This multicentre study reveals that combining resting left atrial compliance with exercise stress echocardiography significantly improves diagnostic accuracy for HFpEF, potentially reducing the need for invasive testing in patients with une
The PORTHOS study reveals a 16.5% prevalence of heart failure among Portuguese adults aged 50+, with HFpEF constituting over 90% of cases, mostly undiagnosed, highlighting the need for enhanced screening strategies in aging populations.
A novel left atrial (LA) staging system, integrating hemodynamic load and contractile function, predicts new-onset atrial fibrillation risk in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and may guide tailored AF surveillance.
Lactylation of HNRNPK at K405 links metabolic stress to inflammatory RNA splicing, promoting pathological Jag2 isoform expression and exacerbating myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, revealing novel therapeutic targets.
Rapid immunoassay-based classifiers accurately identify hyper- and hypoinflammatory subphenotypes in critically ill children, preserving prognostic and predictive utility and enabling precision therapies in acute pediatric cardiorespiratory
Initiation of menopausal hormone therapy during perimenopause or early postmenopause in women with vasomotor symptoms is associated with a reduced cardiovascular risk, especially among Black women and those starting therapy within 10 years
Comprehensive plasma proteomics reveal three molecular subtypes of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis linked to distinct prognoses and differential tafamidis treatment responses, highlighting personalized therapeutic opportunities.
This study reveals that immune checkpoint and VEGF inhibitors, alone or combined, do not induce detectable arterial inflammation by PET, suggesting macrophage-driven plaque activation is not the main cause of related atherothrombotic events
A nationwide Chinese study reveals that exposure to tropical cyclones increases acute coronary syndrome risk by 14%, delays treatment times, and disproportionately affects vulnerable populations. Coordinated public health and clinical strat
A prospective study reveals that ultra-rare cardiomyopathy gene variants significantly increase risk for early heart failure in infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, highlighting potential for genetic risk stratification and precisi
The 2024 update of the Clinical Genome Resource elucidates a rapidly expanding genetic landscape for dilated cardiomyopathy, enhancing clinical genetic interpretation with 35 genes classified as high evidence, including nine novel discoveri
This study analyzes global trends comparing ischemic stroke burdens linked to diabetes and atrial fibrillation, revealing a rising impact of diabetes-related stroke and highlighting the need for targeted interventions.
This review synthesizes evidence linking aspirin use to reduced risk of calcific aortic valve disease in persons with elevated lipoprotein(a), highlighting the potential for targeted preventive strategies.
The LIFE-Preserved model accurately predicts short-term and lifetime risks of heart failure hospitalization or cardiovascular death in HFpEF patients, enabling tailored clinical risk stratification and improved management.
Chronic exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is linked to epicardial coronary endothelial dysfunction, an early marker of coronary artery disease, as demonstrated by invasive coronary vasoreactivity testing.
The FAVOR III China trial demonstrates that QFR-guided percutaneous coronary intervention significantly reduces major adverse cardiac events over 5 years, mainly by decreasing myocardial infarction and ischemia-driven revascularization comp
Integration of late gadolinium enhancement corridors and high-risk genotypes markedly improves ventricular arrhythmic risk prediction beyond traditional ejection fraction metrics in nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.
Macrotroponin complexes commonly cause discordant cardiac troponin elevations in the general population, notably troponin I, without conferring increased cardiovascular risk, underscoring the need to recognize assay interference for accurat
A newly developed clinical likelihood score accurately distinguishes pulmonary arterial hypertension patients with venous or capillary involvement (PVOD/PCH), enabling earlier diagnosis, tailored therapy, and timely transplant referral.
This Finnish nationwide study demonstrates that patients with atrial flutter have a substantially lower risk of ischaemic stroke compared to those with atrial fibrillation, highlighting important differences in thromboembolic risk profiles
