This episode of Don't Miss a Beat centers on the evolving treatment landscape for transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) with special guest Ahmad Masri, MD. Hosts Muthiah Vaduganathan, MD, MPH, a cardiologist and codirector of the Center for Cardiometabolic Implementation Science at Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Steve Greene, MD, an advanced heart failure specialist at Duke University School of Medicine, are joined by Masri, who serves as the director of the HCM and Amyloid Program at Oregon Health & Science University, to discuss the rapid therapeutic advances in ATTR-CM and the emerging questions shaping real-world clinical practice. Masri reviews the progression from a previously untreatable disease to one now managed with three US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved disease-modifying agents: tafamidis (VYNDAMAX), acoramidis (Attruby), and vutrisiran (AMVUTTRA). He highlights the tafamidis approval in 2019 as a landmark in the field, showing a substantial survival benefit in the ATTR-ACT trial, followed by similar results from acoramidis, which received approval in late 2024, in ATTRibute-CM. Vutrisiran, a TTR gene silencer approved by the FDA in March 2025, represents a mechanistically distinct approach validated in the HELIOS-B trial. Despite these advances, Masri notes that patients with late-stage disease derive limited symptomatic benefit and that residual risk remains high, even with treatment. The conversation explores whether stabilizers and silencers can or should be combined, with Masri urging caution, citing the absence of clinical data demonstrating additive benefit and warning against assumptions of harmony without clinical evidence. Masri indicated ongoing trials, such as CARDIO-TTRansform, may offer clarity on this issue. Without direct comparisons between therapies, treatment selection often hinges on patient preference, delivery method, pill burden, and payer coverage. In practice, clinicians rely on pharmacodynamic markers, like changes in TTR levels, to assess treatment effect and adjust therapy accordingly. Masri emphasizes that while ATTR-CM trials may not show improvements in quality-of-life scores, slowing disease progression remains a critical and meaningful endpoint in this severe, high-mortality condition. Looking ahead, the panel discusses the next wave of therapeutic innovation. Multiple trials are now testing agents that aim to clear amyloid from the myocardium, including NI006 (ALXN2220), PRX004, and AT-02. These immune-modulating treatments are designed for long-term use and may complement stabilizers or silencers in patients with established amyloid burden. The episode closes with a discussion on prevention. For patients with asymptomatic cardiac involvement, current therapies halt disease progression entirely in many cases. For those with pathogenic TTR variants but no overt disease, surveillance is the current standard. However, Masri introduces the ACT Early trial, which will test whether early treatment with acoramidis can prevent the onset of clinical disease in high-risk individuals, potentially reshaping the paradigm of ATTR-CM care. Relevant disclosures for Vaduganathan include Amgen, AstraZeneca, Bayer AG, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Cytokinetics, Lexicon, and others. Relevant disclosures for Greene include Amgen, AstraZeneca, Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Cytokinetics, and others.

When people concerned with the future of the Palestinian people talk about the future, they often say, hopefully, that change will come only once we can replace Hamas and other terror groups with entrepreneurial technocrats more interested in building projects than in starting wars. They're talking, in short, about men like Bashar Masri, a Palestinian-American mogul who developed some of the best known and most lucrative real estate projects in Gaza, including luxury hotels and thriving industrial zones. But as a new bombshell lawsuit argues, Masri's properties were all used as launching pads for Hamas attacks, including on October 7, 2023, and Masri himself knowingly collaborated with individuals closely tied to the terror group. Gary Osen, one of the attorneys representing October 7 victims in the lawsuit, joins Liel to talk about how Hamas's terror infrastructure dominates everything in Gaza, and about how the UN and other international aid groups gave millions to support projects that did little more than give terrorists better cover.

Episode Highlight: On this episode of the "Embracing Only" podcast, we hear from Amal Masri diving into how women of color can thrive in the workplace in spite of the broken rung—the very first step on the career ladder, that promotion from entry-level to manager.    Amal is the visionary force behind Fix the Broken Rung which is on a mission to get one million women of color promoted. Learn more about the mental calculus that women of color need to do to merely exist across intersections, the systemic barriers women of color face in climbing the corporate ladder, and some actionable strategies for overcoming these barriers.   Amal has over 15 years of experience in financial services and a deep commitment to diversity and inclusion. She launched Fix the Broken Rung to address the barriers women of color and immigrants face in advancing to leadership roles. Her initiative is empowering women to break through these obstacles. She's trained over 750  leaders across 10 industries and her expertise is widely published and sought after   Key Discussion Points: 02:50 The Broken Rung: The lack of women in leadership roles is less about the glass ceiling and more because of the broken rung - the very first step on the career ladder in the promotion from entry-level to manager. 04:23 Challenges Women of Color Face as They Gain Power: As women rise on the career ladder, they face higher levels of scrutiny, microaggressions, and social exclusion. Awareness is the first step to addressing this problem. 12:13 Finding Your Agency as a Woman of Color: You always have some degree of agency in any situation and there have never been as many resources and opportunities available for women of color as there are now. 16:36 The Truth About Breaking Barriers: When you break barriers, there is breaking involved and you will get hurt in some way. It is critical to calculate the ROI of the wall you're breaking through. 20:38 Making Strategic Career Advancements: If you don't have much influence in your organization, you are unlikely to be successful in making change. Your energy may be better spent focusing on yourself until you reach a greater position of power. 32:54 Understanding Your Value: In a misogynistic and racist system, accurately seeing your value will feel like audacity. 39:16 Writing Your Own Narrative: If you don't take the time and initiative to write your narrative to position it for your own success, someone else will do it for you and it will not be in your favor.   In Summary: Amal Masri challenges us to take agency for our own journey and be audacious in how much value we place on ourselves. She urges us to get strategic in the workplace and determine what is worth fighting for.   Resources from this episode: Follow Amal on Linkedin or check out her website.   Connect with your hosts: Follow Archita on Linkedin or check out her website.

