‘They won’t help me’: Sickest patients face insurance denials despite policy fixes

Sheldon Ekirch spends a lot of time on hold with her health insurance company. Sometimes, as the minutes tick by and her frustration mounts, Ekirch, 30, opens a meditation app on her phone. It was recommended by her psychologist to help with the depression associated with a stressful and painful medical disorder.

Intravenous iron shows promise for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

Among iron-deficient patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), receiving intravenous iron supplementation was found to be safe but resulted in mixed findings, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session (ACC.25).

AI-based imaging performs equally well as ultrasound in guiding heart procedures

Patients with narrowing of at least 50% in three major coronary arteries did equally well when treated with a minimally invasive stent placement guided either by ultrasound-based imaging or by a novel, artificial-intelligence-powered (AI), non-invasive imaging technique derived from angiography, researchers reported at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session (ACC.25).

Racial disparities persist in survival rates for young athletes with cardiac arrest

The overall survival rate of athletes who suffer sudden cardiac arrest has improved over the past decade, but the likelihood of surviving varies by race, where the cardiac arrest occurred and what athletes were doing when they collapsed, according to featured clinical research presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session (ACC.25) and simultaneously published in JACC.

Study finds no benefit of early IABP use in cardiogenic shock patients

Compared with standard medical care, early use of a temporary intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) to support heart function in patients who were critically ill with cardiogenic shock caused by heart failure did not improve 60-day survival or enable more patients to successfully transition to long-term treatment, according to featured clinical research presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session (ACC.25) and simultaneously published in JACC

FAME-3 study reveals similar outcomes for CABG and PCI in severe triple-vessel heart disease

In sharp contrast to earlier studies, patients with severe triple-vessel heart disease fared equally well whether they underwent open-heart bypass surgery (CABG) or a less invasive procedure called PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) at five years of follow-up, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session.

Research shows clopidogrel as better long-term therapy than aspirin after PCI

People at high risk for recurrent cardiac events following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), a procedure to open blocked arteries, experienced significantly better outcomes with clopidogrel rather than aspirin as their long-term antiplatelet therapy, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session.

Study finds high rates of undiagnosed and untreated peripheral artery disease

A new Intermountain Health study finds that peripheral artery disease, a condition that affects more than 10 million Americans over the age of 40, is often underdiagnosed and undertreated, with fewer women getting guideline-directed medical therapy than men.

Antidepressant use associated with higher risk of sudden cardiac death in all age groups

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) refers to an unexpected death of a person, believed to be caused by a heart-related issue. It occurs within one hour of the onset of symptoms in witnessed cases or within 24 hours of the person being last seen alive in unwitnessed cases.

Atrial fibrillation elevates early-onset dementia risk in younger adults

New research presented at the EHRA 2025, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology, shows that the presence of atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of future dementia by 21% in patients diagnosed with AF under 70 and the risk of early-onset dementia (diagnosed before age 65 years) by 36%.

Pulse oximeter accuracy varies across skin pigment groups

The differences, or bias, between estimates of blood oxygen saturation levels as measured with pulse oximeters compared to the gold-standard method of measuring oxygen saturation in arterial blood varied significantly between patients with darkly pigmented skin compared to lighter skin pigment, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session.

Heart failure patients benefit from dapagliflozin after TAVR procedure

Patients with heart failure who took dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor, after undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) were significantly less likely to die or experience worsening heart failure at one year compared with patients who did not take the drug, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session.
