#ACC22 LBTs/ Featured Research one liners:
1. VALOR HCM: MAVACAMTEN at 16 weeks in symptomatic HCM decreased the need of SRT
2. Sodium HF: in HF outpatients low-Na diet of 1500 mg/day was not associated with a reduction in CV events but moderate benefit on QoL by KCCQ

⭐️ ischemic heart disease mortality is rising in SA
⭐️ a NorCal Kaiser study looked at incident CHD - showed 8.93% patients with at least one CV event in the SA group, versus 5.66% in the total population (Pursnani 2020)
⭐️ heterogeneity among diff SA groups - unclear why

⭐️ SA have increased visceral fat in the abdomen, liver & around the heart
⭐️ Current risk algorithms (QRISK3) tend to underestimate ASCVD risk in SA
⭐️ Estimated prevalence of GDM in SA up to 17%
⭐️ Subclinical atherosclerosis & premature CAD more prevelant in SA (3/4)

This weekend at #ACC22 it was such an honor to present on nutrition & share our new paper "Practical, Evidence-Based Approaches to Nutritional Modifications to Reduce Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease: An ASPC Clinical Practice Statement" sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
It was an honor to lead a clinical practice statement with world renowned cardiologists @DrMarthaGulati @ErinMichos @rblument1 @kcferdmd @DrOstfeld @RonBlankstein @pnatarajanmd @KoushikReddyMD and world expert nutrition scientists @KevinH_PhD @deirdre_tobias @KCKlatt & Dr Sriram
If you told me I would have this opportunity when I was a cardiology fellow, just 2 yrs ago, I would have said "that's impossible." But thanks to @DrMarthaGulati & every author on this important paper, my knowledge of nutrition science & cardiovascular disease continues to grow.
Some patients with very high LDL-C who have already suffered a heart attack:
*may need both the PCSK9 and the ANGTPL3 pathways inactivated
*can we accomplish this with gene editing -
the switching off of two genes in the liver in the same individual?

NHPs treated:
*day 0 with VERVE-101 targeting PCSK9 (one-time IV infusion)
*day 30 with ANGPTL3 base editor (one-time IV infusion)
*necropsy at day 90 -->
high level editing of each gene!!
69% editing PCSK9
61% editing ANGTPL3
Each edit designed to switch off respective gene

Day 0 - VERVE 101 Rx,
blood PCSK9 level plummets
Day 30 - ANGPTL3 base editor Rx,
blood ANGPTL3 level plummets
This will likely be durable for lifetime animal (person)!

96% lower plasma ANGPTL3 nearly 2y later in non-human primates!!
Coming era of "molecular surgery":
* one time Rx
* permanent switch off disease-causing gene in liver
* lifelong benefit

some ASCVD patients start with very-high LDL
and
still do not reach LDL goal
despite oral standard-of-care and PCSK9i

Hey #ACC22 presenters, especially late breaking studies of consequence. If you don't have simultaneous peer-reviewed pub, consider #preprint what you presented so it's archived & accessible. Let’s make it normative. @medrxivpreprint @yaleHFdoc #LBCT @EricTopol @CMichaelGibson
@medrxivpreprint @yaleHFdoc @EricTopol @CMichaelGibson For all #ACC22 presenters, preprinting is easy; we accept scientific studies, screen rapidly, post quickly. Non-profit. It is of the community-available throughout the world, understood as pre-peer reviewed, and citable. Almost all reputable journals are fine with it, incl @NEJM.
@medrxivpreprint @yaleHFdoc @EricTopol @CMichaelGibson @NEJM In the pandemic @medrxivpreprint stimulated discussions about research in progress, & many examples of advancing research. Cardiology has not yet fully embraced it, yet is this work any less important? All fields should accelerate public scientific communication & #openscience.
Perhaps the most important and most actionable trial #ACC22 is Chronic Hypertension and Pregnancy (CHAP) Trial. Blood pressure control matters in pregnancy. This needs to be put into action. Next in line of great recent BP trials. nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.105… @ACCinTouch @NEJM
@ACCinTouch @NEJM In this study @atitapatterns and colleagues randomized 2408 women w/chronic htn to target <140/90 or usual care (unless BP ≥160/105). Outcomes improved substantially with strategy of targeting <140/90. 18% reduction in risk for primary outcome. @nih_nhlbi @NICHD_NIH
@ACCinTouch @NEJM @atitapatterns @nih_nhlbi @NICHD_NIH Here is the blood pressure in the trial…at baseline SBP was ~134 mm Hg. About 56% diagnosed and receiving medication. SBP randomization to delivery lower in active-Rx group (129.5 vs 132.6 and 81.5 vs 81.5). That’s not much, but yet, yielded benefit.
Should we put patients w/chronic heart failure on low sodium diets. This international trial indicates it doesn’t decrease risk of CV events or all-cause death. Little reason to promote the approach.
Nice study @JustinEzekowitz and colleagues. #ACC22 thelancet.com/journals/lance…

@JustinEzekowitz The #SODIUMHF study had an interesting finding…secondary endpoints of health status modestly improved w/low salt diet. People can try it if they want & see if they feel better. If not, they can stop w/o fear they're increasing their risk. We docs should not push it on them.
@JustinEzekowitz Another interesting feature of the study is that while people reported modest improvement in health status w/low salt diet, they did not walk farther in 6 minute walk test. So a split in what you might expect.

1️⃣ #HFrEF tx
✅ Pros: Clear 4 pillar 1st line 1 day ( No wait)
❌ Cons: NYHA is not fixed very changeable : Better using Hypotension (SBP<100 mmHg) as choice criteria for ACE/ARB vs ARNI
❌ Cons: After 1 + 1/2 year from #GALACTIC_HF Omecamtiv Mecarbil still not in GD

🧵Key Points👇
🧵Key Points👇
1⃣ Guideline-directed medical therapy for #HeartFailure w/ reduced ejection fraction #HFrEF now incorporates four medication classes that include #SGLT2i. #ClinicalGuidelines
2⃣ #SGLT2i have a Class of Recommendation 2a in #HFmrEF. Weaker recommendations (COR 2b) are made for ARNi, ACEi, ARB, MRA & beta blockers in this population. #ClinicalGuidelines
