Black patients dress up and modify speech to reduce bias, California survey shows

A young mother in California's Antelope Valley bathes her children and dresses them in neat clothes, making sure they look their very best — at medical appointments. "I brush their teeth before they see the dentist. Just little things like that to protect myself from being treated unfairly," she told researchers.

Newfound mechanism helps the heart to toggle between maintenance and energy-boost mode

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation in Barcelona have discovered a mechanism involving ribosomes which helps the heart toggle between a 'regular maintenance mode' for day-to-day function and an 'energy-boost mode' which aids recovery for high-demand situations including heart attacks.

A measure of residual inflammatory risk may be a powerful predictor of future cardiovascular events

New evidence released today from a study of 31,245 patients already taking statin therapy indicates that inflammation may be a more powerful predictor of risk of future cardiovascular events - such as heart attack and stroke - than "bad" cholesterol.

Most athletes with diagnosed and treated genetic heart disease experienced no cardiac events

Ninety-five percent of athletes with a diagnosed and treated genetic heart disease experienced no disease-triggered cardiac events, such as cardiogenic fainting or seizures, implantable cardio-defibrillator (ICD) shocks, sudden cardiac arrest or sudden cardiac death, during an average of seven years of follow up, according to a study being presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session Together With the World Congress of Cardiology.

Addition of sotatercept to existing therapy shows promise for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension

Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a severe, progressive condition that affects the heart and lungs, who were treated with the novel first-in-class medication sotatercept on top of existing therapy experienced significant improvements in walking distance via a six-minute walking test—the study's primary endpoint and a validated surrogate for functional improvement and reduced symptom burden.

Vigorous exercise does not increase risk of serious cardiac events in people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

People with the inherited heart condition hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) who exercised vigorously did not have an increased incidence of serious cardiac events during three years of follow-up compared with people who exercised moderately or were inactive, according to a study being presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session Together With the World Congress of Cardiology.
