Tirzepatide may reduce major kidney events in T2D patients with CVD, CKD

25 Nov 2025 by

The use of tirzepatide appears to reduce decline in kidney function, prevent albuminuria progression, and lower the risk of the composite kidney outcome compared with dulaglutide in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and very high-risk chronic kidney disease (CKD), reports a study presented at Kidney Week 2025.

Mediastinitis rare but fatal after paediatric cardiac surgery

24 Nov 2025

A recent study has found a low incidence of mediastinitis, a rare complication of neonatal cardiac surgery, at a tertiary referral centre, but mortality is high. Fungal infection is the main predictor of death.

Is coffee proarrhythmic? New data suggest otherwise

22 Nov 2025 by

For adults treated for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), drinking a cup of coffee every day does not trigger AF recurrence or atrial flutter and even appears to reduce its incidence, according to the DECAF trial.

Prior herpes zoster vaccination mitigates long-term complications after infection

20 Nov 2025 by

For individuals who sustained herpes zoster infection, prior receipt of recombinant zoster vaccine appears to reduce the long-term risks of major adverse cardiovascular events, dementia, and death, according to a retrospective study.

Accumulated daily steps in longer bouts tied to fewer mortality, CVD events

18 Nov 2025

Daily accumulated steps in longer bouts appear to result in lower mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks than steps accumulated in shorter bouts among suboptimally active adults, reveals a study.

Major bleeding risk higher with ticagrelor vs clopidogrel in multiethnic ACS patients

16 Nov 2025 by

For multiethnic Southeast Asian patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), bleeding outcomes including BARC type 3 bleeding appear to be less favourable with ticagrelor than with clopidogrel, as shown in a retrospective study from Singapore.

Is DCB angioplasty better than stenting for de novo CAD?

16 Nov 2025

Drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty with rescue stenting in patients with de novo coronary artery disease (CAD) results in a higher rate of device-oriented composite endpoint (DoCE) than intended drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation at 3 years, reports a study.

Limited sugar exposure in early life may prevent CVD events in adulthood

15 Nov 2025 by

Restricting sugar exposure in utero and during infancy appears protective against the risks of several cardiovascular outcomes and delays disease onset later in life, suggests a study.

Olive leaf extracts reduce BP in hypertensive patients

14 Nov 2025

Taking olive oil extract (OLE) helps lower 24-h blood pressure (BP), BP load (BPL), and diastolic BP variability (BPV) while improving lipid profile, systemic inflammation, and body weight in individuals with hypertension, a study has shown.

Home BP control status mediates link between CV risk, LVH

14 Nov 2025

The morning home blood pressure (BP) control status seems to influence the association between left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, suggests a study.
