The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has published its first dedicated clinical practice guidelines on cardiac rehabilitation, calling for rehabilitation to be considered a core component of care across a broader range of cardiovascular conditions. Published in the European Heart ...
Prof. Maria Bäck discusses the first dedicated ESC Guidelines on cardiac rehabilitation, why personalization and multidisciplinary care are central to their recommendations, and the importance of increasing referral to rehabilitation programs.
Dr Bjarne Nes discusses findings from the NEXAF trial, which showed that a one-year exercise program reduced atrial fibrillation burden in patients with non-permanent AF.
New clinical guidelines, late-breaking trials, artificial intelligence, and an increasing focus on cardiometabolic and precision medicine are set to shape discussions at ESC Congress 2026 in Munich.
Native valve infective endocarditis (IE) is rare, with an incidence of 3–7 cases per 100,000 person-years.1,2 Cardiac structural complications from local infection extension include valvular destruction, peri-annular abscess and fistula formation. Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP) from IE is exceedingly rare, occurring in &...
A new World Heart Federation (WHF) Roadmap proposes a broader, more adaptable model of cardiac rehabilitation designed to support people with cardiovascular disease over the long term.
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in young adults (typically defined as individuals younger than 40 years) has emerged as an important yet under-recognized public health concern. Recent estimates suggest an incidence of approximately 1–4 cases per 100,000 person-years, underscoring the clinical and epidemiological relevance ...
Harnessing AI in Preventive Cardiology: ASPC Introduce new Working Group on AI and Health Technology
The ASPC launches a new working group to guide the safe, evidence-based integration of AI and digital health technologies into preventive cardiology practice - we spoke to co-Chair Dr Ashish Sarraju about the state of artificial intelligence and health technology and the group's concerns plans for the future.
Heart failure (HF) is a complex and progressive clinical syndrome that significantly impacts morbidity, mortality and quality of life (QoL).1 On a global scale, HF has become an escalating public health concern, affecting more than 64 million individuals in 2017, and this ...
Heart failure (HF) is a global health burden, with a 2019 prevalence of 711.90 per 100,000 population, totalling 56.19 million cases and 5.05 million years lived with disability, despite only modest declines since 1990.1 Recent years have shown an uptick in prevalence, driven by ageing populations ...
Mental health disorders are highly prevalent in patients with cardiovascular disease, and Dr Héctor Bueno underscores the need for systematic screening, multidisciplinary “psycho-cardio” teams and stronger evidence to guide integrated care and future guidelines.
Functional status refers to an individual’s ability to carry out different levels of activities to meet the needs of daily living.1 Patients with heart failure (HF) commonly have poor functional status that is affected by a number of physical, ...
Bradycardia, renal failure, atrioventricular nodal blockade, shock and hyperkalemia (BRASH) syndrome is a rare, often unrecognized but potentially life-threatening clinical entity that is characterized by the pentad of symptoms after which it is named. BRASH syndrome is seen most commonly ...
Vasovagal syncope is common, and while it is usually associated with a benign prognosis, it results in significant physical and psychological morbidity for affected individuals. Despite comprehensive understanding of the underlying pathophysiology, there have been few definitive therapeutic advances until ...
In individuals with heart failure (HF) who also have implanted cardioverter defibrillators and/or cardiac resynchronisation therapy (ICD/CRT) devices, low daily physical activity (PA) levels lead to increased risk of mortality, poor aerobic capacity and lower health-related quality of ...
Dr Mark Mills talks about his award winning AF Association Healthcare Pioneer project on exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation for patients with atrial fibrillation. Filmed at the AF Association Global AF Aware Week Parliamentary Event, November 2019 in partnership with Atrial Fibrillation Association.
Long-term follow-up of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) has confirmed a significant increase in cardiovascular events, long-term risk of stroke, heart failure and all-cause mortality (89% in those with AF compared to 27% in those without AF).1 Not only is AF associated ...
