How long do I have to stay on meds after CTRCD? In HER SAFE carefully selected population it was safe to stop. Huge Congratulations @dr_manisty and her mentees on this important practice-informingbstudy!#ESCCongress @ehj_ed
Heart function stayed stable at 1 year after carefully monitored withdrawal of heart failure therapy in breast cancer survivors with recovered anti-HER2 cardiotoxicity. Work from our group at @ucl, presented by @bmdwsg as a Late-Breaking Trial at #ESCCongress 2026 & published simultaneously in @ehj_ed: HER-SAFE. @TheBHF @escardio @MycardiumAI #CardioOnc

🚨 Two randomized #CardioOncology trials at #ESCCongress2026!
🫀 RADICAL PC2: CV referral improved risk-factor control in prostate cancer.
💗 HER-SAFE: HF therapy withdrawal after recovery from anti-HER2 CTRCD appeared safe at 12 months.

Today Dr Ben Dowsing @bmdwsg presented the #HERSAFE trial. Can we safely stop CV medication after cancer treatment? All the answers in this #EHJ publication! academic.oup.com/eurheartj/a… @sohaibnazir @dr_manisty @arjunkg @ehj_ed

Excited to see our work on myocardial fibrosis and reverse remodelling after AVR for chronic aortic regurgitation published in @JAMACardio! lnkd.in/eCcS-BjD
At 7 months post AVR:
🔹 LVEDV ↓44%
🔹 LV mass ↓21%
🔹 Matrix ↓15%
But focal scar did not regress #whyCMR @TheBHF

Glad to see our paper published in the European Heart Journal: Cardiovascular Imaging @ESC_Journals!
In 5,675 Cardiac MRI studies, asymmetrical septal hypertrophy (ASH) was present in 61% of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients, but also 37% of ATTR amyloidosis, 26% of aortic stenosis and 23% of AL amyloidosis.
After accounting for age, sex & body size, however, excess asymmetry remained uniquely associated with HCM (ΔSLR +0.27).

A study led by @mrcunitgambia in partnership with @radboudumc and @ChariteBerlin, shows that vaccinating #PregnantWomen against #WhoopingCough protects babies in their blood and nasal lining, where infection starts.

Fantastic summary. Clinicians often underestimate the impact of lifelong poly pharmacy - “you say treatment, I say hard work!”. HER-SAFE will address GDMT withdrawal in breast cancer survivors with HFimpEF following antiHER cardiac dysfunction. Recruitment finishing soon!
In #JACCHF, Drs. Nandan Kodur & @WilsonTangMD review management of #HFimpEF
🔸Who must continue #GDMT?
🔸What are characteristics of those who may be able to withdraw?
🔸Where are the evidence gaps?
🔸What are areas for future study

Can HF drugs be stopped after #cancer treatment and cardiac recovery? This RCT will provide some answers!
👏Congratulations to @bmdwsg & @dr_manisty for leading this work!
🙏Grateful to be part of the team.

A huge thanks to @MariaSolAndres1 and everyone working so hard to make HER-SAFE a success! Looking forward to providing some high quality evidence in this uncertain area of breast cancer survivorship. @TheBHF @UCL_ICS @NHSBartsHealth @uclh @RBandH @ImperialNHS

Interesting article by New York Times on different Covid-19 antibody tests and the significance of waning antibodies. Particularly chuffed that they reference our Co-Stars 💫 study! @grandjean_louis @HatcherJim @GreatOrmondSt #COVID19

Large COVID-19 seroprevalence studies that target the nucleoprotein antibody are probably significantly underestimating the true prevalence of previous infection medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/… With thanks to everyone on the Co-Stars team 💫 @grandjean_louis @HatcherJim @GreatOrmondSt

DAPA-HF at #esccongress: use of SGLT2 inhibitor Dapagliflozin in addition to standard care in pts with EF<40% resulted in:
♥️ 26% ⬇️ death/worsening HF
♥️ 18%⬇️ CV death
♥️ 30%⬇️ worsening HF
In both pts with AND without diabetes
