Clonal hematopoiesis drives femoral atherosclerosis in middle-aged adults

Researchers reveal that clonal hematopoiesis (CH) significantly increases the risk of developing femoral atherosclerosis, suggesting a unidirectional relationship independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors.

Dietary patterns like fasting and the Mediterranean diet unlock molecular secrets to healthy aging

Study reviews the molecular mechanisms by which caloric restriction, intermittent fasting, the Mediterranean diet, and the ketogenic diet promote healthy aging.

$FINEARTS-HF trial shows finerenone benefits for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction$

FINEARTS-HF trial shows finerenone benefits for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Finerenone reduced heart failure (HF) events and cardiovascular death in patients with HF and mildly reduced (HFmrEF) or preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2024.

2 Sep 2024

Wearable heart monitor for AF screening increases diagnoses but not stroke prevention

Screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) using a wearable heart monitor for 2 weeks can identify older adults with this potentially dangerous abnormal heart rhythm, but does not prevent subsequent strokes, according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line Session at this year's ESC Congress 2024 in London, UK (30 Aug - 2 Sept).

2 Sep 2024

Village doctor-led telemedicine reduces cardiovascular events in rural China

Telemedicine support to village doctors could hold the key to improving access to care for China's rural elderly at risk for developing potentially life-threatening complications resulting from untreated atrial fibrillation, according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line Session at this year's ESC Congress 2024 in London, UK (30 Aug - 2 Sept).
