials of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists have provided strong evidence to support their use โ in fact, they have presaged a mini-revolution in how type 2 diabetes is managed. ๐ https://t.co/D0XSLv7U8n
Tirzepatide was the first dual GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide receptor agonist approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes on the basis of the SURPASS-1 (Tirzepatide [LY3298176] in Participants with Type 2 Diabetes Not Controlled with Diet and Exercise Alone) trial, a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of tirzepatide (administered in weekly doses of 5 mg, 10 mg, or 15 mg) paired with metformin for treatment of type 2 diabetes (seen in figure). Tirzepatide reduced glycated hemoglobin levels by as much as 2 percentage points and was superior to placebo at all dose levels. At 40 weeks, nearly 90% of participants had glycated hemoglobin levels of less than 7.0%, a change that was associated with profound weight loss.

Last chance to register โ๏ธ Join our upcoming Empower webinar: Dealing with Dismissal ๐
Too many people still experience being dismissed or unheard in healthcare โ particularly women and underserved communities.
In this session, Global Heart Hub, together with our Affiliate @heartsistasinc, will explore practical ways to recognise, navigate and respond to #dismissal across the patient journey.
๐ฌ What to expect:
โข How to prepare for medical appointments to reduce the likelihood of dismissal.
โข Strategies to address dismissal.
โข Practical measures to recover from the feeling of being dismissed.
Join us for a powerful and practical conversation focused on strengthening patient confidence, voice and advocacy.
