The long-term cardiac impact of COVID-19

Study shows that severe COVID-19 elevates the long-term risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), making it comparable to coronary artery disease. It also highlights a genetic interaction with ABO blood type, influencing cardiovascular outcomes.

Could heparin offer new hope in the fight against dementia?

Heparin therapy delays Alzheimer's diagnosis by one to two years, offering potential insights into new protective treatments. Large-scale health records show a promising association between the anticoagulant and delayed dementia onset.

COVID-19 survivors at greater risk for heart attack, stroke and death

A history of COVID-19 can double the risk of heart attack, stroke or death according to new research led by Cleveland Clinic and the University of Southern California.

COVID-19 found to increase heart attack and stroke risks

An analysis of data in the UK Biobank has found that COVID-19 infection may increase the risk of heart attack, stroke and death from any cause for up to three years for people with and without cardiovascular disease, according to new research published today in the American Heart Association's peer-reviewed journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology (ATVB).

Study highlights the role of genetic factors in COVID-19 thrombosis and inflammation

Despite global vaccination efforts, COVID-19 continues to pose significant risks, leading to severe complications and fatalities. These risks are driven by disrupted coagulation, impaired fibrinolysis, which is the process of breaking blood clots, and heightened inflammatory responses.

Targeted therapy improves pregnancy outcomes

Amongst women who experience recurrent pregnancy loss, around 20% test positive for a specific antibody that targets the mother's own body. A Kobe University-led research team now found a treatment that drastically increases these women's chances of carrying to full-term without complications.

New approach to B-ALL treatment reduces side effects and enhances survival

Clinical trial results from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital demonstrate benefits to using genomics and early treatment response to guide risk classification of children with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).

Inadequate staffing in surgical wards linked to adverse outcomes

A new paper in the British Journal of Surgery, published by Oxford University Press, shows that nursing shortages result in longer hospital stays and worse patient outcomes, including higher mortality.

Hemorrhages found to be more common in cancer patients than previously thought

In a recent study published in the scientific journal "Blood", researchers from MedUni Vienna show that hemorrhages are more common in cancer patients than previously thought and are associated with a poor prognosis and an increased risk of death.

European Society of Cardiology highlights underrecognized link between obesity and heart disease

Obesity is a key factor in cardiovascular disease, prompting the ESC to recommend comprehensive strategies for prevention and management to reduce health risks.

Complete revascularization proves effective for older STEMI patients in first 4 years

The benefits of complete revascularization over culprit-only coronary artery revascularisation were confirmed in older patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease over the first 4 years, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2024.

OCEANIC-AF trial reveals inferiority of asundexian to apixaban for stroke prevention

Asundexian 50 mg daily was inferior to apixaban for stroke and systemic embolism prevention in high-risk patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2024.

Research suggests flexible approach to antiplatelet management after drug-eluting stent implantation

Among patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery more than 1 year after coronary drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation, there was no difference with respect to ischaemic outcomes or major bleeding between perioperative aspirin monotherapy and receiving no antiplatelet therapy, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2024.

1 Sep 2024

Major surgery complications unaffected by use of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors

There was no difference in major post-operative complications in patients who continued vs. stopped renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASIs) before non-cardiac surgery, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2024.
