GLP-1 RAs show particular benefits in peripheral artery disease and post-acute cardiovascular events, while SGLT2is demonstrate unique advantages in ASCVD with comorbid chronic kidney disease.

Excited to share our latest work in #JournalMolCellCardio! We show that pressure overload induces a cardiac neoantigen-specific humoral immune response, a novel mechanism in experimental HFrEF.

Appreciate your engagement! While salt sensitivity and its impact on blood pressure have been studied, our paper brings new insights into the molecular mechanisms and clinical implications. Advancing the conversation with updated research is how science moves forward.
