Dr. Jeanne De Lavallaz and Dr. Ramy Doss discuss the results of the  TRANSFORM-AF Trial with expert faculty Dr. Sanjeev Saksena and Dr. Varun Sundaram.   The TRANSFORM-AF trial enrolled 2,510 patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), type 2 diabetes, and obesity across 170 Veterans Affairs hospitals to evaluate the impact of diabetes-dose GLP-1 receptor agonists on AF-related outcomes. Participants were assigned to receive either a GLP-1 receptor agonist, a DPP-IV inhibitor, or a sulfonylurea. The primary composite outcome included AF-related hospitalizations, cardioversions, ablation procedures, and all-cause mortality. Over a median follow-up of 3.2 years, GLP-1 use was associated with a 13% reduction in major AF-related events compared to other therapies. The study population was predominantly male, with a high prevalence of severe obesity (BMI >40 kg/m²) in whom the benefit appeared most pronounced. Notably, the observed benefit occurred despite only modest additional weight loss, suggesting potential non-weight-mediated effects of GLP-1 therapy  This episode was planned in collaboration with  Heart Rhythm TV with mentorship from Dr. Daniel Alyesh and Dr. Mehak Dhande.  CardioNerds Journal Club PageCardioNerds Episode PageCardioNerds AcademyCardionerds Healy Honor Roll CardioNerds Journal ClubSubscribe to The Heartbeat Newsletter!Check out CardioNerds SWAG!Become a CardioNerds Patron!

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
