Amazing results for DAPA in post TAVI pts @nejm.org

Some caveats pts w diabetes and reduced LVEF who were eligible anyway randomised, but great study!

Now time to look at moderate AS- don’t worry, we are doing it!!!

Females, elderly, smokers, obese, comorbidities & hospitalisation had higher risk

One thing protected from long covid: vaccination

Is there a role of polygenic risk scores in predicting cardiac disease? Some say ‘yes’ some say ‘no’!

Read our recent consensus statement from the ESC @escardio in #EHJ and then can make up your mind!

Lp(a) is important and clinicians are finally (yet slowly) appreciating this

New study showing an oral tablet can effectively reduce Lp(a)

Amazing news from JAMA (is JAMA on Blue sky yet? Cannt find them!)

I was giving a talk to the medical students today - talked about when TAVI was first performed (2002) and the excitement about it! …

the students had not been even born in 2002…

they have only lived in a TAVI-positive world!!!

I ll go to my corner and stay there

Routine spironolactone after an MI?

NO, strong NO from this New England paper

But in an era where primary PCI is routine 24/7 and vast majority of patients leave with normal LV EF- is it unexpected it is negative?
