Impaired RV function, pulmonary coupling tied to hospitalizations, death in HFpEF patients
Worsening right ventricular (RV) function normally occurs in patients with heart failure and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF) and, along with its ratio to pulmonary pressure, is predictive of a higher risk of HF hospitalizations and cardiovascular death, reports a study.

GLP-1 RA, with or without SGLT2 inhibitors, prevents cardiac events in T2D
Treatment with the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) albiglutide results in fewer cardiovascular events, irrespective of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor use, among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease, according to the post hoc analysis of Harmony Outcomes*.

Long daytime naps tied to increased AF risk
Power naps (<30 minutes) offer time to recharge but going beyond the 30-minute mark may not be heart-friendly, according to a study that found a link between long daytime naps and risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF).

HDP exposure in gestation, maternal hypertension spell increased hypertension risk in offspring
Exposure to hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) in gestation and maternal hypertension both contribute to an elevated risk of chronic hypertension in offspring, as reported in a study.

Physical activity offsets downsides of abnormal sleep duration
Short and long sleep durations were tied to higher risks for all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and cancer mortality, but these may be attenuated by engaging in physical activity (PA), a population-based cohort study suggests.

AKI duration tied to CKD, CVD risk
The duration of acute kidney injury (AKI) was associated with the risks of chronic kidney disease (CKD) but not overall cardiovascular disease (CVD*), a population-based Danish cohort study suggests.
