Women As One @womenasone.bsky.social · 22h

At RISE @ ESC Congress 2025, Professor Vijay Kunadian reminded us that success begins with mindset.

In a system that often challenges women, belief, focus, and community drive empowerment and equity in medicine.

#LetsRISE2025 #ESCCongress #WCCardio #CardioSky

A quote from Professor Vijay Kunadian during the Heart Talk with the Global Community session at RISE @ ESC Congress 2025: "What you let into your head is so important. Tune out the negatives; it's the fire in your belly that's what keeps you going. If you are passionate about something, nobody should stop you from doing that. We need to empower ourselves to achieve what we what we need to achieve."

💥 The SCOT-HEART 2 trail could transform how we identify those at risk of heart attacks.

🔬 Trial randomizes asymptomatic patients ages 40-70 with ≥1 risk factors to either #CoronaryCTA or standard care, with appropriate therapies, looking for primary outcome of heart attack.

The global cardiovascular–liver–metabolic syndemic: epidemiology, trends and challenges

Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 06 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41569-025-01220-4In this Review, Nicholas Chew and colleagues use epidemiological data on the cardiovascular–liver–metabolic disease syndemic to illustrate current and future projections on the burden of these diseases and their risk factors, and propose a unified framework for integrating and implementing effective multisystem interventions to tackle key components of this syndemic.
