Grateful to be part of the writing group - 🔥 AHA Scientific Statement Role of Physical Activity in Obesity & Cardiometabolic Health.
Highlights digital tech apps + watches + wearables to support or facilitate lifestyle change
@hopkinsheart@HopkinsMedicine@CiccaroneCenter
As physical activity is a key component of comprehensive obesity treatment, this scientific statement summarizes physical activity’s role in promoting weight loss, weight loss maintenance, and cardiometabolic health, complementing lifestyle, pharmacological (including GLP-1-based [MH1.1]medications), and surgical-based weight loss intervention strategies.
@DrGermanMD
Truly masterful job by @CiccaroneCenter @hopkinsheart & @HopkinsMedicine super⭐️ translational researcher, educator, & clinician Dr. Seth Martin today at Grand Rounds!! #🥍🐦🫀🏏⛳️🎾
Congratulations to our very own @rblument1 on a well deserved award! 🫀
We are proud to have the father of modern preventive cardiology as our director.
📉Lower LDL-C for longer is better.
The NLA’s new guidance simplifies LDL-C management for adults — helping clinicians & patients improve evidence-based measurement and treatment of LDL-C.

Key Takeaways from the 2025 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics Report: @AHAScience Led by @SethShayMartin and colleagues.
1️⃣ CV Health Matters: Managing diet, exercise, BP, cholesterol, & glucose (AHA’s Life’s Essential 8) reduces heart disease & stroke risk.
2️⃣ Lifestyle Gaps: Smoking rates down 🚭, but only 25% meet exercise goals & diet quality remains low (59/100).
3️⃣ Obesity Crisis: 42% of U.S. adults & 21% of youth are obese. Globally, 43% are overweight.
4️⃣ Lipid Breakthroughs: Lp(a) impacts 1 in 5, raising CV risk. New therapies (e.g., mRNA drugs) could lower Lp(a) by 80–100%.
5️⃣ Hypertension Woes: 77% of U.S. adults >65 have high BP. Masked hypertension impacts 10% of young adults.
6️⃣ Economic Burden: Heart disease costs a staggering $417.9B annually 💸.
7️⃣ Global Impact: CVD = leading cause of death 🌍. Disparities persist, with higher stroke rates in southern U.S.
8️⃣ Innovations Ahead: Predictive tools (CAC scoring) + emerging drugs = brighter future for prevention 🚀.
9️⃣ Pregnancy Risks: Gestational diabetes & hypertension rising, especially in older moms & certain racial groups.
🔟 Sleep & Kidney Health: Poor sleep & kidney function = major CV risk factors.
