The DORIAN GRAY project, an ambitious new initiative funded by the European Union (EU), aims to identify the connection between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to improve healthy aging and survival.1 Spearheaded by the University of Brescia, ...
In this Q&A, we talk to Dr Nadia Chaher shares insights into her career so far, her experiences and the most exciting current innovations in cardio-imaging.
At #ACVC2025 in Florence, a study on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) highlighted the importance of early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Researchers found that rapid CPR initiation, rather than the type of rescuer, significantly impacts survival outcomes. Delays in return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) led to higher mortality risks.

This achievement marks a notable increase from last year’s Impact Factor of 0.2 and highlights the journal’s growing influence in the cardiology field.
A recent study has uncovered a significant association between residential exposure to transportation noise and the risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF). The study, published in The Lancet Regional Health - Europe reveals that individuals exposed to elevated levels of road traffic noise face a 2% increase in the risk of AF for every 10-decibel rise in noise exposure. Notably, this risk was amplified among women and those with higher body mass indices, underscoring the need for heightened awareness of environmental health risks.
A recent study by Ryan Woltzand colleagues from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (CA, USA) in PNAS reveals that phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) plays a critical role in regulating small-conductance Ca²+-activated K⁺ (SK2) channels by disrupting a key salt bridge that modulates channel activation. This discovery not only enhances our understanding of ion channel dynamics but also holds significant promise for the development of targeted therapies for atrial fibrillation (AF).
