While clinical trials typically report average health outcomes at specific time points, a new secondary analysis of the ISCHEMIA trial has delved into the individual patient journeys of angina symptoms over time. The study identified six distinct patterns of angina trajectories, revealing that an initial invasive strategy is associated with more favourable symptom pathways compared to a… View more

While both metabolic surgery and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RAs) are known to improve cardiometabolic health, direct long-term comparisons of their macrovascular and microvascular outcomes have been lacking. A new study published in Nature Medicine has addressed this gap by comparing these two major treatment strategies in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity.¹This… View more
