@JACCJournals This conclusion is misleading , 5 years is not enough to demonstrate statin efficacy in reducing CV events in patients with low or zero Ca score.

This #JACC viewpoint agrees that dysfunctional adipose tissue is crucial to #HFpEF disease pathogenesis, and yet sex-based differences highlight that the #adipokine framework is only one piece of the puzzle: there is more to HFpEF than just fat alone. https://t.co/O6eWVlM0VW

#STROKE: In an observational cohort study based on the MR CLEAN registry, bridging therapy with intravenous thrombolysis was associated with superior functional outcomes compared to EVT alone for patients with proximal M2 occlusions. #AHAJournals https://t.co/ulssXBhkmf
Will A.I. lead to de-skilling of physicians?
And if so what can be done to preempt it?

👉Oral PCSK9 Inhibitors: A New Frontier in Lipid Management
👆A meta-analysis including >1,000 patients shows that oral PCSK9 inhibitors reduce key atherogenic lipoproteins by a clinically meaningful magnitude:
🔹 LDL-C ↓ 47.8%
🔹 ApoB ↓ 38.7%
🔹 Lp(a) ↓ 19.8%
🔹 Triglycerides ↓ 11.6%
Importantly, these agents demonstrated no increase in serious adverse events versus placebo.
💊 Oral PCSK9 inhibitors could transform lipid management — combining potent LDL-lowering efficacy with the convenience of oral dosing, potentially improving accessibility and adherence for patients with ASCVD or familial hypercholesterolemia.
