Machine learning algorithm flags unruptured cerebral aneurysms missed in routine clinical care

Unruptured cerebral aneurysms of sizes and locations that require attention may be frequently missed in routine clinical care, but a machine learning algorithm could minimize missed care opportunities, according to a new study from UTHealth Houston.

CPAP use reduces risk of death from cardiovascular disease in sleep apnea patients

People suffering with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) can reduce their risk of dying from cardiovascular disease if they use a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine at night, according to research presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress in Milan, Italy.

Controlling traditional cardiovascular risk factors can prevent Alzheimer's and other dementias

Cardiovascular disease and dementia frequently occur together in elderly people. Nevertheless, few longitudinal studies have examined how atherosclerosis and its associated risk factors affect brain health from middle age.

Engineered ACE2 decoy shows promise as COVID-19 treatment

Researchers from Japan demonstrated that an engineered angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, which showed the potential to remarkably reduce the emergence of resistant virus strains, could successfully exert its therapeutic effect in primates, which may open avenues for the application of the technology for the treatment of humans.

OCT-guided PCI does not reduce target vessel failure in complex patients, but improves safety

Optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) leads to a larger minimum stent area but does not reduce the two-year rate of target vessel failure compared with angiography-guided PCI, according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2023.

Patients with heart conditions should practice good hygiene to prevent infective endocarditis

Patients with specific cardiac conditions such as valvular heart disease and congenital abnormalities, or those requiring a pacemaker, should practice good dental and skin hygiene to help prevent rare but potentially deadly infections of the heart's inner lining and valves, according to European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Guidelines on infective endocarditis, published online today in European Heart Journal.
