Circulation, Ahead of Print. The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans supports sitting less and moving more. Growing evidence suggests that a waking behavior profile with less sedentary behavior and more light-intensity physical activity is associated with more favorable cardiovascular health. Remarkably, little is known about how these behaviors relate to cardiovascular health during pregnancy.
Background Kuwait, one of the world’s hottest countries, faces increasing temperatures due to climate change. With a large migrant population predominantly employed in physically demanding jobs, the exact effects and burdens of temperature exposure on cardiovascular risk among this population remain unknown. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between temperature and myocardial infarction (MI) risk among migrants in Kuwait.

Since the first implementation in 2002 by Alain Cribier, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a standard procedure for high-risk and elderly patients with severe aortic valve stenosis. Recently, the use of TAVR has expanded to relatively younger patients with low to moderate surgical risk. Infective endocarditis (IE) after TAVR, first reported in medical literature in 2010, is a relatively new and extremely concerning complication. 1 Its incidence, reported as 1.1% per person
‘Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance ’ Confucius This editorial refers to ‘Gaps in knowledge and management of iron deficiency in heart failure: a nationwide survey of cardiologists in China’, by Su et al. 1 Over the last 25 years, an accumulation of data has highlighted the prevalence of iron deficiency and the value of its correction in patients with heart failure and reduced (HFrEF) or mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF).
A new Cedars-Sinai study demonstrates how gut bacteria can influence the development of blood vessel inflammation in laboratory mice. The findings, if confirmed in humans, would open a potential route for treating Kawasaki disease, a mysterious childhood disorder characterized by vascular inflammation.
Electronic health interventions improved medication adherence in kidney transplant recipients, with potential implications for improving patient outcomes.
Recent research from the University of Oklahoma suggests that survivors of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing carry physiological traces of the trauma, even though study participants have gone on to lead healthy and resilient lives. Essentially, their bodies "remember" the trauma even if they don't have physical or mental health problems.
(MedPage Today) -- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients face very different risks for cardiovascular disease and events depending on their body mass index (BMI), use of biologic drugs for RA, and, crucially, whether they carry anti-citrullinated.
Use of a novel implantable inferior vena cava (IVC) sensor to remotely monitor patients with heart failure (HF) may be accurate, safe and feasible, based on findings from the FUTURE-HF study published April 9 in JACC: Heart Failure.
Research led by Mirvie Inc. has discovered a molecular signal in blood samples that can predict preeclampsia and related conditions months before clinical symptoms appear. Findings suggest a new approach to risk detection that may support precision-based strategies in maternal health.
(MedPage Today) -- The global flurry of innovation in tricuspid valve interventions continues in the wake of Evoque's release, as illustrated by the 1-year report for a Chinese-made device that has already progressed to a second-generation iteration.
A state-of-the-art review published in JACC aims to serve as a primary reference for clinicians providing cardiovascular care to pediatric athletes, defined as individuals aged 5 to 17 years who participate in physical activity with an emphasis on achievement, performance or competitive goals.
Patients undergoing atrial fibrillation (AFib) ablation who were not properly anticoagulated and did not undergo preprocedural transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) were significantly more likely to suffer from transient ischemic attack (TIA) or pulmonary embolism (PE).
