Data show substantially reductions in cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, revascularization, and cardiovascular death following fixed-dose combination treatment strategies.

Data show lower incidence of CV events following intensive treatment with a systolic blood pressure target of 110 to 130 mm Hg compared to standard treatment.

Data show oral anticoagulation following atrial fibrillation screening was initiated in 1036 participants, with 445 (29.7%) in the ILR group versus 591 (13.1%) in the control group.

Dr. Bhatt discusses the growing field of knowledge surrounding icosapent ethyl treatment in cardiovascular care.

Despite conflicting evidence surrounding older patient populations, investigators found no age-specific treatment effects on major cardiovascular outcomes.

Dr. Bhatt discusses a subgroup analysis of the REDUCE-IT to determine if icosapent ethyl reduced further ischemic events in patients with prior MI.

Investigators find that substitute salt better protects older people with a history of stroke or high blood pressure against secondary outcomes of cardiovascular events and death.

A recent study found no benefits of immediate angiography over a delayed or selective strategy with respect to the 30-day risk of death from any cause.

Incidence of death from cardiovascular causes was lower in the finerenone group (458 of 3686 patients) compared to the placebo group (519 of 3666 patients).

Net adverse clinical events occurred in 165 patients in the abbreviated-therapy group and 172 in the standard therapy group in patients at high bleeding risk after PCI.

The direct-acting oral anticoagulant benefitted prevention of adverse clinical events, but was associated with worse major bleeding.

Evolocumab and alirocumab produced LDL-C reduction in patients regardless of underlying mutations, investigators reported.

This underscores a need to reinvent cities and address environmental risk factors that are associated with increased risk for cardiovascular diseases.

Myocardial infarction patients were provided ECG readings as reliable as those provided by standard devices.

Studies have shown that heat-related cardiovascular events have increased over recent years.

New cohort data shows that at least 40% of COVID-19 positive patients had CV risk factors, such as diabetes and hypertension.

Dapagliflozin and empagliflozin are shown to minimize CV events in patients with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction.
