GameChangers: Colchicine Use Post-MI

CEimpact Podcast

In this week's GameChangers we explore the emerging role of colchicine in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Drs. Wall and Boyd discuss colchicine's anti-inflammatory benefits, the challenges posed by side effects and drug interactions, and the latest research shaping its future in clinical practice.

The GameChanger
Colchicine shows potential for secondary prevention in cardiovascular disease due to its anti-inflammatory properties, but its clinical use is limited by gastrointestinal side effects and drug interactions.
