Bereavement is associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk, with stronger associations observed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

MRI-derived LACI improves sudden cardiac death risk prediction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, adding value beyond ESC guideline models.

The findings revealed a significantly higher abundance of an Eubacterium species, with 100% sequence similarity to Eubacterium liposum, in patients with CHD compared with both control and hyperlipidaemia groups.

Study finds PD-1 inhibitors increase heart failure risk, particularly in patients with prior ischaemic heart disease, supported by preclinical and clinical data.

Researchers found that individuals with both depression and no engagement in vigorous physical activity (VPA) faced the highest risk of cardiometabolic multimorbidity (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.93).

Model interpretability analysis identified HFpEF status and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels as the most influential predictors of adverse outcomes.

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.
