Outpatient worsening HF as an endpoint in clinical trials? Thrilled to present our cross trial analysis in
HFp/mrEF @CVCTForum #LBCT session showing oral diuretic intensification
🎯 Occurs frequently
🎯 Is prognostically relevant
🎯 ⬇️ by all therapeutic classes
🎯 Has implications for trial efficiency

What if getting slower isn’t simply aging—but a warning sign that something in the body has changed?
In my TEDxBoston talk, I explore why cardiorespiratory fitness—and meaningful changes from your baseline—should be treated as a vital sign.

We had a great time presenting at the 2026 Autumn Cardiac Sciences Nursing Education Day for cardiac nurses in Calgary.
We include tips for a focused family history.

Efficacy and Safety of Semaglutide According to Frailty Status
A Post Hoc Analysis of the SELECT Randomized Clinical Trial
This study found that semaglutide demonstrated beneficial effects on a broad range of clinical outcomes in SELECT, without detectable heterogeneity by baseline FI. Benefits of semaglutide on health-related quality of life appeared greater with higher FI.

How much exercise remodels the heart?
Data derived from CMR sets suggest a dose-response relationship: LV hypertrophy and LV/RV dilation become more prevalent as weekly exercise volume rises.
But >5 hours/week is neither a universal threshold nor evidence of disease.
Training exposure matters. Learn more at the BSCS.

⏲️ 11 minutes saved per study. 35% faster overall!
AI 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 from 31 minutes 39 seconds to 20 minutes 35 seconds. A 35% reduction, held up across both inpatient (39.9%) and outpatient (32.5%) cohorts.
But the number that got our attention wasn't the time savings. It was the sonographer feedback.
🔹 100% reported much lower click burden with the AI workflow
🔹 100% said AI enhanced their natural scanning flow and lab efficiency
🔹 100% preferred the AI workflow for future adoption
Huge thanks to Dr. Ilya Karagodin MD and the entire Endeavor Health team for the work.

At ESC Congress 2026, Dr. Fawaz Alenezi, MD presented our latest late-breaker: an AI model that 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐏𝐇 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐫-𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩. 𝐍𝐨 𝐃𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝.
Developed in collaboration with Duke, and trained on 17,969 patients (the largest RHC-confirmed cohort ever assembled for AI-based PH detection), the model was externally validated across three continents. AUROC 0.917 in France. 0.871 in China. Substantially beating the prior single-view AI benchmark.
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞: PH screening that can leave the specialist echo lab. Point-of-care detection. Earlier suspicion in the exact settings where late diagnosis happens most.

A lot of disappointments in CV trials lately. 😳 so sorry to see this announcement today:
HERMES and ATHENA has also been stopped due to "the low likelihood of a different outcome from ZEUS."
