Artificial intelligence offers individualized anticoagulation decisions for atrial fibrillation

Mount Sinai researchers developed an AI model to make individualized treatment recommendations for atrial fibrillation (AF) patients-helping clinicians accurately decide whether or not to treat them with anticoagulants (blood thinner medications) to prevent stroke, which is currently the standard treatment course in this patient population.

Dual antiplatelet therapy after heart bypass surgery offers no added benefit over aspirin alone

Dual antiplatelet therapy after heart bypass surgery is not more effective than aspirin alone - and it increases the risk of excessive bleeding. This has now been shown in a study of 2,201 patients at 22 Nordic heart surgery units.

Select groups of myocardial infarction patients benefit from Helicobacter pylori screening

Not all acute myocardial infarction patients should be offered routine screening for the stomach ulcer bacterium Helicobacter pylori.

Heart failure hospitalization occurs earlier in Black and Hispanic adults than white patients

Black adults in the U.S. are first hospitalized for heart failure nearly 14 years earlier than white adults, reports a Northwestern Medicine study that analyzed data from more than 42,000 patients across hundreds of hospitals nationwide.

Can honey protect your brain? Study reviews its potential against Alzheimer's

This review examined 27 preclinical studies on honey and Alzheimer’s disease, showing honey’s bioactive compounds counter oxidative stress, inflammation, and amyloid buildup. Despite promising lab results, no human trials exist, underscoring the need for clinical research.

Why metformin could protect the brain by rewiring mitochondria

Metformin boosts human oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination across stem-cell, organoid, and chimera models. The study links these effects to mitochondrial metabolic shifts, supporting its potential as a therapy for multiple sclerosis.

How a Mediterranean diet helps women manage menopausal symptoms

A cross-sectional study of 149 postmenopausal women found that greater adherence to a modified Mediterranean diet was linked to lower odds of moderate to severe hot flashes and sexual symptoms. While psychological and physical domains showed no significant association, the results support further evaluation of diet as a non-hormonal strategy for menopausal care.

Cancer-related nerve injury triggers inflammation and immunotherapy resistance

Cancer cells can break down the protective covers around nerves, causing nerve injury that triggers chronic inflammation leading to immune exhaustion and eventual resistance to immunotherapy, according to new research from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Study provides evidence for a causal genetic link between prostate cancer and urothelial carcinoma

Prostate cancer is among the most common cancers in men and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. With improved detection and therapies, survival rates have risen, but this progress comes with a new concern: the risk of secondary primary malignancies.

KRISS develops ultra-sensitive platform to detect Alzheimer’s biomarkers in body fluids

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS, President Lee Ho Seong) has developed a diagnostic platform that amplifies the unique optical signals of molecules by more than a hundred million times, enabling the precise detection and quantification of trace amounts of Alzheimer's disease biomarkers in body fluids.

$New hypothesis links internal fat biology to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction$

New hypothesis links internal fat biology to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) appears to develop as a result of changes in the biology of a person's internal fat tissue, according to the Adipokine Hypothesis, a new way of understanding how fat may impact the heart.

In-hospital start of dapagliflozin shows no significant short-term benefit in heart failure patients

In-hospital initiation of dapagliflozin did not significantly reduce the short-term risk of cardiovascular death or worsening heart failure (HF) in patients admitted for HF, although positive effects were seen when combining trial data, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2025.

Aficamten outperforms beta-blockers in treating patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Aficamten treatment was associated with significant improvements in exercise capacity and symptoms compared with metoprolol in patients with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2025 and simultaneously published in New England Journal of Medicine.

Shorter dual antiplatelet therapy may offer safety benefits in myocardial infarction patients

Three months of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) was associated with signals suggesting improved survival and lower bleeding risk than 12 months of DAPT, in a real-world all-comer population of patients with myocardial infarction (MI), according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2025.

Adding aspirin raises cardiovascular events in high-risk CCS patients on anticoagulants

Adding aspirin increased the risk of cardiovascular events, death and major bleeding in high-risk patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) who had prior stenting and were receiving long-term chronic oral anticoagulation (OAC), according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2025 and simultaneously published in New England Journal of Medicine.
