	Plant-based Mediterranean-style diet cuts heart disease risk by 26% A 20-year study links plant-based Mediterranean diets to lower heart disease risk, highlighting the importance of sustainable eating for cardiovascular health.

	Okra supplements may lower cholesterol and inflammation markers in diabetes A new meta-analysis suggests that okra may modestly improve key cardiovascular risk markers in people with diabetes, but researchers warn that the evidence is not strong enough to replace standard medical care. Study: Biological aging and generational shifts in early-onset cancer risk.

	Recognizing perinatal heart failure early reduces life-threatening risks Early detection and timely treatment of heart failure in pregnant or postpartum women are crucial to prevent serious complications, such as irregular heartbeat, stroke and death, according to a new American Heart Association scientific statement, "Heart Failure Occurring in the Perinatal Period."

			Transfemoral J-Valve device improves symptoms in severe aortic regurgitation patients New research simultaneously published today in JSCAI and presented at New York Valves 2026 reported favorable one-year outcomes in patients with symptomatic severe aortic regurgitation following treatment with the investigational J-Valve Transfemoral System.

			Three courageous heart transplant survivors are celebrated by the British Heart Foundation for giving their old hearts for research The British Heart Foundation is celebrating three incredible young women who donated their old hearts to science after having heart transplant surgery.

			Landmark study confirms long-term durability of Ross procedure for aortic valve replacement The Ross procedure, a highly specialized option for aortic valve replacement, is associated with significant long-term durability and excellent outcomes in a wide range of adult patients with aortic valve disease.

	Experts introduce updated framework for heart failure care worldwide A new international expert consensus document refines and updates how heart failure is identified and classified, aiming to improve prevention, diagnosis and management of heart failure worldwide.

	Exercise, not liraglutide alone, drives vascular gains after obesity-related weight loss A prespecified secondary analysis of the S-LiTE trial found that regular exercise reduced carotid artery wall thickness and circulating levels of inflammatory cytokines in adults with obesity who had already achieved substantial diet-induced weight loss. Liraglutide alone did not significantly improve these vascular or inflammatory markers, while exercise plus liraglutide also improved endothelial function biomarkers.

	Gene linked to lower BMI points researchers toward a new obesity target A review in Cardiology in Review highlights GPR75, a receptor for 20-HETE, as a promising therapeutic target for obesity and metabolic syndrome. Evidence from genetic studies, cell experiments, and mouse models suggests that blocking this pathway could influence weight gain, insulin resistance, hypertension, inflammation, and vascular dysfunction.
