Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) events triggered by inflammation are an underappreciated and poorly quantified cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with bloodstream infections (BSIs). We aimed to determine the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke after BSI. Methods This self-controlled case series study was conducted within the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage Databank, containing anonymised population-scale electronic health record data for Wales, UK.
ObjectivesNoise pollution has become an increasingly severe environmental issue in modern society and has been recognized for its adverse effects on cardiovascular diseases. Hypertension induced by noise exposure has garnered significant research interest and a large quantity of studies have been conducted. This study aims to employ bibliometric methods to comprehensively review the literature on the relationship between noise exposure and hypertension and to analyze the current state of researc
Background Current pharmacological approaches for the treatment of orthostatic hypotension (OH) may detrimentally affect supine blood pressure (BP). This side effect is often unacceptable and limits the utility of medical management. Pyridostigmine has been proposed as a potential treatment alternative which may improve OH without worsening supine hypertension.
Cardio-cerebral infarction (CCI) is a rare clinical syndrome characterized by the simultaneous or sequential occurrence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Despite its complex pathogenesis and more severe prognosis compared to isolated AMI or AIS, no consensus has been established regarding its definition, classification, epidemiology, treatment protocols, or prognostic management.

AI is transforming clinical trials—accelerating drug discovery, optimizing patient recruitment, and improving data analysis. But its impact goes far beyond research. As AI-driven innovation reshapes the clinical trial process, it’s also influencing broader healthcare trends, from personalized medicine to patient outcomes. Join this new webinar featuring Simran Kaur for an insightful discussion on what all of this means for the future of healthcare!
Aim To assess the effectiveness and safety of strength training (ST) interventions in people with congenital heart disease (ConHD). Methods Participants included people of all ages diagnosed with all complexity of ConHD. Interventions included strength training or inspiratory muscle training (IMT) which were delivered in whole or as part of a more holistic programme.
ObjectiveThe influence of extreme sleep duration on coronary heart disease (CHD) risk across genders remains a debated topic.MethodsThis analysis gathers observational studies that explore association between varying sleep durations and CHD risks. Trend estimation employs generalized least squares, converting specific category risk estimates into relative risks (RR) per hour of sleep increase.
Background The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated major reallocation of healthcare services. Our aim was to assess the impact on paediatric congenital heart disease (CHD) procedures during different pandemic periods compared with the prepandemic period, to inform appropriate responses to future major health services disruptions. Methods and results We analysed 26 270 procedures from 17 860 children between 1 January 2018 and 31 March 2022 in England, linking them to primary/secondary care data.

ObjectivesTo investigate the relationship between plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) and the prevalence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in hypertensive patients and to determine any potential threshold effects.MethodsThis cross-sectional study analyzed data from 13,157 hypertensive individuals from the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China.
Tiny fragments of plastic have become ubiquitous in our environment and our bodies. Higher exposure to these microplastics, which can be inadvertently consumed or inhaled, is associated with a heightened prevalence of chronic noncommunicable diseases, according to new research.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition characterized by the gradual loss of kidney function, leading to the accumulation of uremic toxins in the bloodstream. These toxins play a pivotal role in mediating vascular inflammation, a key contributor to the high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality observed in CKD patients. This review article explores the intricate mechanisms by which uremic toxins accelerate vascular inflammation.
In addition to causing several types of cancer, human papillomavirus (HPV) appears to bring a significantly increased risk of heart disease and coronary artery disease, according to a new study.

DALLAS, March 25, 2025 Understanding how to properly respond in a cardiac emergency when seconds matter is critical to everyone, everywhere. That is why the American Heart Association, devoted to changing the future to a world of healthier lives for.
People who have had COVID-19, even mild cases, tend to have cardiovascular imbalances in the short and medium term and need to undergo rehabilitation. This was the finding of a study of 130 volunteers conducted at the Federal University of So Carlos (UFSCar) in Brazil.
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common birth defects, but the full extent of its genetic underpinnings has been a mystery. Now, a new study of more than 11,000 children with CHD identifies 60 genes that are mutated in CHD patients more often than expected by chance.
Several abstracts using data from the NCDR suite of registries will be featured at ACC.25, taking place March 29-31 in Chicago, IL. Explore how investigators leverage NCDR data to test their hypotheses on patient risk factors and outcomes, procedure and treatment trends, diversity, health equity and inclusion, guideline adherence, device, facility and provider characteristics, and quality of care.
