A traditional Chinese medicine whose name means “to open the network of the heart” reduced the risk of heart attacks, deaths, and other major cardiovascular complications for at least a year after a first heart attack, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers shows. The findings, published in JAMA, reveal the promise of this compound, one of the first traditional Chinese medicines tested in a large-scale, Western-style clinical trial.

In a comprehensive review published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Interventions, Yiannis S. Chatzizisis, M.D., Ph.D., professor and chief of cardiovascular medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and colleagues show how artificial intelligence (AI), computational simulations and extended reality – collectively called AISER – are providing new tools to improve cardiovascular care.
Older adults who live in disadvantaged communities are less likely to attend cardiac rehabilitation (only 26%) after coronary revascularization, a study finds. Researchers say there is a critical need to address socioeconomic barriers that prevent so many patients from attending.
Findings from 50 years of data highlighted the health risks when more weight is gained in pregnancy than recommended, especially when it comes to heart disease- and diabetes-related mortality
Walgreens and the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) today announced a collaboration to drive forward the PREVUE-VALVE study, a groundbreaking population-based clinical trial that aims to quantify the prevalence of valvular heart disease (VHD) among older Americans and pave the way for the development of new therapies and tools for VHD detection and diagnosis.
A study published today in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery demonstrates outstanding long-term survival following low-risk isolated surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR)
The link between high blood pressure and a range of health problems is well known, and Australian researchers have now found that fluctuating blood pressure can be just as risky and a potential precursor to dementia and vascular disease.

Los hispanos y latinos con enfermedad renal crónica corren un riesgo significativo de sufrir un paro cardíaco repentino, de acuerdo a un nuevo estudio del Smidt Heart Institute en Cedars-Sinai.
An international team of scientists has identified nearly a dozen genes that contribute to calcium buildup in our coronary arteries that can lead to life-threatening coronary artery disease, a condition responsible for up to one in four deaths in the United States. Doctors may be able to target these genes with existing medications – or possibly even nutritional supplements – to slow or halt the disease’s progression.
Research Highlights:
Chronic kidney disease was strongly associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac arrest among Hispanic/Latino adults, in a new study.
Early identification and management of kidney disease may reduce risk of sudden cardiac arrest among Hispanic/Latino people, researchers suggest.
Researchers from Tufts University explain how our heart and arteries change as we get older and why women and men have different rates of cardiovascular disease
Pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes have recently been associated with a higher risk of developing heart disease later in life. But a new Northwestern Medicine study has found obesity before or during pregnancy is the actual root cause of future cardiovascular disease.
Health experts are redefining cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, prevention and management, according to a new American Heart Association presidential advisory published today in the Association’s flagship journal Circulation.
The vast majority of people - 30.6% - who have the minimally invasive heart valve replacement procedure called TAVR do not participate in recommended cardiac rehabilitation, a study finds.
Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a calculation that can help identify moderate aortic stenosis patients at higher risk of dying from the condition. According to new research published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, calculating the patient's mean arterial pressure (AugMAP) is a simple and effective way to identify those patients who may benefit from more aggressive treatment strategies.
A recent study based on real-world community patient data confirms the effectiveness of the Pooled Cohort Equation (PCE), developed by the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology in 2013.
