Congrats to Dr. Mark Steuerwald our preventive cardiology fellow, on passing the lipid boards (@nationallipid).
Becoming a Diplomate of the American Board of Clinical Lipidology is the highest benchmark of professional competency in Clinical Lipidology.
Well deserved! 👏

🗞️Now on @JCI_insight! Monocyte #platelet aggregates (MPA) emerges as a biomarker of thromboinflammation. TIPS, a platelet RNA signature, captures thromboinflammation and holds promise for cardiovascular risk stratification and therapeutic targeting.

Why are #PCSK9 inhibitors still underutilized?
Join leading lipid expert Dr. James Underberg to explore how PCSK9 inhibitors can help patients with ASCVD, HeFH, & HoFH #knowFH achieve LDL-C goals that have remained out of reach with standard therapies.

Carine Hamo reports on premature discontinuation or downtitration of #heartfailure GDMT after changes in kidney function at #AHA25.
Fear of mild eGFR declines (<30%) may limit life-saving HF therapies despite their known benefits.
🗝️Tackling prescriber hesitation is key!

New findings suggest 7,000 steps may be enough to reduce your risk of heart disease & stroke. Focus on moving more & sitting less, & activities you love, like gardening or dancing says our Director of Cardiovascular Fitness & Nutrition, Dr. Sean Heffron.
