Palliative care for cardiovascular conditions may help relieve symptoms and improve quality of life

Palliative care may help relieve symptoms and improve quality of life for people with cardiovascular disease and ensure that treatment is aligned with the patient's personal beliefs and values throughout all stages of illness, whether they are hospitalized in a cardiac intensive care unit or receiving outpatient care, according to a new American Heart Association scientific statement published today in the Association's flagship, peer-reviewed journal Circulation.

Sleep deprivation increases inflammation linked to heart disease risk

Even a few nights with insufficient sleep increases promote molecular mechanisms linked to a greater risk of heart problems.

Hidden heart and lung damage detected in patients with long COVID

Patients suffering from long COVID may exhibit persistent inflammation in the heart and lungs for up to a year following SARS-CoV-2 infection-even when standard medical tests return normal results-potentially placing them at elevated risk for future cardiac and pulmonary conditions.

Cardiovascular mortality higher in women with rheumatoid arthritis and lupus

Women with the autoimmune diseases rheumatoid arthritis, lupus or systemic sclerosis may have a higher rate of death related to cardiovascular disease than men with the autoimmune diseases, according to new research published in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes.

Stenting improves long term outcomes in CTO PCI patients

In patients undergoing chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), stenting demonstrated improved long-term survival and fewer cardiac arrests at one year.

Single antiplatelet therapy after TAVR linked to lower mortality and bleeding

Findings from the Transfusion Requirements in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TRITAVI) registry demonstrate that single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is associated with a significantly lower incidence of six-month mortality and major bleeding risk compared to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT).

Pecans lower cholesterol and improve diet quality in at-risk adults, study finds

Substituting 57 grams of pecans for usual snacks over 12 weeks improved lipid profiles and diet quality but did not affect vascular function in adults at cardiometabolic risk. A modest weight gain was also observed.

New blood test can improve heart disease risk prediction

For almost 60 years, measuring cholesterol levels in the blood has been the best way to identify individuals at high risk of cardiovascular disease.

Monoclonal antibody can effectively reverse bleeding complications linked to ticagrelor

An investigational monoclonal antibody called bentracimab can safely and effectively reverse potentially catastrophic bleeding complications linked to ticagrelor, a common drug used to treat patients with acute coronary syndromes, prior heart attack, stroke, and coronary artery disease.

New noninvasive method for early diabetes risk detection

The highs and lows of blood glucose aren't just an energy rollercoaster; they could be a key to detecting diabetes risk early and spare you a needle prick or two.

Redefining cardiovascular medicine through the lens of sncRNAs

In a transformative review, small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs) have emerged as pivotal regulators in the complex landscape of cardiovascular diseases.

Lack of ceramides in blood vessels could lead to obesity-related heart diseases

New research from Weill Cornell Medicine has uncovered a surprising culprit underlying cardiovascular diseases in obesity and diabetes-not the presence of certain fats, but their suppression.

High cholesterol may not signal heart disease risk in metabolically healthy people

The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, in collaboration with researchers across multiple institutions, has published a new study that challenges the long-held belief that high cholesterol correlates and even directly causes coronary artery disease, or plaque buildup in the arteries in metabolically healthy individuals.

Defibrillators and CPR cut marathon cardiac deaths in half, study shows

Researchers found that while the rate of cardiac arrests during U.S. marathons and half-marathons remained stable from 2010 to 2023, the likelihood of death from these events dropped by nearly half—thanks to faster emergency response and widespread use of defibrillators.

$Intravenous iron shows promise for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction$

Intravenous iron shows promise for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

Among iron-deficient patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), receiving intravenous iron supplementation was found to be safe but resulted in mixed findings, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session (ACC.25).

AI-based imaging performs equally well as ultrasound in guiding heart procedures

Patients with narrowing of at least 50% in three major coronary arteries did equally well when treated with a minimally invasive stent placement guided either by ultrasound-based imaging or by a novel, artificial-intelligence-powered (AI), non-invasive imaging technique derived from angiography, researchers reported at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session (ACC.25).

New trial shows oral semaglutide reduces cardiovascular events in diabetes patients

Both the injectable and oral forms of semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, have gained recent attention for their effectiveness against weight gain, high blood sugar, and even alcohol cravings.

31 Mar 2025

WARRIOR trial finds no impact of intensive therapy on heart events in women

An intensive three-drug regimen of heart medications did not significantly impact the rate of serious cardiovascular events at five years in women who experienced signs and symptoms of ischemia, or insufficient blood flow to the heart muscle, but had no blockages in their heart's arteries, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session.

29 Mar 2025

New evidence suggests HPV could increase risk of coronary artery disease

In addition to causing several types of cancer, human papillomavirus (HPV) appears to bring a significantly increased risk of heart disease and coronary artery disease, according to a study being presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session (ACC.25).
