UTI is uncommon with SGLT2i - mycotic infections are common This study has important clinical implications ⚠️ After UTI, 1 in 3 patients stopped SGLT2i Discontinuation led to higher CV & renal risk, with no reduction in recurrent UTIs. 💡 Following UTI - continue SGLT2i

VESALIUS a star of this lipid session at #AHA25. Substantial and deeply clinically meaningful benefit w Repatha in primary prevention. Baseline LDL-C 122. Notable ARRs, and 20% decrease in all-cause mortality! #AHA25

Case in point. For the longest time, LDL target in this patient population (high risk, no prior heart attack or stroke) was < 100. This was actually done pretty well for majority of the population with statins. New class of lipid lowering agents (pcsk9 inhibitors) comes out
