“We’re glad to see the 2.5% in increase that was mandated by the OBBA, but on the flip side, it’s a little bit of ‘death by a thousand paper cuts’ due to the cuts everywhere else,” #ACCPresident @ChrisKramerMD told @TCTMD. Read the full story: bit.ly/4564P1e

A substudy of the SUMMIT trial using cardiac MRI demonstrated that tirzepatide in obesity-related HFpEF led to reduced LV mass and paracardiac adipose tissue as compared with placebo, and the change in LV mass paralleled weight loss. #tirzepatide #HFpEF jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

So honored to be a part of the official signing of this bill, which has been a key priority of @ACCinTouch and our members. #ACCAdvocacy @cardiology

Happening this evening! Join Milton Packer MD, me, and the JACC editors for the inaugural JACC journal club on the SUMMIT trial and CMR substudy.

Check out this fantastic infographic by @SahiAllam summarizing key points from SEQUOIA-HCM below ⤵️ and remember to join us tonight on X at 8PM for a live discussion with experts! Follow along with #CardsJC for the discussion!

#AHA24 ICYMI: #JACC AE Dr. Neha Pagidipati, @NPagidipati, & lead author Dr. @ChrisKramerMD discuss the results of the #CMR substudy of the #SUMMIT trial 📄: bit.ly/3CytSPZ

In #SUMMIT substudy of tirzepatide for obesity-related HFpEF (n=175): 📍Primary outcome: LV mass ⬇️ by 11 g (95% CI: −19 to −4 g) in the treatment group vs placebo (P=0.004). 📍Paracardiac fat: ⬇️ by 45 mL (95% CI: −69 to −22 mL) in the treatment group (P<0.001). 📍LV mass…

5/ Key takeaway: Tirzepatide offers a novel approach to reduce cardiac stress and adiposity in obesity-related HFpEF - and it improves outcomes. Substudy led by @ChrisKramerMD. @JACCJournals Read the full study: jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…