The Biden administration has denounced ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan for seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Ismael Haniyeh, and Mohammed Diab Ibrahim al-Masri. Middle East analyst Assal Rad underscores the U.S. government's complicity in Israeli war crimes in Gaza by arming Israel despite numerous ICJ rulings calling for Netanyahu's government to adhere to its commitments under the Genocide Convention, and most recently, to immediately halt its operation in Rafah. She also discusses the potential implications of the recent deaths of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.

Helping Muslims Find and Follow Jesus Moving to a new place can be difficult, especially if you don't know anyone in your new community. Muslims from across the world have moved to America for work or school yet they are often ignored by those around them—even Christians. Fouad Masri, president of the Crescent Project, says our job as believers is not to convert anyone, but to shine the light of Jesus and rely on him to draw our Muslim friends to himself. Masri is the author of a new book, Sharing Jesus with Muslims: A Step-By-Step Guide (affiliate link). Listen in as he talks about conversational apologetics, thought-provoking questions to ask a Muslim friend, and myths still circulating within the Muslim world about the Christian faith. You'll also hear Fouad's joy as he shares about his ministry and stories of Muslims coming to Christ. With over 30 years of sharing the gospel with Muslims, Fouad reminds us we are not called to bring anything new, but to pray for sincere hearts ready to receive the gospel. He emphasizes that we should pray for the leading of the Holy Spirit to help answer Muslims who are seeking spiritual truth, and to ask questions that provoke self-examination.

In E260, Georges El Masri's been making some serious moves – he's skillfully transformed an 11-unit building into 13 units right in Brantford, and he's pushing the envelope with townhouse expansions in Welland, Ontario. What's really impressive is Giorgio's methodical, emotion-free approach to navigating the tricky waters of Ontario's real estate, particularly in dealing with landlord-tenant dynamics. His achievements in this complex market stand out, and he's got some solid pointers for newcomers. This episode isn't just about deep dives into the Ontario real estate scene; it's a real source of motivation for investors at all stages.

Tales from the Heart host Lisa Salberg and guest Dr. Admad Masri of Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) discuss what you should be planning this year for your HCM care.   This conversation was recorded Jan. 12, 2024.

This is a slightly edited audio version of one of the MAKC livestreams we've hosted on our new Youtube channel. We will continue to polish the audio versions of those livestreams and release them as episodes here as well. Due to the amount of labor that goes into making them viable audio podcast episodes there will be a little bit of a delay on that. In the meantime I of course encourage folks to check them out on our YouTube channel and we will play with ways to get audio versions, perhaps even unedited audio versions to our patreons in a more timely manner. Please bear with us as we attempt to meet the importance of this moment with the livestreams and balance that with maintaining the catalogue for our podcast.  I will just note that prior to October 7th we already had 12 episodes of unreleased audio episodes so we will begin to get back to releasing some of those starting next week as well. As far as the livestreams the next one which we will release a properly edited audio version of will be our conversation with Fred Moten, which you can currently watch on Youtube. This conversation is an episode we recorded with the creators of Decolonize Palestine, Rawan Masri and Fathi Nemer from Ramallah in the West Bank. This conversation was recorded on October 19th so any description of current events or predictions made must be understood from that moment in time. It is our duty to continue to resist the genocidal onslaught that the United States and Israel have unleashed upon the Palestinian people, in particular the people of Gaza. I will be in DC tomorrow for the national march, which is a small act, but I look forward to being in the streets with hundreds of thousands of you tomorrow.  We will include links to many of the websites and groups they highlighted in the episode. In some cases they were responding to questions posed by folks in the chat so to that full experience you can watch this stream on YouTube. Another note you can now become a member of our Youtube channel. This will have some perks, basically very similar to being a patron of the podcast. Also we are in the process of finalizing our next study group and will have details on that for Youtube members or for patrons of the show very soon. You can become a patron of the show for as little as $1 a month at patreon.com/millennialsarekillingcapitalism On a more urgent note, there are many ways mentioned in this episode which you can also support Palestinians directly in this time from a humanitarian perspective. In these times of severe crisis caused by the US government and western support for Israeli settler colonialism and its genocidal expressions, there are urgent needs there and there are links where people can support those efforts. See below: Medical Aid for Palestinians Palestine Children's Relief Fund Adalah Articles: "'Operation Al Aqsa Flood' was an act of decolonization" by Rawan Masri (we discuss this piece in the beginning of the episode). This was released after our episode, but expands on themes Fathi touches on in the discussion: "The world would rather show solidarity with our corpses than honor our resistance" - Fathi Nemer Decolonize Palestine & other political education materials: Decolonize Palestine Decolonize Palestine Myth Database Support Decolonize Palestine https://www.1948movie.com Institute for Palestine Studies Palestine Film Institute  Discusses martyr Heba Zagout (mentioned the podcast) Palestine Action US Launches to join global campaign to Shut Elbit Down - YouTube episode    

