Long overdue statement from the White House on #longCOVID. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

A single combined measure of hsCRP, LDL-C, and Lp(a) among initially healthy women was predictive of incident cardiovascular events over a 30-year period. All 3 biomarkers are modifiable thru either lifestyle or pharmacologic interventions #ESCCongress #cardiology #prevention

Has the time come for universal screening of 3 simple modifiable risk markers: hsCRP, LDL, and Lp(a)? A study in 27,939 initially healthy women show these 3 modifiable markers are predictive of long-term CV outcomes over 30 years. Watch Dr. Ridker discuss findings here

This paper on thromboinflammation is everywhere this week. Unfortunately nobody commenting on it seems to have read it! I have, and it definitely doesn't say what commentators are suggesting. 🧵nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our mechanistic review of #LongCovid - published in Cell - hopefully will be helpful coming out of the very inspiring RECOVER-Treating Long COVID meeting this week. Excited for the progress we will make together in the next year! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

It is with immense sadness that we announce a dedicated ASE and #ASEFoundation champion, James Kirkpatrick, passed away yesterday. He was a highly respected colleague & mentor. His devotion to his patients & the #EchoFirst field will be greatly missed. bit.ly/49Z9rsd

James N. Kirkpatrick, MD, FACC, a leader in echocardiography, a gifted mentor and teacher, and a pioneer in the field of medical ethics, passed away unexpectedly on Jan. 1. Read more about his life and contributions to cardiology with reflections from ACC leaders:

NIH just made a drastic change to indirect cost rates, reducing the rate to 15%, a significant cut from the 60%+ some institutions charge. This will have a devastating effect on the nation’s medical research infrastructure. ResearchAmerica AAMC Yale School of Medicine grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/n…

Yes, the US government has been subsidizing science. That is not a weakness of our system. It is one of our greatest strengths. Turning our back on NIH and the institutions who do science for the sake of science, not profit, debases us all.

"no one has died" because of feeding USAID to the woodchipper, Elon claimed. In this devastating piece the NYT went out and learned some of their names and stories:

To counter pill-burden, a major barrier to HF GDMT adherence, polypills are being investigated. In this #ACCSimPub the authors developed polypill prototypes & manufacturing pathways w/pharmacy partners. Clinical trials are underway to study this strategy.🔗bit.ly/4hQDbty

For people with #HIV, new AHA Science PREVENT equations predict lower 10 year heart risk than the PCE so fewer will be prescribed statins if widely adopted w/o changing guidelines: validation is needed in this high-risk group! Matt Durstenfeld, MD MAS Read in #JGIM: buff.ly/h5q3pHd
