Closing statement
Marco de Carlo

AIMS: Irbesartan slows rate of aortic root dilatation in Marfan syndrome

CAMELLIA-TIMI 61: Lorcaserin helps weight loss without CV adversity in overweight patients at high CV risk

COMMANDER HF: Rivaroxaban does not reduce deaths compared with placebo in chronic heart failure with reduced EF

COMPASS trial shows that GI or GU bleeds may signal cancer in patients with vascular disease treated with antithrombic therapy
