Self-care, measured using the European Heart Failure Self-Care Behaviour Scale, improved significantly in the telemonitoring group compared with controls (p

PCI in TAVR patients who were frail was associated with a significantly higher risk of bleeding complications (hazard ratio: 2.51; 95% confidence interval: 1.23–5.11; p=0.011).

New findings from the Global Burden of Disease 2023 analysis showed that dietary risks were responsible for an estimated 4.06 million IHD deaths and 96.84 million disability-adjusted life years in 2023.

Non–procedure-related bleeding occurred in 10.9% of patients receiving left atrial appendage closure versus 19.0% of those on anticoagulants (hazard ratio: 0.55; 95% CI: 0.45–0.67; p

Notably, the HFpEF prevalence in this INOCA group reached 35.29%, meaning over one-third of patients met established diagnostic criteria.

Heart failure hospitalisation was associated with a markedly increased risk of death (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 6.11), far exceeding that of ACS (HR: 3.22) and major bleeding (HR: 2.62).

In patients with post-stroke disability, all-cause mortality more than doubled (HR:2.18; 95% CI:1.84–2.60; p

In the absence of cardiomyocyte TGFB3, the study observed increased expression of profibrotic mediators including connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and SERPINE1.
