Smoking cessation among cancer survivors linked to lower cardiovascular risk

Cancer patients who continue smoking after their diagnosis have a nearly doubled risk of heart attack, stroke or death due to cardiovascular disease compared with non-smokers, according to research published on World No Tobacco Day in European Heart Journal, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology.

Study identifies new genes associated with heart attack risk largely affecting younger women

Research led by the National Institute for Health and Care Research Leicester Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) and Universite Paris Cite, and supported by worldwide partners in Canada, the USA and Australia, has identified new genes that are associated with an increased risk of a type of heart attack primarily affecting young to middle-aged women.

Tumors in distant organs remotely reprogram the liver

Cancers often release molecules into the bloodstream that pathologically alter the liver, shifting it to an inflammatory state, causing fat buildup and impairing its normal detoxifying functions, according to a study from investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine.

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.

Heart transplants from COVID-19 donors: Mixed outcomes revealed in early analysis

In a recent study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, researchers investigated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-infected donor use, donor and recipient characteristics, and early post-heart transplantation (HT) outcomes in the United States (US).

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.

Study finds higher risk of mortality among women than men after heart attack

Women are more than twice as likely to die after a heart attack than men, 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.

Heart attack patients with strong legs less likely to develop heart failure

People with strong legs are less likely to develop heart failure after a heart attack, according to research presented today at Heart Failure 2023, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology.

Remote pulmonary artery pressure monitoring improves quality of life, reduces heart failure hospitalizations

The first investigator-initiated study of remote pulmonary artery pressure monitoring has found that it improves quality of life and reduces heart failure hospitalizations in patients with chronic heart failure.

HRS, APHRS, and LAHRS publish new clinical practice guideline on cardiac physiologic pacing

Today, the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS), Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS), and Latin American Heart Rhythm Society (LAHRS) released a new clinical practice guideline on cardiac physiologic pacing (CPP) strategies to restore ventricular synchrony and improve cardiac performance.

Cardiovascular risk score decreases after one year of semaglutide use in obese patients, study shows

New research presented at this year's European Congress on Obesity in Dublin, Ireland shows that patients treated with the obesity drug semaglutide have a decreased cardiovascular risk score after one year of use.

Study helps clarify the underlying cause of chest symptoms in angina

An intensive study into the treatment of angina has found that the use of tests for small blood vessel function in the heart clarify the underlying cause of the condition.

High-risk heart attack patients could benefit from a long-term treatment with blood thinners

A new study examining the criteria proposed by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) to prescribe long-term treatment with more than one blood thinner after percutaneous coronary intervention was presented today as late-breaking clinical research at the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) 2023 Scientific Sessions.
