Fascinating data from FOURIER presented by Yumi Kang, MD, PhD, MPH at #ESCCongress2024! Efficacy of PCSK9 mAb in patients with obesity - excess MACE risk conferred by obesity is attenuated by evolocumab. ARR 5.7% in those w BMI >35 at baseline! #ESCCongress

"Lipoprotein(a) and cardiovascular disease" review published today in The Lancet: 50 days' free access: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jlsNV-4XOtaS Please share and resend for others to download. Bottom line: measure Lp(a) in all once in a lifetime and stay tuned for coming Lp(a)-lowering therapy!

In patients with atrial fibrillation and moderate-to-high risk of stroke, abelacimab, a monoclonal antibody that inhibits activation of factor XI, led to fewer bleeding events than rivaroxaban. Read the full AZALEA–TIMI 71 trial results: nej.md/3PJcknN #AFib

I’m deeply grateful to have been part of this important work, led by my talented colleague Matt Lee, that now demonstrates a more consistent signal towards a greater CV benefit among Asian ppl w/T2D —with much narrower 95% CI! diabetesjournals.org/care/article/4…

There doesn’t appear to be a floor with LDL—💥 lower is better, even in the elderly. Check out our work in JACC Journals sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Great deep dive into cardiometabolic health in Asian populations and the heterogeneity in CV effects of GLP-1 RAs by race. Delivered by three Asian experts I admire. Tune in at 15:30! 🎧 Matthew MY Lee Dr. Alice Cheng #NaveedSattar

Beyond the❤️: GLP-1 RAs also reduce non-CV mortality. Meta-analysis of 11 CVOTs (n=90,867) shows ↓ in all-cause, CV, and non-CV deaths in people with T2DM/obesity. Yumi Kang, MD, PhD, MPH dom-pubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…
