Today, I had the honor to present PhysioSync-HF as a Late-Breaking Clinical Trial at #ESCCongress. Key message: In HFrEF and LBBB, conduction system pacing was *inferior* to biventricular pacing for a composite of death, HF events, and LVEF change at 12 months.

One of my favorite projects at TIMI. While exploratory, our findings support the concept that lowering LDL-C through PCSK9i may prevent the formation and progression of arterial aneurysms, including AAA. Now in @CircAHA @PrakritiGaba @marstonMD @BrianBergmark @TIMIStudyGroup

We are deeply saddened to have lost our founding chairman and the father of modern academic cardiology, Dr. Eugene Braunwald, who founded the TIMI Study Group in 1984, and with that vision profoundly shaped the practice of cardiovascular medicine across the world.

@drjohnm We tried our best to encompass risk stratification and LDL-C targets into a one-stop figure in the 2025 Brazilian guidelines. While categories could be improved, IMO this is a more helpful format for quick decision-making, as is the flowchart.

Lipid guidelines contains 14 management flow charts How is a gen cardiologist or primary care doc supposed to be guided by such a document? Should be 3-4: prim prevention, sec prevention, diabetes and maybe special circumstances (FH or TG > 300) It's not that complicated

Proud to see PhysioSync-HF published in @JAMACardio. In patients with HFrEF and LBBB, conduction system pacing was inferior to biventricular pacing for a composite of death, HF events, and LVEF change at 12 months. Let us know your thoughts: jamanetwork.com/journals/jamac…

Small-interfering RNA olpasiran reduced lipoprotein(a)–apolipoprotein B particles by >95% with minimal rise in non–Lp(a)-apoB, lowering total apoB concentration in patients with cardiovascular disease. ja.ma/49iZoiR

These findings suggest that, with olpasiran, apoB particles normally destined to form Lp(a) are either not secreted into circulation or more efficiently cleared, providing context for interpreting results of ongoing trials of Lp(a)-lowering agents. Link: jamanetwork.com/journals/jamac…

How do Lp(a)-lowering agents affect atherogenic lipoproteins more broadly? In our @JAMACardio study, we show that olpasiran, an siRNA targeting apo(a), reduced Lp(a) in >95% without increasing non-Lp(a) particles. apoB was ultimately reduced by ~18%. @TIMIStudyGroup

It was the FTT that, in 1994, grouped thrombolysis studies in myocardial infarction and concluded: Only patients with ST-elevation benefit from thrombolysis. This shaped the next three decades of research progress. Even the evolution of this treatment, angioplasty, was born within this paradigm. But… If a simple methodological choice had been different, the FTT’s result could have been: patients without ST-elevation also benefit from thrombolysis in myocardial infarction. That’s what we demonstrated in this meta-analysis. openheart.bmj.com/content/12/2/e…

I had a great discussion with @DrJMarine on the PhysioSync-HF trial, our (unexpected) findings, and what they mean for the field. Check out our @ACCinTouch podcast episode on Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/1flNth…

The PhysioSync-HF trial investigates conduction system pacing as a potentially more effective & affordable alternative to traditional cardiac resynchronization therapy. Tune into #ACCEL Lite episode for more insights ➡️ bit.ly/4qxh6pp @DrJMarine @AndreZimerman #CardioX

@KostekMilan @VKutyifa We’ll have additional analyses in the primary publication and papers to follow. Agree these will be critical to better interpret our findings in the context of prior trials.

Greatly enjoyed speaking with @AndreZimerman about his trial results reported at ESC.25. Surprisingly, CSP inferior to conventional CRT in this HFrEF population.
