SGLT2 Inhibitor Empagliflozin Is Shown to Be Safe and Effective for Treating Patients Who Have Suffered a Heart Attack
The SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin confers kidney-protective benefits and can therefore be given safely and effectively to patients when they are hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction (MI), a Mount Sinai-led global team of researchers has shown.
RNA Inhibitor Is Shown Safe and Effective in Reducing a Wide Range of Cholesterol and Triglyceride Levels in the Blood in Mount Sinai-Led Clinical Trial
A small interfering RNA (siRNA) investigational therapy that inhibits a gene involved in lipoprotein metabolism has been shown in a clinical trial led by Mount Sinai researchers to significantly reduce levels of different types of cholesterol and triglycerides in individuals with mixed hyperlipidemia, a condition in which fats build up in the blood.

Coronary Bioresorbable Scaffolds Nearly as Safe and Effective as Conventional Metal Stents for Heart Disease Patients
First-generation bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) may be just as effective as drug-eluting metallic stents, which are currently the standard treatment for heart disease patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
High-Dose Anticoagulation Can Reduce Intubations and Improve Survival for Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients
High-dose anticoagulation can reduce deaths by 30 percent and intubations by 25 percent in hospitalized COVID-19 patients who are not critically ill when compared to the standard treatment, which is low-dose anticoagulation.
