Pleased to provide commentary on some of the tenecteplase data that emerged from ESOC. This seems like icing on the cake to me and switching to TNK is a sensible strategy @eva_mistry @ToddNeale @ESOstroke @WorldStrokeOrg @AANmember tctmd.com/news/more-trial-ev…

Using a #Statin could improve outcomes in #HFpEF patients who are free from #ASCVD, a new #JACCAdvances study suggests. Past #ACCPresident @MinnowWalsh shared her insights on the findings with @ToddNeale in @TCTMD: bit.ly/3QxA3bk

Statins Might Help in HFpEF—Even in the Absence of ASCVD

Lower risks of death and MACE in statin users are intriguing, but need to be confirmed in randomized trials, experts say.
