In this Radcliffe Cardiology Masterclass, Dr Harriette Van Spall (McMaster University, Canada) sits down with cardiology legend Dr Eugene Braunwald (Harvard Medical School, TIMI Study Group) to explore his life, landmark research, and advice for the next generation of cardiovascular clinicians and scientists. This discussion was originally recorded in 2021, and we share it now in remembrance of… View more

Mirjam Boros, Radcliffe CardiologyA post hoc analysis of the SURPASS-CVOT trial suggests that tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, is associated with a lower incidence of a broad composite of cardiorenal events compared with the GLP-1 receptor agonist dulaglutide in patients with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease.¹Tirzepatide is a dual agonist that targets both… View more

While glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have established cardiorenal benefits in type 2 diabetes, long-term data for their use in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have been scarce. A new large-scale study suggests that initiating GLP-1RA therapy is associated with a lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular and kidney outcomes in this population, without compromising safety… View more

Mirjam Boros, Radcliffe CardiologyA post hoc secondary analysis of the SOUL trial has found that once-daily oral semaglutide is associated with early and sustained improvements in multiple cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in high-risk patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).¹ These findings help to explain the mechanisms behind the primary trial results, which showed a 14% reduction in major adverse… View more

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), a marker of inflammation, has a debated role in primary cardiovascular (CV) prevention. A large, population-based study using UK Biobank data has provided further insight into its utility as a clinical biomarker for identifying individuals at residual risk who do not have known atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).¹MethodologyThis population… View more

Recent US guidelines have controversially recommended lowering the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) target to <55 mg/dL for patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).¹˒² The Ez-PAVE trial is the first randomised study to directly compare this intensive target with a conventional target of <70 mg/dL. The findings were published in The New England… View more
