Ever wonder about all the non-cardiovascular diseases in #MI patients? Read this amazing paper on temporal trends on non-CV disease in MI patients through 17 years by @DanielMolager and @tsg_sehested in @JACCJournals. #CardioTwitter #NonCardiotwitter

Our new study demonstrates higher risk of MACE in ppl achieving initial remission of T2D. More attention to RF management with statins and RASi seems needed in lifestyle-treated individuals without glucose-lowering therapy. @CardiologyZuh @ARuwald @bochrajamal

Danish data show higher CV risk in individuals with initial remission of #T2D than in those with well-controlled T2D on glucose-lowering therapy. This appeared related to lower CV RF management with statins and RASi. @AFalkentoft @ARuwald @Filip_Knop https://t.co/j5wPhLtNZX 🔓

Beyond glucose control, the opportunity for risk factor management in PPL with new #T2D often remains unfulfilled leading to higher rates of #heartdisease #CVD @Filip_Knop @DiabetologiaJnl https://t.co/HF2sKXHh7E

What is the association between #frailty and time in hospital following #TAVR? Find out in @JAHA_AHA Frail patients have an⬆️risk of death & complications. For these patients, life-expectancy is limited and time in hospital is central for quality of life, yet data remain sparse

In this @TheLancet sdy @MariamElmegaard et al found that in 77,745 ptts w first time SGLT2-is and 56,037 GLP1-RAs the risk of discontinuing was 56% and 45%, respectively, w a decreased risk over the sdy-period https://t.co/zJWKje8tpy #Cardiotwitter @cardiology @diabetes

Data on all Danish first-time users of SGLT2is and GLP1-RAs from 2013 to 2021 show that ~50% discontinued therapy within five years, but a quarter of these reinitiated therapy during the following year. Discontinuation rates decreasing with time. https://t.co/DRY2zdHmYC

In this sdy, @cnsolli et al. found that 1 dose of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid 500/125 mg or clindamycin 600 mg within 30-120 min. prior to hemodialysis was sufficient to maintain prophylactic plasma concentrations throughout the whole duration. 🦠+💊=💀 https://t.co/aDwPK1zhfa
