Local coronary inflammation was associated with greater risk of adverse cardiovascular events after PCI than systemic inflammation alone.

Long-term LVAD therapy was linked to progressive coagulation changes and hypocoagulability in patients with advanced heart failure.

Coronary artery disease analysis finds similar mortality between CABG and PCI, but fewer adverse events and repeat procedures with CABG.

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.
