🫀🔬 Excited to see our postdoc @AriannaScalco presenting our work at #ESCCongress on a novel mechanism of residual inflammatory risk in ASCVD: macrophage-derived HB-EGF activates EGFR signaling and drives adverse macrophage–vascular smooth muscle cell crosstalk. @hopkinsheart

Great to see our postdoc @kristellelatouf ’s work at #ESCCongress2026! Lp(a) rises transiently after ACS, peaking around days 4–7, highlighting how timing of Lp(a) measurement after ACS may matter for clinical interpretation. @hopkinsheart @rblument1 @Lpa_Doc @OslerResidency
