Delighted to share the new 2025 AHA/ACC guidelines for the management of patients with acute coronary syndrome. Especially happy about our inclusion of aggressive lipid management with non-statins and our emphasis on the importance of cardiac rehabilitation. Thanks to @SVRaoMD and @DrM_ODonoghue for their leadership. https://t.co/mU4RC51I3y
