Today we at @CTCPR_ started recruitment for our most recent GIGA trial, the DAN-ZOSTER trial:
clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT…
In DAN-ZOSTER we will randomize 162,000 participants to assess whether a shingles vaccination may reduce the future risk of cardiovascular disease and dementia

#ACC26 @ACCinTouch delivered this year. Outstanding LBCTs, a tremendous FACC ceremony, a 3rd place in the wellness challenge, and most importantly - good food with great friends! @matslassen @KristofferSkaar @LisaSteenDuus ("Team DAN-RSV") @DLBHATTMD @Ajar_Kochar

Star PhD fellow @LisaSteenDuus presenting her findings on DAN-RSV participants with CKD.
13,364/131,379 (10.2%) had CKD
RSVpreF reduced event rates among CKD patients with a possible effect modification by eGFR
RSVpreF did not reduce kidney outcomes.
Stay tuned for the paper!

New paper in @CircAHA 🫀📊
In older adults, poor CKM health was highly prevalent, with ~88% in stage 3–4.
⬆️ CKM stage → worse 🫀 remodeling + higher HF risk 📈
Stage 4 vs 2: >8x higher risk over ~9 years

Meeting Scandinavian Cardiologists all over the world! Yesterday I met professor Finn Gustafsson (who lives in SF and not DK) in London and today I met professor @dan_atar on the plane to Tokyo. The world is small and full of Scandinavian Cardiologists

🫁📐DAN-RSV – Rationale & Design. A @AmericanHeartJ publication
RSVpreF protects against RSV disease — but does it reduce severe RSV and cardiorespiratory hospitalizations in older adults?
@matslassen and colleagues from @CTCPR_ designed DAN-RSV to answer this.
Up to 130,000 adults ≥60y randomized 1:1 to RSVpreF vs no vaccine.
Pragmatic. Registry-based. Nationwide digital recruitment.
A real-world RCT built to inform future vaccination policy.

Influenza is a well-established trigger for HF , increasing risks of hospitalization, and death. Evidence from RCTs support flu vaccination as a low-cost, scalable strategy to improve outcomes, yet uptake remains suboptimal worldwide (link.springer.com/article/10…). #HREV @TorBiering

Higher aldosterone-renin ratios in older adults were linked to increased risk of afib and stroke ❤️🩹🧠
These findings support the aldosterone pathway as a promising target for CVD prevention. 🔬💊

Please find our #THTSimPub in @JCardFail below 👇
In this paper, led by @TarekBekfaniMD, we re-visit the evidence behind HeartLogic and describe all the current and future RCTs which are testing the potential prognostic benefit of HeartLogic guided remote cardiac HF care @CTCPR_
🫀#THTSimPub Alert
This 🔥State-of-the-Art Review examines HeartLogic, a multisensor algorithm embedded in existing CIEDs to detect early HF decompensation, as well as the DANLOGIC-HF RCT which will test whether guided management reduces HF events!

In adults 65 to 79 years of age, there appeared to be fewer hospitalizations for influenza or pneumonia with high-dose influenza vaccine than with the standard dose, with a similar incidence of serious adverse events. Full GALFLU trial results and Research Summary: nej.md/46712T2
