An incredible number of trials published simultaneously in the NEJM: I honestly can’t quite wrap my head around what is happening. Congratulations to everyone involved. It was difficult to choose only five trials, but these are the ones I selected for the interventional cardiology highlights. #ESCCongress

We've not understood why SGLT2 drugs (like empagliflozin, Jardiance) have marked protective heart benefit. Today @ScienceMagazine a mechanism unraveled for improving cardiac metabolism and fuel efficiency science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

No free lunch. In our meta-analysis, now published in JAMA Cardiology, transcatheter left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) was associated with similar long-term risks of any stroke and major bleeding compared with oral anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation, while increasing the risk of ischemic stroke and reducing the risk of nonprocedure-related major bleeding.

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). novonordisk.com/content/nnco…
