Outgoing SVM President Address from @CCFcards and vascular medicine alumnus Dr. Esther Kim, giving a shout out to former Section Head and SVM President, THE legend Dr. Jerry Bartholomew. #vascular#SVM2026@SVM_tweets
September is PAD awareness month. This week, we will be highlighting recent publications focusing on PAD. From the recent issue, Choi & colleagues demonstrates that cilostazol use in PAD is associated with impacts on calf muscle pathophysiology.

Great #VeloSano from @CleClinicHVTI this year. Ignored the rain, managed not to take a wrong turn for first time in two years (thanks @edelyn_park ! ) Slay cancer π‘οΈ, thanks to all the volunteers. @bikeVeloSano
Original Article: Aspirin Omission at the Time of Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in STEMI (PREMIUM trial) nej.md/4gqcspb#ESCCongress | @escardio
ALT Panel A shows the incidence of a composite of death from any cause, stroke, or myocardial infarction (the primary outcome). Panel B shows the incidence of major bleeding (the major secondary outcome), which was defined as a bleeding event of Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 3 (nonfatal major bleeding) or 5 (fatal bleeding).
ALT This image shows two forest plots titled "Primary Outcome" and "Major Secondary Outcome," comparing monotherapy and DAPT across various subgroups. Each plot features a list of subgroups with corresponding hazard ratios and confidence intervals. The plots compare effectiveness between monotherapy and DAPT.
Do statins benefit healthy people age >70?
Their mean LDL cholesterol = 126 mg/dl
A randomized trial of ~10,000 participants says yes.

Quick 1/2 #VeloSano in my @CleClinicHVTI racing attire from last year to my daughterβs college to bring her glasses. In the words of Captain Jack Sparrow βweβre catching up.β No ST changes π«π«. #BikeToCure
Presented at #ESCCongress:
Adding milvexian to standard antiplatelet therapy after an acute coronary syndrome event did not lower the risk of a composite of cardiovascular death, MI, or ischemic stroke but did not increase intracranial or fatal bleeding. Full LIBREXIA ACS trial results: nej.md/46armLi@escardio
ALT The figure is a graph showing the cumulative incidence of the primary outcome (a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or ischemic stroke) in the milvexian group and the placebo group.
Presented at #ESCCongress:
Among patients with STEMI, prasugrel monotherapy initiated before PCI was not noninferior to dual antiplatelet therapy with prasugrel plus aspirin for a composite of death, stroke, or myocardial infarction at 12 months. Full PREMIUM trial results: nej.md/4gqcspb@escardio
ALT A figure from the Original Article "Aspirin Omission at the Time of Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in STEMI." The trial name, PREMIUM, is in parentheses after the title. The figure shows the incidence of a composite of death from any cause, stroke, or myocardial infarction (the primary outcome). The trial results are being presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress 2026. The logo of the New England Journal of Medicine is at the bottom.
1/2 Thanks to all the #VeloSano donors ! Some of my @CleClinicHVTI brethren are a bit under their goal, consider throwing a few coins their way if you can: give.velosano.org/team/81091β¦

Breaking and MASSIVE;
Targeting IL6 fails to improve CV outcomes in Zeus trial. While ziltivekimab demonstrated target engagement and inhibition of the IL-6 pathway, as reflected by expected reductions in free IL-6 and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) respectively, this did not translate into major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) risk reduction versus placebo in people with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD) and inflammation (hazard ratio, 0.99; 95% confidence interval, 0.88 to 1.11).
