At #ACC26, DCRI’s @nishantshahmd.bsky.social offered up a practical recipe to take GLP-1 agonists from ‘pharm to table’ within any clinic, while still allowing physicians to add their own ‘spice’ to accommodate a patient’s unique needs. #cvMetabolic #ASCVD #CardioSky

🆕 #ACC26 Late-Breaking Trial 👇

Ez-PAVE: Lowering LDL-C to <55 mg/dL in patients with #ASCVD reduced the rate of major cardiovascular events by one-third.

Elevated Lp(a) doesn't just raise #CV risk, it carries a major economic price tag. Data shared by @nishantshahmd.bsky.social at #ACC26 shows the highest Lp(a) group incurs $506/person/year or $253M over 5 years, in indirect costs. The case for early testing is clear. #ASCVD #cvLipids #CardioSky

Join Ty Gluckman, MD, and colleagues for a case-based Master Class focused on closing gaps in ASCVD prevention — from Lp(a) testing to personalized lipid-lowering strategies.
