Carley et al demonstrate that #CPT1 upregulation in response to pathological stress is an essential adaptive response. Learn how increasing CPT1 in #HF can mitigate pathological remodeling at ahajrnls.org/4pN1xbs @VondriskaLab @kbedi88 @CPKyriakopoulos

Colleagues from many institutions have asked me how to get institutional investment / buy-in to start a central biobank. Here is one helpful metric: To date, the @MassGenBrigham Biobank has led to $750M+ in grant funding for institutional investigators. massgeneralbrigham.org/en/ab…

Research| Maddeb et al. show that while #HFpEF presents normal-looking contraction, the muscle looks abnormal, with disrupted contracting proteins, mitochondria and excess fat, particularly in the most obese patients. 👉rdcu.be/dPlJ7

Our Story is Out - on BioRxiv! Humbled to have worked with such a great team of scientists to investigating how #SGLT2 inhibitors provoke their astounding cardiac benefits.

In press @JACCJournals JACC:HF: Low serum NT-proBNP in obese #HFpEF is related to lower myocardial synthesis despite same hemodynamic load. Thanks to amazing team! @KSharmaMD @hildurkay Tess Peterson, Daniel Kikuchi, @SVungarala14 @dkassjhu doi.org/10.1016/j.jchf.2024.…

Interested in TTN/DCM? Check out current edition of @jclinicalinvest. 2 new reports: 1 by us w/ @Arany Lab and 1 from Miklos Kellermayer, plus commentary by @TravisHinson and Stuart Campbell. We know a lot more about TTN pathomechanisms! ...and we know what we don't know. 🧵1/4

There was an incredible moment in clinic yesterday when I was able to tell a patient that her disease appeared to be *reversing*. This is the first time in my life I have used those words. Cardiac myosin inhibitors for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are game changing. – at Stanford, CA
