Emerging Cardiovascular Insights From GLP-1 and Valve Innovations

At ACC 2025, experts spotlighted advances in cardiometabolic care and structural heart disease. Dr. Hadley Wilson highlighted semaglutide’s role in improving mobility and quality of life in peripheral arterial disease, as well as its expanding use in heart failure and post-MI care. The ALIGN-AR trial showed promise for a new transcatheter valve for aortic regurgitation. Dr. Chiadi Ndumele presented the SOUL study, where oral semaglutide reduced major CV events by 14% in high-risk type 2 diabetes patients. Additionally, new data linked regular cannabis use to increased cardiovascular risk, emphasizing the need for better patient education. These findings offer physicians practical tools for optimizing cardiometabolic and lifestyle-related care.

Representation of Women and Racially and Ethnically Marginalized Principal Investigators in Vascular Device Trials

Source : https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamasurgery/article-abstract/2814242

This study aimed to describe diversity by gender identity and race and ethnicity among principal investigators in vascular device trials. It describes the lack of diversity in trial leadership, especially in arterial disease device trials, and recommends action steps.
