Elevated HFpEF-ABA scores linked to ~141% higher risk of death or HF hospitalization.
The HFpEF-ABA score provides moderate diagnostic discrimination for HFpEF and identifies outpatients with type 2 diabetes at high risk for adverse clinical outcomes.

With the new, simple scoring system, 'We are able to screen and effectively identify patients with a high probability of HFpEF at the population level.' We're tapping into an opportunity to elevate the standard of care, and it will change the paradigm for diagnosis for better identification of HFpEF at the community level.

A ≥25% increase in NT-proBNP over 5 years is linked to ~73% higher all-cause mortality.
May aid risk stratification via serial NT-proBNP in Asian adults; extends trajectory data but remains hypothesis-generating.

Hospital GWTG-HF participation is linked to ~0.15-point higher 90-day post-discharge GDMT scores versus non-participating hospitals.
GWTG-HF participation was associated with higher post-discharge GDMT scores; leaves open whether quality programs improve outcomes in HFrEF.

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.

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.

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.

Cervical disc arthroplasty RCTs report ~300% higher ACDF reoperation rates than observational studies at mid-term.
Systematic review and meta-analysis reveals higher ACDF reoperation and pseudoarthrosis rates in CDA trials versus observational cohorts, suggesting study design impacts reported fusion outcomes.

Center-based Phase II cardiac rehabilitation yields greater quality of life improvements than home-based rehabilitation.
Center-based Phase II rehab may be prioritized post-CABG for greater QoL gains; extends RCT evidence favoring supervised over home-based programs.

Henagliflozin reduces LVMI by ~5 g/m2 vs placebo in dialysis patients with HFpEF.
Supports henagliflozin to reduce LV mass in dialysis HFpEF; extends SGLT2 inhibitor evidence to end-stage kidney disease.
