About the episode

AHA 23 — Dr Michael Honigberg (Massachusetts General Hospital, US) highlights key 2023 cardiology updates, featuring novel data from AHA Scientific Sessions.

Dr Honigberg  provides commentary on the new SELECT trial outcomes and emphasises the incretin mimetic, semaglutide's role in cardiovascular medicine. He delves into lipid management with a focus on the CLEAR trial data and the incorporation of bempedoic acid into existing treatment paradigms. The CANTOS trial's exploration of colchicine in coronary artery disease patients is another focal point, with Dr Honigberg sharing his experiences integrating it into his therapeutic arsenal.

Furthermore, Dr Honigberg underscores the growing recognition of cardiometabolic health that encourages more holistic approaches to cardiac health. Notably, Dr Honigberg addresses the importance of recognising social determinants of health and advocates for their integration into treatment strategies.
