LV myocardial strain reference values from CT show sex-based differences in healthy adults, offering clinicians clearer guidance for interpreting cardiac imaging.

Parents of children with common neurodevelopmental disorders may face a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, potentially due to caregiving-related stressors.

Median DAH90 was 0 days in both cohorts (median difference: 0; 95% CI: 0–0; p=0.75), indicating that HFNOT did not improve recovery time or reduce the need for additional support.

In this study of 72,751 adults without prior heart failure or myocardial infarction, researchers used automated imaging analysis to extract over 1,600 radiomic features from epicardial fat captured during coronary CT angiography.

Placental abruption linked to increased cardiovascular disease risk in offspring, with effects lasting into adulthood.

These findings suggest that pulmonary arterial hypertension directly disrupts brain homeostasis, potentially driving early neurological damage.

Genetic deletion or pharmacological depletion of NK cells reduced cardiomyocyte death, limited inflammation, and improved cardiac function.

The oral PCSK9 inhibitor achieved a mean LDL-C reduction of -64.6% from baseline, substantially outperforming bempedoic acid (-6.3%), ezetimibe (-27.8%), and combination therapy (-36.5%).
