📰 HOT OFF THE PRESSES 📰
Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor (#ICIs) treatments are known to potentially cause harm to the heart, particularly through conditions like #myocarditis.
Today in @JAMAOnc, we stressed the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration as the best way to mitigate effects and protect the #hearts of #cancer patients.

💔🎗️ #Anthracyclines save young lives but can harm the heart
📊 New intl guidelines outline 🔑 dose risks:
➡️ Daunorubicin ≈ 0.6× doxorubicin
⬆️ Mitoxantrone ≈ 10.5× higher
Personalized dosing = stronger hearts after cancer therapy https://t.co/Vm5nABgDt0 #JACCCardioOnc#cvPed
A validated risk model accurately predicted 10-year risk of heart failure or cardiomyopathy in women treated for early-stage breast cancer, integrating clinical and treatment variables available at diagnosis.

👉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.

"I've done it!" On 16 September 1977, Andreas Grüntzig made history: he carried out the first #angioplasty, and changed the lives of millions of patients forever.
Standing on the shoulders of the giants that came before him, his vision and determination drove an entire new field of cardiology: Interventional Cardiology
Listen to this description of his incredible journey by Jean Marco, who knew him and was also a pioneer in the field. Jean Marco carried out his first angioplasty in 1979 and was inspired by Gruntzig's example to launch a LIVE demonstration Course in 1982.
This ultimately paved the way for the first PCR Course in 1989, founded with Jean Fajadet in Toulouse, and gave birth to PCR as we know it today.

🫀NEW GUIDELINE🫀
Read our newest #ASEGuideline, "Recommendations for the Evaluation of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function by Echocardiography and for Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Diagnosis!" https://t.co/bKTTQachMJ
♥️Cardiac Rehabilitation is part of GDMT but we seem less willing to write for this life saving prescription.
♥️Especially for women.
♥️Let’s make patients aware & send those who need it to it
Saving lives, one step at a time
