9/29 I start at Mercy in St. Louis! After reflection & emotional debate, we’ve moved to STL. Working at ZSFG/UCSF has been a profound privilege. The community, patients, & colleagues gave me more than I can ever express. Please know how grateful I am to have been part of this extraordinary team.

Heart failure (HF) affects 6 million people in the US, and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a significant risk factor for HF. Since 2008, regulatory agencies have required cardiovascular safety trials

#LBCT #SUMMIT trial #AHA24 💥 Treatment with tirzepatide led to ⤵️risk of a composite of death from cardiovascular 🫀 causes or worsening heart failure 🆚 placebo and improved health status in patients with HFpEF+obesity 📎 @NEJM www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....
BPROAD presented at #AHA24 showed in those w/ type 2 diabetes & elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP), intensive SBP lowering (<120 mmHg) reduced major adverse CV events (MACE) by 21% compared to standard treatment (<140 mmHg). Watch this for one attendee’s take on the data.
