✨ Key Finding: P16<sup>+</sup> cells promote adverse cardiac remodeling post-myocardial infarction via CCL8-mediated recruitment of cytotoxic CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells, leading to cardiomyocyte apoptosis.
✨ Key Finding: Early scar evaluation by LGE-CMR at 3 to 6 months post-VT ablation is strongly associated with long-term VT recurrence risk.
✨ Key Finding: Vitamin K antagonists remain essential for specific cardiac indications like mechanical heart valves and frailty in older patients, where DOAC benefits are uncertain.

✨ Key Finding: In higher-IVUS-use centers, IVUS-guided PCI significantly reduced major adverse cardiovascular events by 20% (HR 0.80) and target-lesion failure by 25% (HR 0.75).
✨ Key Finding: Long cTnT was superior to total cTnT for distinguishing troponin elevations due to myocardial infarction from those caused by atrial fibrillation (AUC 0.879 vs 0.783).
✨ Key Finding: Intensified anticoagulation improved clinical outcomes in a 71-year-old woman with coronary embolism and prosthetic valve thrombosis amid low-output cardiac dysfunction.
✨ Key Finding: A combination of strategies, including educational initiatives and digital health tools, may enhance the implementation of guideline-recommended lipid-lowering therapies.
✨ Key Finding: Targeting glycolytic remodeling and mitochondrial dysfunction may transform calcific aortic valve disease management from surgery to early prevention and precision medicine.
✨ Key Finding: CMR measures of myocardial ECV and late gadolinium enhancement distinguished low burden ATTR CA from disease mimickers with AUC of 0.99 and 0.97, respectively.
✨ Key Finding: Access to cardiovascular imaging in low and middle-income countries is essential to reduce delayed diagnoses and manage chronic conditions effectively in order to lower mortality rates.
