At #ACC25, Dr. Milton Packer & colleagues present a new secondary analysis from the #SUMMIT trial. They find tirzepatide's #heartfailure benefits extended to patients with #CKD, and that #tirzepatide also improved renal function bit.ly/4iRQJX8

Cardiologists, patients and the entire CV community spokeβ€”ABMS didn’t listen. We are profoundly disappointed by the decision to deny the creation of a new #CVBoard.

This is such sad news.
I think we all wanted @ACCinTouch to take over our certification in #cardiology & not leave to the ABMS.
Cardiology is often a Department, not within a Division of Medicine. We need to separate to make this happen.
