Two Heart Medications Tied to Greater Heart Attack Risk During Very Hot Weather
A new Yale study found that, among people suffering non-fatal heart attacks associated with hot weather, an outsize portion were taking beta-blockers or antiplatelet medication. The study doesn’t prove that these medications caused the heart attacks, nor that they make people more vulnerable to heart attack. Although it’s possible that they did increase the risk of heart attacks triggered by hot weather, it’s also possible that patients’ underlying heart disease explains both the prescriptions and the higher susceptibility to heart attack during hot weather.

Pre-surgical Immunotherapy Benefits Are Independent of Race in Women With Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Despite a higher prevalence of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) among Black women compared to White women, Black women are underrepresented in TNBC clinical trials, particularly those involving novel immunotherapies. In a study published today in Clinical Cancer Research, researchers at Yale Cancer Center used data from a previous study showing that the combination of durvalumab and neoadjuvant chemotherapy was well tolerated and resulted in high pathologic complete response (pCR) rate in women with non-metastatic TNBC before surgery to recruit another group of racially diverse patients to see if the results were the same. Durvalumab is an immunotherapeutic that targets the PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint pathway.
