More incredible #CRISPR data with #Nexz published today in NEJM -- this time 2 year data from the Phase 1 #ATTR polyneuropathy study. #TTR levels down 90% by day 28... and 92% at month 24! Improved neuropathy functionally and by #Nfl levels. Exciting prospects for #MAGNITUDE.

Uncertainty is ubiquitous in the practice of medicine. A new review characterizes clinical uncertainty and shows how teachers can guide learners to recognize, manage, and communicate uncertainty in practice. Figure 1 from the review shows a conceptual model of how clinicians

This is an important case for diastolic function assessment that was corrected in 2025 guideline. A main lesson is " Diastolic Function can be normal with reduced EF and/ or myocardial infarction." We should not adjudicate diastolic dysfunction based on clinical data. Always use

(1/14) ๐ŸšจI had the privilege of providing commentary on the Phase 2 #coramitug trial at #AHA25. The headline was that patients who received high-dose (60 mg/kg) coramitug had significant reductions in NT-proBNP at 1 year compared with placebo. So itโ€™s an unequivocal win, right?
