We said farewell to Dr Jaza Karim today, his long career in cardiology ends on Friday. A very good and experienced clinician, but more importantly one of the kindest human beings I have ever met. We wish him a long and healthy retirement

Promising early data for the novel myosin modulator EDG-7500 (catchy!) from CIRRUS HCM trial, presented by Anjali Owens and discussed by Iacopo Olivotto. Doesnโ€™t affect LVEF so wonโ€™t need serial echo. #HeartFailure2025

Very exciting study presented by Marianna Fontana. CRISPR gene editing stabilises TTR after 1 dose with no disease progression. No longer science fiction ๐Ÿ˜€ More impressive, majority of ATTRv pts had p. V142I, so a study with (presumably) at least 19% pts of black ethnicity ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ
