In an interview with HCPLive, Dr. Jean-Pierre Llanos-Ackert and Dr. Bill Cook discuss how tezepelumab resulted in improved lung function and an 86% reduction in exacerbation rates in this patient population.

Data show the outcome of all-cause mortality, MI, or stent thrombosis occurred in 5.3% of patients vaccinated against the flu and 7.2% of patients who were given placebo.

Now that the agent shows benefit in mitigating comorbid risks, the expert advocates for more timely diagnoses and treatment initiation.

Investigators observed systolic blood pressure was lower by a rate of 6.9 mm Hg in the intervention group versus the control group.

Data show substantially reductions in cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, revascularization, and cardiovascular death following fixed-dose combination treatment strategies.

Data show lower incidence of CV events following intensive treatment with a systolic blood pressure target of 110 to 130 mm Hg compared to standard treatment.

Data show oral anticoagulation following atrial fibrillation screening was initiated in 1036 participants, with 445 (29.7%) in the ILR group versus 591 (13.1%) in the control group.
