A recap of the biggest FDA news and decisions in cardiovascular medicine from the first 3 months of 2024, with commentary on recent announcements by Deepak Bhatt, MD, MPH, MBA.

Iron-deficient patients on an SGLT2 inhibitor at baseline experienced greater increases in hemoglobin levels with ferric derisomaltose compared with those not taking one.
