Rescue PCI after failed fibrinolysis linked to worse outcomes in STEMI compared to scheduled angiography
Rescue PCI after failed clot-busting drugs caused worse heart outcomes than planned angiography
This pre-specified analysis of the STREAM-2 RCT compared rescue PCI after failed fibrinolysis with scheduled angiography in 583 patients wit…
Patients needing emergency heart catheterization after clot-busting drugs fared worse than those who received planned procedures, with highe…
Systematic review and meta-analysis shows remote monitoring reduces mortality and hospitalizations in heart failure
Remote monitoring reduces death risk for heart failure patients
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated remote patient monitoring in heart failure using data from approximately 23,000 participa…
Remote patient monitoring may lower death and hospitalization risks for people living with heart failure in recent clinical trials.
NICE-Support programme improves frailty and quality of life in stable heart failure patients
Nutrition and exercise program improves frailty in heart failure
This randomized controlled trial in 240 adults with stable heart failure tested a 12-week multimodal support programme versus standard care.
A 12-week program combining nutrition, exercise, and support significantly reduced frailty and improved quality of life in adults with heart…
Sirolimus-eluting iron bioresorbable scaffold shows higher late lumen loss than everolimus-eluting stents in coronary artery disease patients
New iron scaffold matches metal stents for heart artery repair
This randomized trial enrolled 518 patients with myocardial ischemia and 1 or 2 de novo target lesions at 36 centers in China.
A new iron heart scaffold matches metal stents in safety and effectiveness while dissolving over time.
Machine learning model detects cardiac amyloidosis on bone scintigraphy with high accuracy
AI tool spots heart disease risk before symptoms start
This development and validation study assessed a machine learning model (Amylo-Detect) in 11,616 patients referred for bone scintigraphy.
A new AI system scans medical records to find hidden heart disease risk before symptoms appear in patients for doctors to act quickly.
Narrative review discusses AI and machine learning in cardio-oncology to mitigate cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity risks
New AI tool spots heart risks from cancer therapy early
This narrative review examines the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in cardio-oncology.
Smart AI predicts heart risks from cancer drugs before they start so doctors can protect patients better during treatment.
Narrative review examines multimorbidity impact on sepsis morbidity and mortality outcomes
Sepsis Risk Skyrockets When You Have Multiple Chronic Conditions
This narrative review synthesizes evidence regarding sepsis in patients with multimorbidity including type 2 diabetes and heart failure.
Common chronic diseases like diabetes and heart failure create hidden traps that make sepsis much harder to fight and treat.
Systematic review and meta-analysis of MYH7 versus MYBPC3 variants in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Specific heart genes predict different risks for HCM patients
This systematic review and meta-analysis pooled data from 192,361 participants in cohort or registry studies to compare MYH7 and MYBPC3 vari…
New data shows specific heart genes predict different risks for people with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and guide care plans.
Systematic review of cardiovascular disease incidence in Italian adults without baseline disease
Heart attack and stroke risks vary wildly across Italian adults over decades
This systematic review examined the incidence of fatal and non-fatal major cardiovascular events in Italian adults aged 18 to 65 years witho…
A review of nineteen studies shows heart attack and stroke rates in Italy range from 10 per thousand per year to 46.5 per thousand over 40 y…
Retrospective cohort study links ABSI and TyG index to incident cardiovascular disease in Chinese adults
Combining Body Shape And Blood Sugar Predicts Heart Risk Better
This retrospective cohort study evaluated 920 overweight or obese Chinese adults aged 40 to 80 years free of cardiovascular disease at basel…
Overweight adults face higher heart risks than weight alone suggests since new measures combining body shape and blood sugar offer better cl…
Off-pump CABG showed similar wound complications but fewer transfusions and shorter stays versus on-pump CABG in 394 patients
Off-Pump Surgery Does Not Reduce Leg Wound Risks In Heart Patients
This single-center retrospective cohort study evaluated 394 patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting.
New data shows that avoiding the heart-lung machine does not protect leg incisions from infection or poor healing in heart bypass patients.
Chagas disease associated with higher in-hospital mortality in adults hospitalized with heart failure
Heart Failure Patients With Chagas Face Higher Death Risk In Hospital
This cohort study analyzed 910,128 heart failure hospitalizations within the Brazilian Unified Health System.
A massive study of nearly a million patients reveals that Chagas disease makes heart failure much more deadly inside the hospital.
