A 10-year Medicare study reveals women face higher immediate risks during TAVI procedures but demonstrate better long-term survival than men, despite declining representation in treatment.
This review synthesizes the TAILORED-CHIP trial results with recent evidence on antiplatelet modulation, highlighting the challenges of balancing ischemic and bleeding risks in high-risk PCI populations.
In suspected myocardial infarction, hs-cTnT-gen6 showed diagnostic accuracy comparable to gen5, produced fewer myocardial injury classifications, and supported highly sensitive ESC 0/1-hour and 0/2-hour rule-out and rule-in pathways using a
ORBITA-FIRE study reveals personalized physiological thresholds for angina that are lower than current diagnostic standards. These thresholds vary during exercise and predict PCI treatment success, challenging universal ischemia-based guide
This review synthesizes recent evidence comparing ‘mothership’ and ‘drip-and-ship’ strategies in acute ischemic stroke, highlighting functional benefits of direct transport and the critical 43-minute delay threshold.
An ex vivo human skeletal muscle study suggests that myosin ATPase inhibition with mavacamten normalizes excessive resting ATP consumption in HFrEF myofibres, identifying a mechanistically novel strategy to address peripheral metabolic inef
In Kenyan outpatient clinics, an AI-enabled ECG algorithm showed strong discrimination for left ventricular systolic dysfunction, with 95.6% sensitivity and 99.1% negative predictive value against echocardiography.
In Medicare patients undergoing femoropopliteal revascularization, drug-coated devices were not associated with higher long-term mortality, supporting the safety of paclitaxel-coated technology after years of regulatory concern.
In a prospective multicenter evaluation, the EXCOR Active Driver supported pediatric VAD care with no major device malfunctions and excellent short-term survival, while addressing a major unmet need in mobility and day-to-day function.
This review explores how PRMT9-mediated symmetric dimethylation of STAT1 serves as a critical check on proinflammatory macrophage activation, offering a novel therapeutic target for mitigating cardiac injury following myocardial infarction.
In a multicenter retrospective study, early mechanical thrombectomy within 12 hours of pulmonary embolism diagnosis improved pulmonary artery pressure reduction and reduced intubation, but did not significantly lower in-hospital mortality.
In PoPH, PAH-specific therapy did not worsen oxygenation overall, although responses varied widely. Hemodynamic changes influenced gas exchange, and some patients developed new intrapulmonary vascular dilatations during follow-up.
In a pooled nonrandomized phase 3 analysis, monthly lerodalcibep reduced LDL-C by about 50% in heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, with similar efficacy across LDLR functional variant categories and broad attainment of guideline-bas
Researchers developed and validated integrated polygenic risk scores for eight cardiovascular conditions using data from over 245,000 individuals. These scores demonstrated strong predictive power and improved risk classification, providing
New research comparing diabetes medications reveals GLP-1 receptor agonists lower heart failure hospitalization risk compared to DPP-4 inhibitors, while showing similar risk to SGLT-2 inhibitors in type 2 diabetes patients.
In ARIC, ischemic stroke at age 80 years or older was more often embolic than thrombotic. Atrial fibrillation and left atrial disease explained much of the age effect, and adding embolic factors improved prediction.
In Medicare beneficiaries, ATTR-CM was diagnosed a median 494 days after heart failure and 840 days after loop diuretic initiation, with delays more common in women and patients with several common comorbidities.
In a patient-level meta-analysis of 10,212 Asian and 61,471 non-Asian AF patients, standard-dose DOACs outperformed warfarin more strongly in Asians, with less stroke, major bleeding, and net clinical harm. Standard-dose therapy was favored
In nine U.S. coronary stent PMA trials, minority participants were markedly underrepresented, while women were modestly underrepresented. Site geography and surrounding county demographics predicted minority enrollment, suggesting targeted
The REPRIEVE trial reveals higher heart failure incidence in people with HIV, particularly among women, Black participants in high-income regions, and those with hypertension or obesity. Traditional risk factors, not HIV-specific markers, w
