Europe loses 1.7 million lives each year to cardiovascular disease, a burden that costs billions and affects millions more. The Safe Hearts Plan sets out an ambitious shift toward prevention, earlier detection and recognition of lifelong genetic risk. As expectations rise, debate is already growing over whether the strategy can translate bold goals into measurable improvements in care and outcomes across the EU.
Cardiovascular medicine continues to advance at a remarkable pace, driven by innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration and an ever-deepening understanding of disease mechanisms. As patient populations age and chronic conditions become increasingly complex, the field stands at the intersection of precision therapy, ...
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a fat collection directly adjacent to the myocardium and coronary vasculature, lacking any separation and sharing the same circulation.1,2 This anatomy enables direct signalling between EAT and the surrounding tissue, positioning EAT as a central ...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality throughout the world.1,2 While traditional risk factors are managed intensively, many individuals continue to have considerable residual risk, and emerging factors such as inflammatory mediators are being ...
Despite advancements in mortality rates from cardiovascular disease (CVD) over the last 50 years, it remains the leading cause of death for women and the third leading cause for women aged 18 to 44.1 A 2011 report from the American Heart Association (AHA) starkly ...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to be the primary cause of mortality and morbidity globally with middle-aged women presenting with additional and possibly, overlooked risk factors.1 Despite several awareness programmes, there remain several gaps in the political education and representation needs ...
Summary Few clinical studies have shown an association between coronary artery disease (CAD) and osteoporosis. This cross-sectional study has shown that, among Indian postmenopausal women, the prevalence of CAD increases across lower bone mineral density categories. Femoral neck osteoporosis confers ...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to be the leading cause of death on a global scale. Nearly 18 million people died from CVD in 2019, accounting for about one-third of all deaths globally.1 The primary cause of CVD-related death and morbidity is ischaemic ...
With the global increase in life expectancy, the proportion of elderly people in the community is expected to increase gradually. This is referred to as the 'Coming of the Gray Dawn' or the 'Gray Wave', and highlights the need for ...
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remains the leading cause of mortality both in the US and worldwide.1 There is substantial evidence from genetic, observational and interventional studies that low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is causally related to the development of ASCVD in ...
Highlights Failure to target and deliver durable radiofrequency lesions to all functionally critical areas has been identified as an important cause of ventricular tachycardia recurrence and is particularly challenging in deep midmyocardial or very extensive substrate where point-by-point radiofrequency ablation ...
The systemic amyloidoses are a group of heterogenous diseases, which are characterized by the deposition of insoluble amyloid fibrils within the extracellular matrix of multiple organs throughout the body. Amyloid fibrils are formed from the misfolding of amyloid precursor proteins (...
Despite improved treatment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of death and disability worldwide.1 Treatment of traditional risk factors, mainly low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, is the foundation of atherosclerotic risk reduction. However, a considerable ...
Drug-eluting technology is a widely accepted, proven treatment for coronary artery stenosis and occlusions, with superior results when compared with bare metal stents or plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA).1,2 Many studies also proved drug-eluting stents (DES) and drug-coated balloons (DCB) ...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia observed in clinical practice worldwide.1 The incidence of AF is around 0.1% in individuals under 55 years old and 9% in those aged over 80.2 The global prevalence of AF is estimated to be around 44 ...
The current outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), has developed into a worldwide pandemic affecting millions of lives in one way or another.1 Over the period of 1 year since the disease was first ...
There are several beneficial effects of statins on the progression of atherosclerosis, and there have been significant advancements in pharmacotherapies for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). However, substantial residual cardiovascular (CV) risk remains, and there is an unmet need to reduce ...
