🚨 New paper alert! 🚨
Using SHaRe registry data, we explored how clinical & genetic risk factors influence heart failure, arrhythmias, and mortality in men & women with HCM.
This study, from my PhD, emphasises the need for sex-specific approaches to improve care.

Lipoprotein(a) levels in a population with clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in the United States: A subanalysis from the Lp(a)HERITAGE study Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, responsible for an estimated 27% of deaths in the United States (US) in 2021.1 Globally, almost 20 million deaths were caused by CVD in 2021, which represents an increase of approximately 21% since 2010.1 Elevated lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) is the most common genetic dyslipidemia,2 affecting approximately 1.5 billion people worldwide. Evidence from both epidemiological and genetic studies identifies elevated Lp(a) as independently and causally associated with increased atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk.

black or female, test lp(a)

'One-third of participants demonstrated Lp(a) levels ≥125 nmol/L, the threshold for high ASCVD risk, which was higher among Black (1/2) and female (2/5) participants, suggesting a greater need for Lp(a) testing'

I couldn't spot a starter pack for rare disease / clinical genomics, so I started one: go.bsky.app/SUWZ9Hw

Very much a work in progress, and biased by who I have already found here, so please suggest people to add! Self-nominations encouraged.
