Excited to present preliminary findings from the phase 2b FORTIFY trial at #ESC2026. Despite well-controlled CV risk factors, low hsCRP & excellent secondary prevention after a prior type 1 MI (median 2.6 years prior to enrollment), coronary inflammation remains strikingly prevalent: 63% had ≥1 artery with elevated FAI (>50th %tile) and 24% had 2 arteries >50th percentile in the screened population.
