🚨 New insights from EHJ 2025! 🚨 In statin-treated patients undergoing PCI, inflammation (hsCRP ≥2 mg/L)—not elevated LDL-C—was the strongest predictor of MACE at 1 year 🔥🧪 📊 Bay et al. show that residual inflammatory risk carries a 1.8x higher hazard for adverse events, while LDL-C alone showed no independent risk 💥 🧠 Time to shift focus beyond lipids: consider anti-inflammatory therapies, remnant cholesterol, and Lp(a) in risk stratification 🩺🎯 📖 Read the study ➡️

🚨 New Study Alert 🧬🫀 Think a CAC score of zero means you’re in the clear? Think again. A massive cohort from the Western Denmark Heart Registry (n = 23,777) shows that elevated LDL-C is strongly associated with non-calcified plaque 🧱 and future coronary events 💥—even in those with CAC = 0. 📈 Each 1 mmol/L (~39 mg/dL) rise in LDL-C increases the odds of plaque (aOR 1.21) and risk of CHD (aHR 1.28). 🔥 Risks were highest in individuals ≤45 years—a silent threat during prime decades of life

🚨 New in JACC (Aug 2025): Evidentiary Landscape of HF Therapies 🫀 Over the last decade, the heart failure field has shifted from the “mortality reduction era” (ACEIs, β-blockers, MRAs) ➡️ to the “hospitalization reduction era” (SGLT2i, ARNI in HFpEF, iron therapy). 🔑 Key Insights: ⚖️ FDA decisions reflect both rigor and flexibility — approving sacubitril/valsartan in HFpEF despite a missed primary endpoint, while rejecting omecamtiv mecarbil despite statistical significance. 🧬 Enrichment

🧬 Mesenchymal Drift: A New Hallmark of Aging & Disease 🧬 Researchers uncover that Mesenchymal Drift (MD)—the widespread activation of mesenchymal genes across tissues—is a conserved feature of aging and multiple diseases. 📉 High MD = worse outcomes (e.g., in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, survival dropped from 1,027 to 294 days). 🔄 Excitingly, partial reprogramming with Yamanaka factors (OSKM) reverses MD before cells lose their identity, restoring youthful transcriptional programs. ✨ This

🚨 New insights from Annals of Internal Medicine challenge long-held beliefs about alcohol 🍷 and health 🧬. A 2025 U.S. Surgeon General advisory links even modest drinking to increased cancer risk 🎗️—especially breast and oral cancers. Experts now urge clearer labeling, better patient counseling 🩺, and culturally normalizing abstinence 🌱.

🌟 Ramanuja (1017–1137 CE), one of India’s greatest theologians, shaped Vishishtadvaita Vedanta (Qualified Non-Dualism). His vision of Atman (self) and Brahman (supreme reality), united through bhakti (devotion), transformed Hindu theology and inspired generations. 🕉️📖 💡 His commentaries on the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and Brahma Sutras laid the foundation of Sri Vaishnavism and emphasized a path of devotion, grace, and liberation (moksha). ✨ 🙏 A reminder for today’s healthcare providers

🧬 South Asians make up 25% of the world—yet just 3% of major cardiovascular trials. A new systematic review (310 RCTs, 1M+ participants) reveals stark underrepresentation, especially outside India. No South Asians in trials for heart failure, cardiac arrest, or valvular disease. 📉 The data gap is real—and it’s limiting care. 🔍 We need global trial designs that are inclusive, disaggregated, and powered for equity.
