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.

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.

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.

AI scans arteries and predicts risk after heart attack better than traditional review

Researchers found that AI applied to OCT imaging can standardize detection of thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) and identify post–heart attack patients at higher two-year risk. Whole-segment AI analysis outperformed lesion-focused human review, offering stronger prognostic value and reassurance for low-risk patients.

Study finds links between human genetic variation, gut mycobiome, and chronic disease risk

Clinicians' ability to diagnose and treat chronic diseases is limited by scientific uncertainty around factors contributing to disease risk. A study published September 2nd in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by Drs. Emily Van Syoc, Emily Davenport, and Seth Bordenstein at The Pennsylvania State University, United States, uncovers evidence of the first ternary relationships between human genetic variation, variation in gut mycobiome, and risk of developing chronic disease.