Join us for a compelling discussion on the Israel-Hamas conflict with Fouad Masri, founder of Crescent Project. Growing up during the Israeli-Arab conflict, Fouad carried a burden of deep-seated hatred towards Palestinians, Israelis, and those perpetuating violence. Yet, he found a way to navigate these challenging emotions and mental struggles. Tune in to hear how Fouad not only survived but managed to transform his perspective and foster understanding.  Learn about and contact Fouadhttps://fouadmasri.com/ Sharing Jesus with Muslims by Fouad Masrihttps://rb.gy/2nmea Since September 11th, 2001, relationships between Christians and Muslims have been defined by fear. Increasing violence in the Middle East has caused Islam to be associated with persecution and terrorism and has led many Christians to view Muslims as the enemy. But the Bible provides clear instruction to move past fear and share the Gospel with all peoples, including Muslims. Every Christian can be an ambassador of Christ to Muslims, even without becoming an expert on Islam.  In Sharing Jesus with Muslims, Fouad Masri encourages Christians to set aside fear, excuses, and differences and share the good news of Jesus. Rich with stories and conversation starters, the book gives readers tangible and respectful ways to initiate friendships and minister to the felt needs of Muslims.  Sharing Jesus with Muslims serves as a step-by-step guide for effective witnessing, and includes: Conversation starters Insight into Muslim culture, including do's and don'ts Biblical responses to issues relevant to Islam Stories with practical application from Masri's forty years of ministry to Muslims Discipleship materials for ministering to Muslims Void of judgement or guilt trips, pastors, ministry leaders, and everyday Christians will find their relationships with Muslims enhanced by the principles in this book. Pick up Sharing Jesus with Muslims and discover the joy of serving and relating to Muslims.  ABOUT PAUL CARDALL http://www.paulcardall.com  Paul Cardall is a Dove Award-winning musician, composer, and producer with a musical journey that has touched the hearts of many.

Jesus is building his church among former Muslims—including inside hostile and restricted nations where Christian persecution is common and among Muslims living in the United States and other nations with more religious freedom.

How can I share Christ with Muslims when I don't know more about Islam? What if I can't answer all their questions? What can I do to overcome my fear of sharing the gospel? Fouad Masri, founder and president of Crescent Project, answers these questions and more in his new book Sharing Jesus with Muslims: A Step-By-Step Guide (affiliate link). For more than 30 years, Masri has been training Christians how to share Jesus with Muslims. He says Muslims are more open today than ever to hearing the gospel, and many are actively searching for Christian books or information online. Yet many Christians are still fearful to reach out to Muslims. Fouad says his goal is to move believers from fear and fascination to compassion, and it is that passion that led to this new book. Fouad encourages us to pray for God to open the door for friendships and conversation with the Muslims we meet in our work, school or community. He says one of the first challenges is to learn to listen. Listen to what our Muslim friends are telling us and listen for God to open the door for a spiritual conversation. Listen as Fouad shares an example from his own life when he really didn't want to have a deep conversation but realized the Lord had already been at work preparing his new friend to hear the gospel. He will also discuss Christian persecution of Muslim-background believers in the context of western nations. Do MBB's face pressure and persecution in the United States as they do in Middle Eastern nations like Egypt, Saudi Arabia or Yemen? Pray the openness of Muslims right now will result in a great harvest of people coming to know Christ in a personal way. If you want to learn more about sharing your faith with Muslims, Crescent Project's Sahara Challenge provides an in-depth training on how to serve unreached Muslims locally and globally. The event is offered in-person from May 1st-3rd in Nashville or online from May 23rd-25th. Would you like to hear more about how God is working in the Muslim world? You'll be encouraged as you listen to more stories of Muslims who came to faith, like Rachid from Morocco, Al Fadi in Saudi Arabia, and Benesh in Iran. Never miss an episode of VOM Radio!
