Written by Magnus Nossen with Edits by Grauer and Smith The ECGs in today’s case are from 3 different patients all presenting with new-onset CP ( Chest Pain ). All ECGs were recorded by EMS, and transferred to a PCI capable center for evaluation. For 2 of the 3 patients — the cath lab was activated based on the ECG. One of the patients was lucky to have expert ECG interpretation by the Queen Of Hearts AI model.

Objective To explore trends in prognosis and use of glucose-lowering drugs (GLD) in patients with diabetes and coronary artery disease (CAD). Research design and methods All patients with diabetes and CAD undergoing a coronary angiography between 2010 and 2021 according to the Swedish Angiography and Angioplasty Registry were included. Information on GLD (dispended 6 months before or after coronary angiography) was collected from the Swedish Prescribed Drug Registry.

Researchers have developed a new compound, ZTA-261, that binds to thyroid hormone receptor beta (THR ). THR plays an important role in the regulation of lipid metabolism, which affects lipid levels in the blood. Mice administered the drug showed decreased lipid levels in the liver and blood, with fewer side effects in the liver, heart, and bones compared to existing compounds.

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has been used to improve the precision of valvular heart disease diagnosis and treatment. It has the ability to identify and risk stratify patients with valvular heart disease and holds promise in improving the innovation of new treatments through shorter, safer and more effective clinical trials. AI can help to guide the treatment of patients with valvular heart disease, by aiding in optimal device selection for transcatheter valvular interventions

Myocardial infarction (MI) stands at top global causes of death in developed countries, owing mostly to atherosclerotic plaque growth and endothelial injury-induced reduction in coronary blood flow. While early reperfusion techniques have improved outcomes, long-term treatment continues to be difficult. The function of lncRNAs extends to regulating gene expression in various conditions, both physiological and pathological, such as cardiovascular diseases.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is responsible for significant patient morbidity, and obesity is a major contributor to AF incidence and symptom burden. Weight loss has been shown to positively modify AF symptoms, but weight loss in a real-world population is often only temporary. This randomised study set out to examine if smartphone-based app technology could increase weight loss in a patient population with obesity and AF.

Patients undergoing anthracycline-based cancer treatments have an increased risk of heart failure (HF) and adverse metabolic outcomes such as malnutrition and cachexia. This retrospective study explored the impact of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on these outcomes in HF patients previously treated with anthracyclines. Using the TriNetx research network, we identified 1,545 patients with a history of SGLT2i use and 17,681 without.
