Interpreter access associated with Heart School participation among foreign-born post-heart attack patients

After a heart attack, foreign-born people are less likely to attend a relapse-preventing Heart School than native-born patients. But with access to a professional interpreter, participation increases. This was found in a study led by researchers at Linköping University, published in the journal IJC Heart & Vasculature. Our conclusion is that healthcare should always […]

Bidirectional Mendelian randomization uncovers link between plasma metabolites and heart attack risk

Myocardial infarction, more commonly known as a heart attack, is a leading cause of death worldwide. Biomarkers called plasma metabolites may play a key role in the physiological pathways involved in myocardial infarctions. Recently published research used a methodological approach called bidirectional Mendelian randomization to understand more about these biomarkers and what they can tell […]

Lerodalcibep reduces LDL cholesterol by over 50% in high-risk patients

Among patients at high or very high risk for a heart attack or stroke, the addition of the investigational drug lerodalcibep to standard cholesterol-lowering medication for one year reduced LDL, or “bad” cholesterol, levels by more than half on average, compared with a placebo. In addition, 90% of patients treated with lerodalcibep, versus 16% of […]

HartWacht app enables remote blood pressure and arrhythmia monitoring for Amsterdam UMC patients

From today, patients and doctors at Amsterdam UMC’s Heart Centre can make use of the app HartWacht (HeartGuard, in English) to supplement their care. Through the use of a small measurement instrument, around the size of a cereal bar, and a mobile app, patients can now have their blood pressure and arrythmias monitored at home. […]

Social support needed to reduce the barriers in accessing cardiac rehabilitation

Noted experts in cardiovascular rehabilitation attending the Third Jim Pattison-Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute Cardiac Rehabilitation Symposium (Banff, April 21-23, 2023) observed that although cardiac rehabilitation benefits diverse groups of patients and affords the most cost-effective prevention for recurrent events, it is grossly underutilized globally. They concluded that access is the hardest obstacle for patients to […]

Natriuresis-guided diuretic therapy improves decongestion in acute heart failure

A pragmatic natriuresis-guided diuretic approach in patients with acute heart failure significantly increases 24-hour natriuresis without impacting all-cause mortality or heart failure rehospitalization, according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2023. The PUSH-AHF trial provides the first randomized evidence supporting the natriuresis-guided treatment approach advised in […]

ECLS does not improve survival in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock

Early extracorporeal life support (ECLS) does not improve survival in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock who are scheduled for early revascularization, according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2023. Cardiogenic shock is the leading cause of death in hospitalized patients with acute myocardial […]

Study shows benefit of traditional Chinese medicine for heart failure

​The traditional Chinese medicine qiliqiangxin reduces hospitalization for heart failure and cardiovascular death in patients with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2023. Qiliqiangxin is a traditional Chinese medicine extract obtained from 11 types of herbs (Table 1). […]

Black patients with ICDs have higher rate of post-implant cardiac events and risk of death

Black patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have a significantly higher burden of disease than white patients with the same device, according to a new study from University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) cardiology researchers. Analyzing data from clinical trials conducted over a 20-year period by the Clinical Cardiovascular Research Center (CCRC) at URMC, investigators […]
