Excited to share this work with @vaughalle1.bsky.social! Reduction of PAI-1 activity can slow - and even reverse - vascular aging

Awesome talk by Dr Cindy James on the many findings from the 800+ DSP-erados network 👏🏻 DSP cardiomyopathy certainly a good example of why knowing genotype is so important #gcchat #cardiogen #hrs2025

This is an enormous loss: www.whi.org/md/news/whi-...

WHI Funding Announcement (April 21, 2025)
Today, Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) investigators were informed that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will terminate WHI Regional Center (RC) contracts at the end of their current fiscal year (September 2025). The WHI Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) will continue operations until January 2026, after which time its funding remains uncertain. While written notification has yet to be received, investigators have been advised to expect formal confirmation soon.

Infographic from the NIH: "Stories of Success in Disease Prevention: Informing National Recommendations About Clinical Preventive Services" #medsky www.nih.gov/sites/defaul... prevention.nih.gov

The NIH closes scientific evidence gaps and reduces uncertainty for health care providers.

The USPSTF makes recommendations about primary care preventive services such as screenings, behavioral counseling, and preventive medications.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) evaluates evidence.

USPSTF issues an I statement when appropriate (The USPSTF issues an I statement when evidence is insufficient to evaluate a preventive service’s benefits and harms).

More evidence is generated.

The USPSTF reevaluates the evidence.

The USPSTF issues a recommendation for or against providing a service

The NIH is the largest single funder of the scientific evidence base used by the USPSTF.

Eleven I statements were upgraded between 2010 and 2019.

The NIH supported an average of 11 publications per
I statement. This represents 29% of all publications
and 62% of U.S.-based publications that provided
evidence to upgrade the I statements.

NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices funded research that helped upgrade the 15 eleven I statements.

Study design: Study designs used in NIH-supported
studies that informed upgraded I statements:

64% RCTs, 21% cohort studies, 5% cross-section studies, 10% other

Evidence: Characteristics of NIH-supported evidence that enabled the USPSTF to move I statements to recommended (grade A, B, or C) or not recommended (grade D) services

For details, refer to: Klabunde CN, Ellis EM, Villani J, Neilson E, Schwartz K, Vogt EA, Ngo-Metzger Q. Characteristics of Scientific Evidence Informing Changed U.S.

More men are diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy than women – but is it due to higher risk or underdiagnosis? A new study led by Dr Paz Tayal has shown it to be both - men face greater risk, but sex-specific criteria aren’t applied so women may be underdiagnosed. imperial.ac.uk/news/260894/...
