Stem cell treatment reduced deaths related to cardiovascular issues, not hospitalization

Stem cell therapy helped to reduce the number of heart attacks, strokes and death among people with chronic, high-risk, NYHA class II or III heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), especially among those who have higher levels of inflammation, yet hospitalization was not reduced, according to late-breaking research presented today at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2021.

Valve replacement surgery may be beneficial for patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis

For people experiencing severe aortic stenosis who do not have symptoms or need symptom relief, early aortic valve replacement surgery may be beneficial because it reduces the risk of death, heart attack, stroke and heart failure, according to late-breaking research presented today at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2021.

Posterior left pericardiotomy linked to prevention of atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery

A simple surgical technique during cardiac surgery was associated with a 56 percent reduction in the incidence of an irregular heart rhythm known as atrial fibrillation that can lead to stroke, with no added risks or side effects, according to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian investigators.

Inflammatory chemicals involved in fat metabolism play key role in ALS, study shows

A new study using genetically engineered mice and human cell and tissue samples has added to evidence that higher levels of inflammatory chemicals involved in fat metabolism occur in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the neuromuscular disorder, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

Anti-platelet drug class fails to extend survival in moderately ill COVID-19 patients

A drug class that blocks the activity of blood platelets and prevents clotting—P2Y12 inhibitors—failed to extend survival or lessen disease severity in patients with COVID-19 who were hospitalized but had a relatively moderate case, a new study finds.
