Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 26 June 2024; doi:10.1038/s41569-024-01046-6 In this Review, Khan and colleagues explore the evolving global epidemiology of heart failure (HF), focusing on changes in incidence and prevalence across the spectrum of left ventricular ejection fraction. The authors highlight the disparities in our understanding of HF epidemiology in low-income and middle-income countries, affirming the need for improved surveillance and resource allocation in vulnerable

Even though there is substantial variability in the contents and nutritional profiles of plant-based meat alternatives (PBMAs), the nutritional profiles tend to reflect a heart-healthy dietary pattern. A review article of the available studies directly comparing the impact of plant-based and animal-based meats consistently suggests that the plant-based alternatives improve cardiovascular risk factors.

Palpitations are a common reason for athletes to seek medical care. Although often benign, palpitations may serve as a harbinger for underling cardiac pathology. Given the unique challenges in this population, this review will serve to discuss the basic underlying pathophysiology, which may predispose athletes to palpitations. In addition, we will review the aetiologies, diagnostic evaluation, management and counselling strategies for some of the most common diagnoses seen in athletes.

It is estimated that by 2050, 17% of the world’s population will be greater than 85 years old, which, combined with cardiovascular disease (CVD) being the leading cause of death and disability, sets an unprecedented burden on our health and care systems. This perfect storm will be accompanied by a rise in the prevalence of CVD due to increased survival of patients with pre-existing CVD and the incidence of CVD that is associated with the process of ageing.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remains a leading cause of death around the world. Consequently, the identification of asymptomatic patients at high risk of ASCVD events is vital to ensure the timely initiation of primary prevention therapies. Traditional clinical risk factor-based models are currently recommended for initial risk stratification in patients at low risk or without ASCVD. 1 These remain imperfect, with low sensitivity for detection of premature artery disease in you
