- Older Adults With Obesity See Gains in BP, Lipid Control, But Not Young AdultsAcross seven industrialized countries, differences in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and non–HDL-C between adults with obesity and normal body mass index (BMI) have narrowed substantially over time, particularly among adults over 40 years old. However, young adults with obesity remain at higher cardiometabolic risk, according to new research from the NCD Risk Factor Collaboration published […]
- SUMMIT: Benefits From Tirzepatide Similar By Sex in Patients With Obesity-Related HFpEFTreatment benefit from tirzepatide was consistent across multiple domains of heart failure (HF) severity and did not differ by sex, despite women exhibiting greater adiposity, symptom severity and poorer exercise capacity but lower left ventricular mass and paracardiac fat deposition when compared to men, according to a secondary analysis of the SUMMIT trial published July […]
- VNE Accurate, Effective in Myocardial Scar AssessmentVirtual native enhancement (VNE), a contrast-free cardiac MRI technique powered by artificial intelligence, demonstrated high diagnostic performance in detecting and quantifying myocardial scarring in patients undergoing assessment for ischemic heart disease or prior myocardial infarction (MI), according to research published July 15 in JACC.
- Does Long Term PM2.5 Exposure Increase Coronary Heart Disease Risk?Long-term exposure to particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5) was associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI), according to a nationwide cohort study published July 15 in JACC. The findings emphasize the need for constituent-specific air pollution control beyond PM2.5 mass. The prospective study included […]
- AI-Enabled Clinician: The Future of Heart Rhythm Care with Digital Health ToolsIn this episode, ACC Chief Innovation Officer Dr. Ami Bhatt speaks with Dr. Krishna Pundi about how digital health tools and wearable technologies are helping to manage cardiovascular risk and chronic arrhythmias in patients.
