| | A large U.S. cohort-crossover study found that pregnancy and the postpartum period were linked to about a seven-fold higher relative risk of major adverse cardiovascular events compared with patients’ nonpregnant baseline risk. | |
|
| | Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy may lead to lasting cardiovascular issues in offspring, highlighting the need for improved maternal health strategies. | |
|
| | An 8-month low-calorie diet plus behavioral support helped older adults with overweight or obesity and persistent atrial fibrillation lose weight safely, with no intervention-related serious adverse events. However, the LOSE-AF trial found no meaningful improvement in AF symptoms, rhythm control, AF burden, cardiac remodeling, or further AF procedure rates compared with usual care. | |
|
| | Research shows hidden heart attacks accelerate cognitive decline, highlighting the need for better identification of cardiovascular risks to brain health. | |
|
| | Doctors should consider treating high cholesterol much earlier and more aggressively than they have in the past, according to a new perspective by Weill Cornell Medicine, NewYork-Presbyterian and Yale School of Medicine investigators. | |
|
| | Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is an increasingly recognized yet frequently underdiagnosed cause of heart failure, particularly among older adults. | |
|
| | A smart-technology wearable wristband device may be able to automatically detect cardiac arrest, which could lead to faster medical assistance and increased survival odds when cardiac arrest occurs outside of a hospital, according to new research published today in Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, a peer-reviewed scientific journal of the American Heart Association. | |
|
| | Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains one of Europe's biggest health challenges, according to new data from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Atlas of Cardiology, published in the European Heart Journal. | |
|
| | A novel wireless chest patch enables continuous monitoring of stress signals, enhancing psychophysiological assessment in clinical and real-world settings. | |
|
| | Shana Hale, a Brooklyn mother of two and a technology executive, noticed a mild burning sensation in her chest during her daily walks last summer. | |
|
| | A sweeping international study has identified ways to detect patients who are at serious risk of sudden death, heart failure or other dangerous outcomes from heart thickening known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. | |
|
| | A new Expert Consensus Decision Pathway by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) provides recommended strategies for improving postpartum care for individuals with and at risk for short- and long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD). | |
|
| | A recent study demonstrates optogenetic cardiac pacing to modulate heart rhythms and assess tachycardia-driven effects on anxiety-related behavior. | |
|
| | Refining transverse aortic constriction (TAC) models helps reduce variability and improve reproducibility in heart failure research. | |
