Clinical Considerations for the Care of the Tactical Athlete With Cardiovascular Abnormalities: A Scientific Statement From the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association
Offers structured fit-for-duty guidance for tactical athletes; extends prior competitive sports cardiology frameworks to military, law enforcement, and firefighter populations.
RCT · n=1,3071 mentions
SEP 3ZiStroke
Ticagrelor-aspirin improves 90-day functional outcomes ~21% vs placebo in stroke patients with multiple acute infarcts.
May support ticagrelor-aspirin for functional benefit in multiple-infarct stroke after thrombolysis; extends TAPIS but remains hypothesis-generating pending confirmation.

SEP 4LopesJournal of Medical Genetics
Top 5% polygenic risk score linked to ~219% higher HCM diagnosis risk versus lower 95%.
May support PRS for HCM risk stratification; extends prior GWAS to SCD prediction in sarcomere-negative cases.

SEP 4VenemaEuropean Heart Journal - Digital Health
Automated deep learning echo interpretation matches manual analysis for HFpEF diagnostic accuracy.
Automated scoring may match manual HFpEF diagnostic accuracy; extends deep learning echo validation but leaves prospective adoption open.

SEP 4YassinCardiology in Review
PCI fails to reduce all-cause death versus conservative management in TAVI candidates with CAD.
PCI confers no mortality benefit in TAVI candidates with CAD; challenges routine revascularization and supports selective deferral.

SEP 3MuñozEP Europace
Balloon-in-basket PFA achieves ~92% durable PVI, with comparable results between EAM and fluoroscopy-only guidance.
Supports fluoroscopy-only pulsed-field ablation for durable PVI; confirms no added benefit from electroanatomic mapping in this RCT.
meta-analysis · n=4551 mentions
SEP 3ZhangPacing and Clinical Electrophysiology
Impaired early post-implant GLS is linked to subsequent development of PICM.
Impaired early post-implant GLS may flag higher PICM risk; leaves open whether strain-guided interventions improve outcomes.
meta-analysis · n=129,7771 mentions
SEP 3EisaActa Diabetologica
Higher load-capacity index linked to ~17% greater cardiometabolic disease risk.
May enhance cardiometabolic risk stratification beyond traditional factors; extends evidence from 18 cohorts but requires prospective validation.

SEP 3FujikiCirculation Reports
Prospective NiCARDIA registry evaluates long-term functional trajectories in adults hospitalized with cardiovascular disease.
NiCARDIA may delineate functional trajectories in Japanese CVD patients; hypothesis-generating until linked analyses complete.

SEP 7AmeriEuropean Heart Journal
Quality standards for preclinical research in cardio-oncology
These standards should raise preclinical cardio-oncology research quality; extends consensus by defining essential versus desirable benchmarks for models.
