A nomogram incorporating thoracic aortic calcification and clinical factors accurately predicts early myocardial injury in breast cancer patients undergoing anticancer therapy.
Integrating LGE corridors and high-risk genotypes provides superior arrhythmic risk stratification compared to the traditional LVEF ≤35% threshold in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.
Cardiologist, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro de Majadahonda
These results reinforce the need to move toward a personalized risk assessment in dilated cardiomyopathy, integrating clinical, genetic, and advanced cardiac imaging information into decision-making.
Systematic review evaluates NT-proBNP against AI-enabled electrocardiography for acute heart failure in emergency departments, highlighting faster noninvasive diagnostic alternatives.
No significant AF risk with tirzepatide; leaves open arrhythmia signal for larger trials.
May support biopsy consideration in acute myocarditis; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
Prior domiciliary care flags high-mortality TAVI patients; leaves open whether frailty markers should refine selection or post-procedure support.
Advanced plaque imaging should not yet alter carotid stenosis risk stratification; the planned review leaves model performance open to systematic appraisal.
Prioritize self-care in heart failure education to improve HRQOL; confirms its causal mediation in this RCT.
Supports atrial cardiomyopathy evaluation in ESUS; extends LA strain evidence as a consistent marker independent of AF.
Does not support mHealth-CR to reduce readmissions in older IHD patients; challenges efficacy assumptions and extends null evidence on hard endpoints.
