To win my National Open in front of these fans was absolutely incredible. I love coming home, I love playing in this atmosphere and I’ll never take it for granted. Forever grateful for the support.

AQUATIC In pts with CAD (>6 months after stent) and AF, OAC alone resulted in less major bleeding and less MACE/CV death than OAC and aspirin, with a NNH of 46 patients, contributing to evidence for the OAC alone strategy for chronic CAD and AF nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

DAPA ACT HF TIMI 68 negative trial on inpatient SGLT2i initiation (possibly due to short 2 month follow up and low event rate) but totality of data from EMPULSE, SOLOIST WHF, and DAPA ACT HF TIMI 68 shows significant benefit (incl mortality) to inpatient initiation of SGLT2i 2/4

Conflicting data from REBOOT and BETAMI-DANBLOCK regarding use of beta blockers after MI in preserved LVEF (both published in NEJM), however meta-analysis of trials of mildly reduced LVEF 40-49% shows consistent benefit to beta blockers in this population 4/4

MAPLE-HCM shows Aficamten monotherapy superior to metoprolol monotherapy in symptomatic oHCM patients in improving exercise capacity, symptoms, LVOT gradient, NT proBNP. Could support a paradigm shift to myosin inhibitors as initial therapy for LVOTO? 3/4
