Expedited discharge (≤4 days) following isolated coronary artery bypass grafting is linked to shorter hospital stays, lower costs, and reduced 30-day readmissions without increased mortality or major complications, supporting selective impl
This study elucidates how uterine artery Doppler at 35-36 weeks reflects placental angiogenic imbalance and hemodynamic dysfunction in preeclampsia, underscoring its biological relevance beyond early pregnancy screening.
This pilot randomized trial demonstrates the feasibility of using low-dose colchicine after acute intracerebral hemorrhage to prevent vascular events, highlighting considerations for future larger studies regarding recruitment, adherence, a
In a nationwide case-control study, adults with congenital heart disease had similar 1-year mortality and recurrent heart attack rates after a first acute myocardial infarction as matched controls. A higher 10-year mortality estimate did not persist after adjustment, supporting aggressive cardiovascular risk-factor management.
This meta-analysis of four placebo-controlled trials reveals no significant difference in the efficacy and safety of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists between Black and non-Black patients with heart failure, regardless of heart failure
Highlight Deep learning applied to 12-lead ECG signals enables estimation of 10-year ischemic stroke risk with moderate discrimination and good calibr
Highlight This unprecedented large-scale multinational study developed a semisupervised contrastive machine learning framework that generates a global
Registry-based randomised controlled trials (RRCTs) offer promising efficiencies and external validity over traditional RCTs, yet lack consistent definitions and registration standards. A proposed taxonomy and adherence to CONSORT-ROUTINE a
This review synthesizes contemporary evidence on the survival impact of adding defibrillators to CRT in nonischemic cardiomyopathy, highlighting heterogeneous results including the DECIDE-CRT study and underscoring the need for personalized
A large Chinese cohort study reveals a U-shaped association between left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and mortality in heart failure, highlighting both small and large ventricular sizes as independent risk factors.
This propensity-matched study shows that in patients undergoing tricuspid TEER for severe TR, untreated moderate MR is linked to worse survival, while combined mitral and tricuspid TEER improves mortality and functional outcomes, highlighti
In low-risk severe aortic stenosis patients, both TAVR and SAVR provide sustained health status improvements over seven years, with TAVR offering faster early recovery but similar long-term health outcomes.
This study reveals that left ventricular hypertrabeculation, common in dilated cardiomyopathy, does not increase embolic risk or adverse outcomes, challenging previous concerns and guiding clinical management.
A race-free adaptation of the MESA risk score estimates 10-year coronary heart disease risk with comparable accuracy to the original, challenging the necessity of including race/ethnicity in cardiovascular risk prediction.
A multicenter study reveals that preserving donor hearts at 10°C results in better early graft function and one-year survival than traditional 4-8°C storage, suggesting a new standard for heart transplant preservation.
The 2026 ESC clinical consensus outlines creation of multidisciplinary Women’s Heart Centres to close gaps in diagnosis, management, and research for women’s cardiovascular disease across the life course.
This substudy of the CHIP-BCIS3 trial assessed the effects of elective left ventricular unloading via microaxial flow pump during complex PCI, finding reduced inotrope use but no significant hemodynamic or myocardial stunning benefits.
This study evaluates the incidence, severity, and predictors of extracranial bleeding in atrial fibrillation patients on oral anticoagulants, highlighting its substantial burden beyond major bleeds and informing bleeding risk management.
In patients with OSA and elevated blood pressure, comorbid insomnia is linked to a significantly greater blood pressure reduction following short-term CPAP therapy, highlighting the clinical importance of addressing both sleep disorders.
This study reveals that higher parity is associated with subtle reductions in myocardial strain during pregnancy, suggesting cumulative cardiovascular effects despite normal ejection fraction.
