This large-scale study links specific PM2.5 components, especially chloride, black carbon, and sulfate, to increased long-term cardiovascular disease risk, emphasizing targeted pollution control for better heart health.
This sham-controlled trial demonstrates that pulsed field ablation significantly reduces atrial fibrillation recurrence, burden, and improves quality of life and psychological distress compared to sham treatment.
The left atrial to ventricular volume ratio (LA:LV ratio) emerges as a superior marker over left atrial volume index (LAVi) for atrial cardiopathy, showing stronger association with ischemic stroke risk, cognitive decline, and atrial fibril
The MAPLE-HCM trial demonstrates aficamten monotherapy significantly outperforms metoprolol in improving exercise capacity, hemodynamics, and patient-reported outcomes in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM), supporting aficamten
The FOREST-HCM long-term study confirms aficamten’s efficacy and safety in reducing left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and improving symptoms in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy over nearly one year of treatment.
This study demonstrates that septal myectomy combined with cutting of secondary mitral valve chordae delivers excellent long-term survival and symptom relief in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients unresponsive to medical therap
Elevated lipoprotein(a) increases coronary artery disease risk, but this study reveals that inflammation—particularly IL-6 levels—modulates this risk, highlighting the importance of inflammatory biomarkers in cardiovascular risk assessment
The PREVUE-VALVE study reveals a significant prevalence of moderate or greater valvular heart disease among U.S. adults aged 65-85, highlighting substantial public health implications and the value of decentralized echocardiographic screeni
Genetic variants enriched in individuals of African ancestry confer increased risk of cardiomyopathy and arrhythmias, with cardiovascular risk factors amplifying this risk. Large biobank studies enable reclassification of key variants and h
This study assesses the accuracy of emergency physician-interpreted point-of-care ultrasound compared to cardiologist-interpreted consultative echocardiography for detecting right ventricular dysfunction in emergency patients with pulmonary
A multicomponent stewardship intervention significantly reduced inappropriate antiplatelet prescription among patients on DOACs, decreasing bleeding risk, particularly in stable coronary artery disease.
Latent class analysis of 889 adult PAH-CHD patients identified unique phenogroups with distinct survival outcomes and treatment responses, offering refined risk stratification and guiding personalized therapy.
Elevated parathyroid hormone at the high-normal range independently predicts greater cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, with marked sex and age disparities in a large middle-aged Brazilian cohort.
The OPTN’s new status escalation policy for stable adult heart transplant candidates with durable LVADs may benefit only a small fraction of patients, as most experience complications or transplant within six years.
An evidence-based review of the 7-year durability of transcatheter versus surgical aortic bioprosthetic valves in low-risk severe aortic stenosis patients, highlighting comparable long-term structural performance and need for reintervention
This review synthesizes evidence on the prevalence, incidence, and prognosis of cancer and heart failure comorbidity in Scotland, integrating recent cohort data and cardio-oncology research to inform clinical practice and future research di
The Ross procedure in adults demonstrates excellent long-term survival, valve durability, and low reintervention rates, supporting its broader use in selected patients at experienced centers.
This prospective cohort study investigates how fructose-containing beverages and foods, including sugar-sweetened beverages, fruit juices, and whole fruits, consumed from childhood through adulthood influence hypertension risk, highlighting
Unclassified pulmonary hypertension often reflects early-stage HFpEF linked to left heart and metabolic dysfunction, identifiable via dynamic right heart catheterization and metabolomics.
This study reveals that sudden death in heart failure patients often follows gradual clinical decline, challenging the notion that such deaths are always abrupt.
