When discussing heart health, heart attacks and cardiac arrest are two terms that are often mistaken for one another. While both are serious medical emergencies, they are not the same condition. Understanding the difference between heart attack and cardiac arrest can help in recognizing symptoms, seeking prompt medical care, and even saving lives. What is a Heart Attack?
Sotatercept, a first-in-class novel activin-signaling inhibitor, led to a 76% lower risk of a composite of death from any cause, lung transplantation or hospitalization for worsening pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) compared to placebo in high-risk adults with PAH, according to results from the ZENITH study presented during a Clinical and Investigative Horizons session at ACC.25 in Chicago and simultaneously published in NEJM.
In the continuously evolving world of healthcare, keeping up with the latest findings, technologies, and best practices is vital for medical professionals. One of the most effective ways to do this is through conferences that focus on medical education. These events are not just a way to earn continuing education credits; they are foundational to shaping how healthcare providers learn and apply knowledge in their practices.
Coronary atherosclerotic phenotypes, including total plaque volume (TPV), noncalcified plaque (NCP), calcified plaque (CP) and percentage atheroma volume (PAV), assessed by artificial intelligence-based quantitative coronary computed tomography (AI-QCT) conferred a higher relative risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in women, based on findings from the CONFIRM II trial presented at ACC.25 in Chicago and simultaneously published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging.

AZD0780, a novel, once-daily oral molecule inhibitor, had a robust, dose-dependent effect in lowering LDL-C and a favorable safety profile in patients with hypercholesterolemia already on background moderate- or high-intensity statin treatment, according to research presented during a Featured Clinical Research session at ACC.25 in Chicago and simultaneously published in JACC.
tim.hodson Mon, 03/31/2025 - 16:38 March 29, 2025 Anthos Therapeutics, Inc., presented two new analyses from itsAZALEA-TIMI 71 study at the American College of Cardiology Annual Scientific Session (ACC.25) demonstrating the novel Factor XI inhibitor abelacimab significantly reduced bleeding in patients regardless of age or bleeding risk. In the first analysis, the safety of abelacimab, a novel Factor XI inhibitor, was compared to rivaroxaban, a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC), by patient age.

Among patients with obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), the baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) did not impact the effect of tirzepatide on reducing major adverse HF events or to enhance health status, according to a post-hoc analysis of the SUMMIT trial presented during a Featured Clinical Research session at ACC.25 in Chicago and simultaneously published in JACC.
tim.hodson Mon, 03/31/2025 - 15:39 March 30, 2025 Medtronic has announced late-breaking data on five-year outcomes from the Evolut Low Risk Trial. Data shows, versus surgery, the Evolut transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) system delivers a numerically lower rate of all-cause mortality or disabling stroke at five years, strong valve performance and durable clinical outcomes.
Angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL-3) inhibition with the human monoclonal antibody, SHR-1918, reduces serum LDL-C by 22% to 30%, as well as triglyceride (TG) levels by 52% to 63%, in patients at moderate or higher risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), with the effect being dose and frequency dependent, according to research presented during a Clinical and Investigative Horizons session at ACC.25 in Chicago and simultaneously published in JACC.

Drawing on data from more than 1.1 million patients who used iRhythms Ziolong-term continuous monitoring (LTCM) ECG devices, these studies demonstrate that short-term (2448-hour) monitoring, such as with Holter devices, fails to detect a significant proportion
Panelists discuss how systemic treatments for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis offer significant advantages over topicals, including more comprehensive disease control, improved adherence, reduced treatment burden, greater efficacy for widespread disease, ability to address immunological drivers of inflammation, prevention of flares, management of both cutaneous and extracutaneous manifestations, reduced corticosteroid exposure, and potential modification of disease trajectoryparticularly be
Refocusing and reframing the definition and discussion of coronary artery disease (CAD) from late-stage ischemia and acute coronary events to early detection of coronary artery atheroma and prevention of advanced acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has the potential to save 8.7 million lives globally every year, according to a new report from The Lancet Commission presented at ACC.25.
Panelists discuss how the approval of dupilumab and subsequent biologics for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis has fundamentally transformed the treatment landscape by providing targeted, effective options with favorable safety profiles that address underlying disease pathways, shifting from symptomatic management toward long-term disease control, raising expectations for treatment outcomes, reducing reliance on systemic immunosuppressants, enabling personalized therapy based on specific infl
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a common heart rhythm disorder characterized by an irregular and often rapid heartbeat. This condition can lead to various complications, including stroke and heart failure, making it essential to understand its causes, symptoms, and AFib treatment options. Consulting a local cardiologist is crucial for the proper diagnosis and management of AFib.
