- Frailty and Sarcopenia in HFpEF: Considerations for GLP1RAsHeart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) affects an estimated 3 million people in the United States and up to 32 million worldwide, with an estimated lifetime risk of heart failure (HF) exceeding 10% at 45 years of age in both men and women.
- CAUGHT-CAD Analysis: Statin Therapy and Plaque PassivationStatin treatment in asymptomatic, intermediate-risk individuals was associated with plaque passivation, a shift toward higher density calcium within coronary plaques, with greater increases in high- and very high-density calcium among patients achieving an LDL-C reduction ≥30%...
