Daily, 20-minute, brisk walk is key to optimal cardiovascular health

Hearts are kept strong with regular physical activity, and daily activity such as a daily, 20-minute, brisk walk is key; however, some groups may have additional barriers that affect whether or not a daily walk is feasible.

Transcatheter edge-to-edge procedure to repair leaky mitral valves found to be safe and effective

Long-awaited outcomes data of transcatheter edge-to-edge procedures to repair patients' leaky mitral valves revealed the minimally invasive procedure to be safe and effective in nearly 90% of patients, according to Cedars-Sinai physician-scientists.

High HDL-C levels and cardiovascular risks - what you need to know!

Research paper investigates the relationship between very high levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and cardiovascular outcomes in the general population. The study reveals that while men with high HDL-C face an increased risk of all-cause death and cardiovascular death, this association is not observed in women without coronary artery disease.

Air pollution may increase risk of death in heart failure patients

Heart failure patients are at increased risk of dying from their condition on polluted days and up to two days afterwards, according to research presented today at Heart Failure 2023, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology.

Amyloid-removing drug shows promise for the treatment of stiff-heart syndrome

Transthyretin-related cardiac amyloidosis is a progressive disease characterized by the deposition of amyloid protein fibrils in the heart. Amyloid fibril deposition thickens and stiffens the heart walls, and the disease is also known as stiff-heart syndrome.

Study shows potential benefit of sacubitril/valsartan in heart failure patients with EF over 40%

Sacubitril/valsartan leads to greater reduction in plasma NT-proBNP levels compared to valsartan alone after stabilization for worsening heart failure in patients with an ejection fraction (EF) above 40%, according to late breaking science presented today at Heart Failure 2023, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), and published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
