🧵 1/9: The Great Debate of Cardiovascular burden in CKD at #ERA26! 🥊
Cardiovascular burden in CKD: Genetic or Epigenetic - Who is the real culprit? We heard stellar arguments from @UofGRegiusAnna (Genetics) and Christian Delles (Epigenetics). Let’s break down the evidence! 👇
Studies suggest role of GLP-1s in cancer prevention, including the anti-inflammatory properties of these drugs. The studies presented at American Society of Clinical Oncology #ASCO meeting throws some interesting insights. reuters.com/business/healthc…
One of the best 🌟 & most inspiring 🙏ESH - European Society of Hypertension opening ceremony for #ESH2026 👏👏
Thank you Prof Krzysztof Narkiewicz & Prof Januszweicz
Gratitude 🙏 President Len Walesa for your strength & Prof @UofGRegiusAnna
for your inspiring lecture & sharing your story♥️
The ramp up of cancer immunotherapy is remarkable. Now we're seeing vaccines achieve some cures or remissions in the most refractory cancers: pancreatic, melanoma, glioblastoma, renal, triple-negative breast cancer.

For readers interested in the evolution of obesity therapy from GLP-1 receptor agonists to multi-receptor agonists, oral formulations, weight-loss quality approaches and tissue-specific drug targeting, here's a comprehensive new review nature.com/articles/s41573-0…
The future of Type1 #Diabetes care may be about more than managing blood sugar. Emerging therapies are aiming to preserve beta cells, target autoimmune pathways, and intervene earlier, which can potentially change how the disease is treated, delayed, or even prevented. news-medical.net/news/202605…
🩺 Obesity-related hypertension — it’s not just about weight.
In 77 patients with obesity-related HTN, dynamic hormonal phenotyping (saline suppression, ACTH stimulation, dexamethasone testing) revealed:
🔴 51.9% — Primary aldosteronism phenotype
🔵 23.4% — Renin-dependent aldosteronism
🟡 24.7% — Low-renin phenotype
⚪ 9.2% — ACTH-independent hypercortisolism
The striking finding? Over 80% had overlapping pathologic phenotypes of aldosteronism and/or hypercortisolism.
➡️ Obesity-related hypertension is far more hormonally complex than we think — and static phenotyping alone misses a large part of the picture.
Could targeted hormonal workup change how we treat these patients? 🧵

🧵1/ Our new study on AI and physician reasoning just came out in @ScienceMagazine. As co-senior author, I'm excited about our findings, and I do think AI will reshape medicine. But after seeing some of the discussions, I'm also worried about how our findings may be misinterpreted.
In people with HFpEF (heart failure with preserved ejection fraction) and severe obesity, there is a heart muscle cell defect with sarcomere hyper-phosphorylation. Besides weight loss, sarcomere enhancers (not yet studied) may help.

The cardiology community mourns the loss of Dr. Eugene Braunwald, a towering figure whose work shaped modern cardiovascular medicine.
From foundational discoveries in heart failure to Braunwald’s Heart Disease, his legacy will guide generations to come.
A true giant in our field.
Panellists pointed to the value of bringing together industry, government, academia and the health system to unlock the UK’s full potential.
