COPD with Type 2 Inflammation: A Spark For Deeper COPD Understanding w/ Joseph E. Khabbaza, MD
Developed by the California Thoracic Society in collaboration with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Why we MUST prevent #exacerbation in #COPD in general & mainly in COPD patients with type 2 inflammation?
1️⃣ Single moderate exacerbation/ year prior 2 diagnosis ⬆️ subsequent COPDAE risk
2️⃣ & Frequent or severe COPDAE prior 2 diagnosis associated with a higher risk!

🔥🔥"Identifying #Super-#Responders: a Review of the Road to #Asthma#Remission"
🌬️ Asthma Remission: Thanks to advanced treatments, asthma remission is now possible. Patients with profound responses are called "super-responders."
🧬 Type 2 Inflammation: Identifying Type 2 inflammation (#T2) is the key to a super-response. 🔍 Biomarkers like #eosinophils and #FeNO predict the success of biological therapies.
⚖️ Comorbidities and Limitations: #Obesity, #mooddisorders, and #smoking reduce the likelihood of success. A multidisciplinary approach is essential. 🚶♂️🍎🧠
⏳ Asthma #Duration:📉 Long-standing, uncontrolled asthma worsens lung function and limits remission potential. The longer it persists, the harder it is to reverse the damage.
💉 #Biologic Treatments: Therapies like anti-IL-5 and anti-TSLP are transforming severe asthma management. 💪 They reduce mucus plugs and improve lung function.
🛑 Remission and Super-Response Criteria: There's no consensus on remission. 🚑 Key factors include no exacerbations and significant improvement in lung function.
🚀 #Predict and #Prevent #Approach: The future of asthma treatment is proactive, using biomarkers for early intervention. 🔍 This approach prevents lung damage before severe symptoms develop.
📊 Need for New Clinical Trials: Future trials should focus on patients with moderate asthma, preventing irreversible damage. Early biological treatment can change the disease course! 🧑⚕️💡

COPD with Type 2 Inflammation: A Spark For Deeper COPD Understanding w/ Joseph E. Khabbaza, MD
Developed by the California Thoracic Society in collaboration with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc.
The @US_FDA has approved our medicine as an add-on maintenance treatment of adult patients with inadequately controlled chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and an eosinophilic phenotype. This marks the first-ever biologic approved for COPD.

BREAKING: #HRS2024 Day 1 is in the books! From the PFA Live Case Summit, Africa Summit, Business of EP Sessions, and more, it was the beginning of an electrifying meeting. Stay tuned to #HRStv for all of your Boston coverage #EPeeps. See the full interview here ➡️ https://t.co/b54NPCeqK3
@SteliosTzeis Congratulations Dr. Tzeis! Excellent consensus statement. PS. My husband is from Filothei. I am from Kyparissia 🇬🇷grew up as Greek Americans in Chicago and Arizona.
The 2024 EHRA/HRS/APHRS/LAHRS Expert Consensus on Catheter and Surgical AF Ablation has just been presented and released!
https://t.co/aXM4G1VGid…
Kudos to all 44 members that made it happen @Ed_Gerst@JonKalmanEP@EduardoSaad3
@atulverma_md on optimal patient management:
-Same-day discharge for uncomplicated ablations
-Anticoagulation after AF ablation should depend on CHA2DS2-VASC score
#EHRA2024
Post #AFib#ablation blanking period has been reduced from 12 weeks down to *8 weeks* due to high prediction of late recurrence - 60X!
From the new #EHRA2024 Guidelines on Catheter ablation:

Caution from @DrJasonAndrade:
Are your #AFib patients truly “asymptomatic”? Many are *symptomatic* when assessed appropriately (ie after DCCV)
Importantly, sympt presence/absence *do not* modulate #stroke, #HF or CV outcomes- everyone deserves #OAC & ABC Rx
