Just a couple weeks after the full trial results of AZALEA TIMI 71 were released, Novartis agreed to acquire Anthos Therapeutics for $925M upfront and another $2.15B in milestone payments, signaling that the pharma titan may have renewed confidence in abelacimab and the Factor XI inhibition segment. Novartis spun out the testing and development of abelacimab and formed Anthos Therapeutics back in 2019.

Background Atrial arrhythmias (AA) and heart failure (HF) are major causes of hospitalisation in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD). This study aimed to evaluate the temporal relationship between AA and HF onset, the association between HF and the success of radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and how HF influences outcomes in patients with AA. Methods In this single-centre retrospective cohort study, data from 3995 patients with ACHD were analysed.

BackgroundCurrent evidence suggests that cardiovascular disease (CVD) plays a role in the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the relationship between CVD and the severity of COPD remains inadequately understood. Therefore, this study aims to elucidate the association between CVD and the severity of COPD.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study involving 7,152 individuals with COPD., Logistic regression, subgroup and sensitivity analyses were employed to evaluate th

In adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD patients), atrial arrhythmias (AA) and heart failure (HF) are common. Of these, AA is one of the leading causes for hospital admissions in ACHD care. 1 Factors related to congenital heart disease, such as underlying anatomy, surgical repair technique and scars, can all be considered as AA substrates. Scar-related re-entrant atrial tachycardias and atrial fibrillation (AF) are the most common types of AA, but focal atrial tachycardias, atrioventricula

Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart defect in adults, often leading to complications such as thoracic aortic aneurysms and aortic stenosis. While BAV is frequently associated with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS), the contribution of rare copy number variants (CNVs) in this region to non-syndromic BAV is less clear.

Fabry disease (FD) is a rare X-linked genetic lysosomal storage disorder characterised by glycosphingolipid accumulation leading to multiorgan involvement including the heart typically in the second to fourth decades of life. Cardiomyopathy is a primary determinant of prognosis in FD and typically presents as a heart failure (HF) with a preserved ejection fraction phenotype. 1 Early identification and treatment are essential to mitigate disease progression leading to proposals for clinical stagi

ObjectiveThe prevalence of acute myocardial infarction, a severe ischemic cardiac disease, is on the rise annually. The establishment of coronary collateral circulation in the border zone of the infarct can effectively relieve myocardial ischemia and impede cell death, while angiogenesis can promote the formation of collateral circulation in the ischemic tissues.
