Can we predict sudden cardiac arrests in the general population?

22 Apr 2022 by

The quest for a personalized risk model that can foretell sudden cardiac arrests (SCAs) in the general population remains, as the ESCAPE-NET* research project falls short in their pursuit to identify such a model that can predict SCA risk in this population.

Does reducing salt intake impact CV outcomes?

21 Apr 2022 by

An intervention aimed at reducing sodium intake in patients with heart failure (HF) does not reduce the risk of emergency department (ED) presentation or hospitalization for cardiovascular (CV) causes or all-cause death, according to results of the SODIUM-HF* trial. However, patients did experience improvements in quality of life (QoL) and New York Heart Association (NYHA) class.

Is coffee good for the heart?

21 Apr 2022 by

Drinking two to three cups of coffee daily is good for the health, lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and even promoting longevity in individuals with or without heart problems, according to three studies presented at the American College of Cardiology’s (ACC) Annual Scientific Session 2022.

Tranexamic acid curbs bleeding in noncardiac surgery

20 Apr 2022 by

Using the antifibrinolytic tranexamic acid (TXA) during noncardiac surgery significantly reduces bleeding without significant increases in vascular complications in patients at risk for these complications, according to the POISE-3* trial presented at ACC 2022.

Real-time EHR-based alerts optimize treatment for heart failure

20 Apr 2022 by

The use of the electronic health record (EHR) to provide timely, personalized clinical decision support alerts can improve the adoption of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in the outpatient setting, as shown in the results of the PROMPT-HF trial presented at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) meeting.
