Living in food deserts linked to higher stroke and death risk in atrial fibrillation patients

Patients with atrial fibrillation who live in neighborhoods with poor access to full-service grocery stores face sharply higher odds of stroke and death, according to a new study from Tulane University.

Study finds universal rise in cholesterol after menopause among Bolivian Tsimane women

Deep in the Bolivian Amazon exists a forager-horticultural community called the Tsimane. Researchers look to them for insights on how the human body functioned prior to modern technologies, as their lifestyles remain the closest to that of our ancestors.

Trial compares the use of blood thinners after stenting in patients with acute coronary syndromes

Noninferiority was not demonstrated for death and ischemic events between P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy and dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) given for 12 months after stenting in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2025 and simultaneously published in New England Journal of Medicine.

Dual antiplatelet therapy shows no benefit over aspirin after CABG in patients with acute coronary syndrome

Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) was not more effective than aspirin alone for the prevention of major adverse cardiovascular events and increased major bleeding in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 20251 and simultaneously published in New England Journal of Medicine.

Stopping oral anticoagulation reduces risk after successful atrial fibrillation ablation

Discontinuing oral anticoagulation (OAC) therapy resulted in a lower risk of a composite of stroke, systemic embolism or major bleeding than continuing OAC therapy in patients who had successful ablation for atrial fibrillation at least 12 months previously, according to results from a late-breaking trial presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2025 and simultaneously published in The Journal of the American Medical Association.

Reconditioned pacemakers show comparable infection rates to new devices

Procedure-related infection rates were similar with reconditioned and new pacemakers, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2025.

Sacubitril/valsartan shows benefit over enalapril in heart failure caused by Chagas disease

In patients with heart failure (HF) caused by Chagas disease, sacubitril/valsartan was superior to enalapril for the composite primary endpoint, predominantly driven by a significant reduction in N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2025.

Evolocumab fails to reduce vein graft disease after coronary artery bypass surgery

After coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), evolocumab did not reduce saphenous vein graft disease rates at 2 years compared with placebo, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2025 and simultaneously published in Lancet.

No clear benefit from surgical left atrial appendage occlusion in non-AF patients after valve surgery

No benefit in terms of prevention of ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack and cardiovascular mortality after 1 year was observed when surgical left atrial appendage occlusion was performed in high-risk non-atrial fibrillation patients after valvular surgery, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2025.

Long-term benzodiazepine use linked to poor sleep quality in older adults

Long-term use of benzodiazepine and related drugs has been linked to poorer quality sleep in older adults with insomnia.

Flooding from Hurricane Sandy raises heart disease risk years later

Although the material damage from 2012's Hurricane Sandy may have been repaired, the storm left a lasting impact on cardiovascular health, according to new findings from Weill Cornell Medicine and New York University researchers.

Researchers uncover a promising new therapeutic target for Barth syndrome

Researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have uncovered a promising new therapeutic target for Barth syndrome, a rare genetic condition with no current cure.

Intravenous cangrelor provides rapid platelet inhibition in cardiogenic shock

Compared with crushed ticagrelor, intravenous cangrelor provided immediate, effective platelet inhibition, with no increase in major bleeding and lower mortality rates in patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2025.

3 Sep 2025

Home-based hypertension care improves blood pressure control in rural South Africa

Home-based hypertension care led to reductions in systolic blood pressure and improvements in hypertension control in South Africa, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2025 and simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

3 Sep 2025

Early aspirin discontinuation safe after complete revascularization in acute MI

Among low-risk patients with acute MI who underwent early complete revascularization and received one month of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy was noninferior to continued DAPT for adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, while reducing bleeding risk.

3 Sep 2025

Novel ablation approach improves outcomes in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation

Adding digital twin-guided ablation to a standard ablation technique improved outcomes in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2025.

3 Sep 2025

Ablation methods equally effective for drug-resistant paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Pulsed field ablation did not have superior efficacy to radiofrequency ablation in patients with drug-resistant paroxysmal (intermittent) atrial fibrillation, according to results from a late-breaking trial presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2025.
