Primary results from Bridge-TIMI 73a Late Breaking Clinical Trial presented by Brian Bergmark at #ACC24 show that #olezarsen reduces #triglyceride levels by ~50% without major safety concerns. Now published in NEJM. Nicholas Marston

Presented today at #ACC24: In the DanGer Shock trial involving patients with STEMI and cardiogenic shock, mortality at 6 months was lower with mechanical circulatory support with a microaxial flow pump than with standard care alone. Full trial results: nej.md/3xyXU3t

Celebrating the 95th birthday of Prof. Eugene Braunwald. Look at the areas where he contributed the most👇❤️ #Leaders #Cardiology

Part of the history of modern cardiology is in this photo. Dr. Braunwald, the father of cardiology as we know it, at his 95 years, fully active; Dr. Peter Libby, the pope of atherosclerosis; Dr. Marc Pfeffer, the king of heart failure. Masters who inspired me and inspire me.

This is such an important observation. On many levels. I will discuss on This Week in Cardiology. Teaser thoughts: A) Recall that as treatment of a problem gets better, screening becomes less important. B) All humans die; so if they don't die of cancer and AMI, that leaves
