New initiative aims to accelerate aortic stenosis diagnosis and treatment

People living with aortic stenosis (AS) could gain earlier access to innovative care and treatment thanks to a new effort from the American Heart Association designed to boost clinical trial participation and speed diagnosis of this common but underdiagnosed heart valve condition.

Swapping meat for plant-based options cuts fat but lowers protein, study finds

Replacing meat with plant-based or mycoprotein alternatives in UK diets lowers saturated fat and boosts fiber but reduces protein intake, especially for teens and older adults. The overall saturated fat reduction is too small to meaningfully affect cholesterol levels, researchers report in npj Science of Food.

New study finds no increased risk of heart and brain infarctions for transgender women

Contrary to previous research, transgender women who use the hormone oestradiol for their transition do not have an increased risk of heart attack and stroke compared to men in the general Dutch population.

New WashU center aims to transform disease diagnosis through AI imaging

Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology (MIR) at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis is establishing a new center dedicated to developing AI-based imaging tools to improve the diagnosis and precision treatment of cancers, cardiovascular disease, neurological diseases and numerous other conditions.

Heated tobacco and cigarettes cause the same gut and vascular damage, study finds

Italian researchers found that both heated tobacco products (HTPs) and conventional cigarettes trigger oxidative stress, endotoxemia, and gut barrier disruption in adults and children. The findings challenge the perception that HTPs are a safer alternative to smoking.

Fewer women participate in cardiac rehabilitation, despite a slew of benefits

For someone who has heart surgery or experiences a major cardiovascular event, cardiac rehabilitation can significantly improve their short and long term recovery.

Atrial dysfunction assessment tool may help identify stroke risk in people with ATTR-CM

A hidden atrial dysfunction may raise stroke risk in people with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM); however, a non-invasive assessment tool may help identify those at increased risk, according to a preliminary study to be presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2025.

Combined analysis of three blood tests enhances heart attack risk prediction

A combined analysis of blood tests to measure three biomarkers linked to higher risk of cardiovascular disease-lipoprotein a (Lp(a)), remnant cholesterol and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP)-may help identify high-risk individuals earlier and guide more personalized prevention strategies, according to a preliminary study to be presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2025.

AI algorithm paired with ECG sensors can accurately detect structural heart diseases

An artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm paired with the single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors on a smartwatch accurately diagnosed structural heart diseases, such as weakened pumping ability, damaged valves or thickened heart muscle, according to a preliminary study to be presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2025.

Quick bystander CPR improves survival odds in children after cardiac arrest

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed within five minutes of a child's heart stopping nearly doubled their chances of survival, according to preliminary research to be presented at the American Heart Association's Resuscitation Science Symposium 2025.

Low-dose aspirin helps reduce the incidence of major cardiovascular event among diabetic individuals

People with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and an elevated risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) who took low-dose aspirin were less likely to experience a major cardiovascular event, including heart attack, stroke or death, than people with T2D at similar CVD risk who did not take low-dose aspirin, according to a preliminary study to be presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2025.

3 Nov 2025

Long-term use of melatonin supplements linked to higher risk of heart failure and death

Long-term use of melatonin supplements, often used to promote sleep and address insomnia, was associated with a higher risk of heart failure diagnosis, heart failure hospitalization and death from any cause in chronic insomnia, according to a preliminary study to be presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2025.

3 Nov 2025

Healthy lifestyle habits plus GLP-1 RA drugs can improve heart health of people with Type 2 diabetes

People with Type 2 diabetes who combined healthy lifestyle habits with GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) medications had a greater reduction in risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, including heart attack, stroke or cardiovascular disease death, compared to people only taking the medication, according to a preliminary study to be presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2025.

Research shows citrus and grape compounds may protect against type 2 diabetes

A six-month clinical trial found that a supplement combining citrus and grape extracts, hesperidin, and chromium significantly reduced fasting blood glucose in prediabetic adults. Participants also saw improved cholesterol and triglyceride levels, returning many to normal metabolic health.
