The long-term durability of complete revascularization in older patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and multivessel disease has been a subject of recent debate. New 3-year follow-up data from the Functional Assessment in Elderly MI Patients With Multivessel Disease (FIRE) trial show that the clinical benefits of a physiology-guided complete revascularization strategy are sustained over time…

A new meta-analysis suggests that the more time an individual's ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) is within the target range proposed by the 2024 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines, the lower their risk of mortality and cardiovascular events.¹ The findings also highlight that office blood pressure measurements frequently misclassify patients with regard to their actual blood pressure…

A large-scale, nationwide study from South Korea suggests that vaccination with the live zoster vaccine is associated with a significantly lower risk of various cardiovascular (CV) events in adults aged 50 and older. The findings indicate a protective association that persists for up to 8 years post-vaccination.¹This population-based cohort study analysed data from over 2.2 million individuals…

AUTHOR: Jordan Rance; Special Editor: Greg GuilloryA new analysis sheds light on the timing of protection offered by SGLT2 inhibitors. Researchers conducted a cross-trial analysis using individual participant data from four large-scale randomized clinical trials: CANVAS (type 2 diabetes with high atherosclerotic risk, NCT01032629), CREDENCE (diabetic kidney disease, NCT02065791), DAPA-HF (heart…

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a progressive disease associated with a significant burden of recurrent cardiovascular (CV) events. A new post hoc analysis of the ATTRibute-CM trial suggests that acoramidis, an oral transthyretin (TTR) stabiliser, significantly reduces the cumulative burden of these outcomes.¹MethodologyThis exploratory analysis used data from the phase 3,…

Artificial intelligence applied to electrocardiograms (ECG-AI) may offer a scalable way to identify individuals at high risk of developing heart failure (HF), potentially improving on current clinical risk estimators, according to a new pooled cohort analysis from the HeartShare/Accelerating Medicines Partnership (AMP) Heart Failure program.¹The study aimed to assess whether ECG-AI models…

Observational studies have long suggested that women who experience hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) face a greater risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) later in life. A new genetic epidemiological study has explored whether this association is causal, using Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate the genetic underpinnings of this risk. The findings suggest a genetic predisposition…

AUTHOR: Yazmin SadikNew findings from the DIGIT-HF trial indicate that adding low-dose digitoxin to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) can reduce the risk of hospitalisation and all-cause mortality in patients with symptomatic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).¹The results were presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2025 and simultaneously…

Communicating long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk to younger adults can be challenging, but new research offers a tool to frame risk relative to an individual's peers. Investigators have developed population-based, age- and sex-specific percentiles for 30-year risk of CVD, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and heart failure (HF) using the PREVENT (Predicting Risk of CVD…
