Narrative review on ultra-processed foods and cardiovascular disease mechanisms
How Your Food Choices Rewire Your Heart Signals
This narrative review synthesizes evidence on ultra-processed foods and cardiovascular disease.
Ultra-processed foods may send bad signals to your heart cells by changing the tiny messages they use to stay healthy.
Stellate ganglion modulation alters ventricular arrhythmic vulnerability in myocardial infarction simulation models
Your Heart's Hidden Wiring May Trigger Dangerous Rhythms After a Heart Attack
This simulation study utilized 14 patient-specific ventricular models to assess stellate ganglion-mediated sympathetic modulation.
Stress nerves near the heart can silently raise the risk of dangerous rhythms long after a heart attack heals and scans look stable.
FFR-guided complete revascularization reduces unplanned revascularization in MI patients with multivessel CAD
Complete Heart Repair May Stop Future Emergencies
A meta-analysis of 3,054 patients with myocardial infarction and multivessel coronary artery disease found that FFR-guided complete revascul…
Fixing all blocked heart arteries during surgery may stop future emergencies and unplanned procedures for patients with heart attacks.
Beta-blocker discontinuation noninferior to continuation in stable post-MI patients without heart failure
Stable heart attack patients may safely stop beta-blockers after one year, study finds
A randomized, open-label, noninferiority trial in 2540 stable post-MI patients with LVEF ≥40% and no heart failure who had received beta-blo…
Stable heart attack patients who stop beta-blockers after a year face similar risks to those who keep taking them, according to a major stud…
Early Aspirin Withdrawal Post-PCI Reduces Bleeding, No MI Increase with P2Y12 Monotherapy
Could Stopping Aspirin Early Help Heart Patients Avoid Bleeding Risks?
Meta-analysis shows early aspirin withdrawal (≤3 months) post-PCI with ticagrelor/prasugrel reduces bleeding (HR=0.55, 95% CI [0.42, 0.71]; …
Stopping aspirin within three months after a heart procedure reduces bleeding risk without increasing heart attack chances for many patients…
