1-month dual therapy noninferior with less bleeding after PCI in AF; extends abbreviated DAT evidence for this population.

Cardiologist, University of Osaka Graduate School of Medicine
Patients with atrial fibrillation who receive a stent may only need 1 month of dual antithrombotic therapy, instead of 1 year. This shorter treatment is just as effective and much safer in terms of bleeding.
Randomized trial evaluates the prognosis of recurrent thromboembolism in cancer patients on apixaban, suggesting important treatment considerations.

Professor, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute
Exciting results presented by Prof Isabelle Mahé at the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) 2026 Congress in Paris, with simultaneous publication in Circulation. Key findings from this pre-specified ancillary analysis of the API-CAT trial include: Recurrent VTE during extended apixaban therapy was uncommon, occurring in only 2.5% of 1,766 patients over 12 months.
Warrants individualized exercise regimens for high-risk groups; leaves open optimal protocols pending targeted trials.

Supports deprescribing assessment in CVD polypharmacy across ages; extends prior evidence beyond older adults to the full lifespan.

Comparative outcomes of T-TEER versus TTVA remain limited; leaves open optimal repair strategy in secondary TR.

These findings highlight the importance of procedural safety and durable TR reduction, while underscoring the complexity of translating procedural success into early clinical benefit and the need for longer-term evaluation.
Influenza vaccination was associated with lower incident AF risk; supports hypothesis generation but should not yet change practice.

...these findings support consideration of influenza vaccination as part of comprehensive cardiovascular and [AFib] prevention strategies in routine care.
Randomized trial assesses the impact of the 2026 dyslipidemia guideline on statin eligibility in US adults, indicating significant increases in eligible populations.
Expert consensus calls for mandatory enhanced radiation protection in fluoroscopy labs, highlighting safety and regulatory needs.
Cross-sectional study examines LDL-C levels exceeding guidelines in adults, indicating important health implications.
Sarcopenic obesity indexing on routine CMR may refine risk stratification; leaves open whether targeting it improves outcomes.

[Sarcopenic obesity] is emerging as a systemic cardiometabolic phenotype linking ageing, impaired muscle biology, heart failure vulnerability and frailty. By enabling scalable opportunistic quantification of muscle mass from routine CMR, Sanghvi et al., provide proof of concept that deep learning...
