Congratulations to all of our @uniofgalway Masters of Diabetes students, who graduated today 🎓

Dr Hartley’s talk on menopause & CVD was excellent 👏🏼
✅ Key point:
👉🏽 While some evidence suggests [some] HRT may have cardioprotective properties (n.b. timing), it’s also not recommended for CVD prevention as a sole indication.

Dr Jai Cegla with my favourite talk of the day on Lipoprotein(a) 🫀
❤️🔥 Lp(a) is causal with graded ⬆️ CVD risk.
🥲 No current direct Lp(a) therapeutics.
💊 PCSK9i = modest reduction.
🚨 More aggressive management of other lipid risk factors (⬇️⬇️ LDLc).
