 The Be Active trial demonstrates the efficacy of scalable interventions, incorporating remote monitoring and behavioral economics, in boosting physical activity among high-risk cardiovascular patients. Lasting effects were observed even six months post-intervention. While additional data may be warranted for some stakeholders, these interventions hold promise as integral components of exercise-based prevention strategies for cardiovascular disease.    In this interview, Alexander Fanaroff, MD, MHS and Glenn A. Hirsch MD, MHS, FACC discuss results from the Be Active RCT.        Subscribe on Apple Podcasts |

 The VICTORION-INIATATE study demonstrated that initiating inclisiran, a highly potent lipid-lowering therapy, upon failure to achieve lipid targets with statins, yielded superior outcomes compared to standard care. This approach facilitated a greater proportion of patients in reaching LDL-C targets recommended by current guidelines. Presently, the conventional management of cholesterol disorders in the US routinely falls short of attaining treatment goals for the majority of patients.    In this interview, Michael J. Koren, MD, FACC, and C. Noel Bairey Merz, MD, FACC discuss results from the VICTORION-INITIATE randomized trial.
