Is the benefit of #PCSK9 #inhibitors driven by the #drug itself—or by baseline #LDL-C and patient risk? Prof. @SABOURETCardio and team explore key insights from ODYSSEY OUTCOMES vs FOURIER and clinical implications. imrpress.com/journal/RCM/27… #Cardiovascular #Atherosclerosis

💡 Video Interpretation by Amgad N. Makaryus — Beyond Glucose Control: GLP-1 Agonists & Blood Pressure Are we overlooking the cardiovascular potential of GLP-1 receptor agonists beyond glycemic control? 👉 Watch the video: imrpress.com/journal/RCM/vi… 🎥 In this video, Amgad N. Makaryus explores how GLP-1 RAs influence blood pressure via vascular, renal, and metabolic pathways—backed by major clinical trials. From modest BP reductions to broader cardiometabolic benefits, their role as an adjunctive strategy is gaining increasing attention. ✒️ Authors: Dhir Gala, Fady Botros, Amgad N.
