When I was a medical student, I vividly recall taking care of very very sick patients with acute pancreatitis in the ICU. Remarkable to see how APOC3 inhibition (here, olezarsen) is now shown to be a highly effective therapy for severe hypertriglyceridemia, esp among those with prior pancreatitis to reduce risk for acute pancreatitis (NNT 20 for all and 4 for those with prior) & yield remission (up to ~50%) for hypertriglyceridemia. Congrats @marstonMD @TIMIStudyGroup! nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… #AHA25 @NEJM
