I'm incredibly proud to announce the release of the 2026 AHA/ACC Acute PE Guidelines. This document represents two years of hard work from a highly talented, diverse set of clinician experts. https://t.co/b72nKYXbYT and https://t.co/dGiFMNM1NL @ACCinTouch@AHAMeetings
One of the most important pieces from this guideline is the new Clinical Classes for Acute PE. This new scheme encourages clinicians and researchers to more granuarly define risk profiles for patients with acute PE when determining the best acute intervention plans.

15 minute AHA Recap for thromboembolic disease! ➡️ https://t.co/1qP06ZA9LE
@GBarnesMD reviews ONCO PE Trial, finding if you can tolerate an anticoagulant, then extended courses tend to not increase bleeding over the long term, but have huge benefits in preventing recurrent PE.

Does this change our standard for how long to treat cancer-associated VTE? It was a select group, but efficacy benefit without more bleeding is compelling
#CircAHA24 PE Trial: Longer anticoagulation therapy (rivaroxaban for 18 months) had a benefit in patients with cancer and acute low-risk pulmonary embolism compared to shorter 6-month treatment. @saipon_yuji@GunmaUnivNKoita https://t.co/HnmKWPvyUu

We *tried* to do a meta-analysis on menstrual bleeding in FXI inhibitor studies - not only is it not a tracked outcome, but hardly any patients were even capable of menstruation. Read our call to action for improving capture of HMB in anticoagulant trials. https://t.co/c26Y0umzOi
#SUMMIT trial 🫀
Treatment with tirzepatide led to a lower risk of a composite of death from cardiovascular causes or worsening heart failure than placebo and improved health status in patients with HFpEF & obesity.
