International study offers insight into occurrence of acute myocarditis during COVID-19 hospitalization

Acute myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle typically triggered by a virus, occurred in about two out of every 1,000 people hospitalized with COVID-19, and was associated with more severe illness and complications in people with COVID-19, especially among people who also had pneumonia, according to new research published today in the American Heart Association's flagship, peer-reviewed journal Circulation.

Impact of cardiovascular disease in pregnant or postpartum COVID-19 patients

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers reported coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) prognosis worsened by the presence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in pregnant and postpartum women.

Advanced microscopy reveals exciting insights into dynamic ultrastructure of the heart

What happens below the cellular level when the heart contracts and relaxes has long been unexplored. Thanks to new ultra-high-resolution electron microscopy techniques, scientists can now watch the heart beating – almost at a molecular level.

NHLBI researchers support multiple programs to address pregnancy-related health disparities

During Black Maternal Health Week, April 11-17, and in preparation for Women's Health Month in May, researchers are raising awareness about pregnancy-related complications that disproportionately affect Black people.

Smoking cessation could help heart disease patients gain five years of healthy life

Smoking cessation adds the same number of heart disease-free years to life as three preventive medications combined, according to research presented at ESC Preventive Cardiology 2022, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology.

Insomnia common in heart disease patients and linked with subsequent cardiovascular events

Nearly half of heart disease patients have insomnia, according to research presented at ESC Preventive Cardiology 2022, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology, and published in SLEEP Advances.

Researchers develop novel device to “cleanse” the blood of chemotherapeutic drugs

For patients with cancer, the tumor-killing power of chemotherapeutic drugs is a double-edged sword. While many cancer drugs kill tumor cells, they can also harm healthy cells as they travel throughout the bloodstream.

Study captures the immune effect of COVID-19 vaccine in patients with multiple myeloma

Most immunocompromised people with a blood cancer called multiple myeloma benefited from a third dose of COVID-19 vaccines, a promising sign after it was shown that two doses tended to not be sufficient for them.

Patients treated with edoxaban after TAVR do not find reduction in mini strokes, blood clots in the brain

Patients treated with the blood thinner edoxaban for six months after a heart valve replacement procedure experienced fewer symptomless blood clots inside the heart valve replacement than patients who were treated with two antiplatelet drugs, according to data presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

Study shows superiority of Chocolate Touch device for opening blocked arteries in the leg

Patients treated for a blocked artery in the leg were significantly more likely to have an open artery without further interventions at 12 months if they received the second-generation paclitaxel-coated balloon catheter known as the Chocolate Touch device compared with those receiving the commercially-available Lutonix drug-coated balloon catheter, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

Novel transcatheter repair system for tricuspid regurgitation shows promising results at one year

Patients with tricuspid regurgitation, a common and debilitating form of valvular heart disease, who received a novel investigational device intended to repair the defective valve experienced significant improvements in blood flow through the heart and in quality of life at one year, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

Sodium thiosulfate shows no benefits for reducing heart damage following a heart attack

Sodium thiosulfate showed no benefits for reducing injury to damaged areas of heart muscle following a heart attack, in a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

5 Apr 2022

Implantable heart rhythm monitor does not benefit NSTEMI patients

Patients who received an implantable heart rhythm monitor after suffering a heart attack did not have fewer subsequent cardiovascular events overall, but a subset of patients whose heart attack was classified as non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) did see strong benefits, in a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

5 Apr 2022

Aggressively warming patients during surgery offers no benefit, study says

Patients kept at a body temperature of 37 C during major surgery had no fewer cardiac complications than patients kept at 35.5 C, according to data presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

ECG can pinpoint hospitalized COVID-19 patients at high risk of mortality

A simple electrocardiogram (ECG) can pinpoint hospitalized COVID-19 patients at high risk of death who might need intensive management. That's the finding of a study presented at EHRA 2022, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology.

Genetic risk score predicts the likelihood of cardiovascular events in people with Type 2 diabetes

A risk score based on a gene map predicted the likelihood of high blood pressure leading to heart problems or stroke in people with Type 2 diabetes, according to a study published today in the American Heart Association's peer-reviewed journal Hypertension.
