Forecasting the Burden of Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke in Women in the United States Through 2050: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
✨ Key Finding: The prevalence of hypertension in adult women is projected to rise from 48.6% in 2020 to 59.1% in 2050, alongside increases in diabetes and obesity.
Intravenous Amiodarone in Preexcited Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review
✨ Key Finding: In patients with preexcited AF, intravenous amiodarone was associated with a VF risk of only 0.12% to 0.68%, suggesting it may be a safe alternative in resource-limited settings.
“A new review evaluates IV amiodarone use and safety in pre-excited AF and assesses real-world availability of IV antiarrhythmics for acute management of pre-excited AF in Latin America @WFMMD @shyla_gupta @amin_meghdadi @drjosellorente @adribaran https://t.co/u0b0aGu6HM”
NURSE-Led Care in Patients Undergoing Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation: The NURSECAT-AF Randomized Trial
✨ Key Finding: Nurse-led care for patients undergoing AF ablation improved quality of life by +4 points and reduced arrhythmia recurrences and emergency visits by 80%.
“Structured nurse-led intervention in AF ablation improves HRQoL, reduces the presentations with AF, and boosts outcomes @TillAlthoff @ivroca @aportasanchez @EduGuasch @guichard_jb @LluisMont2 @albacaramel https://t.co/J3xoBXT4vF https://t.co/70pjrw5aFB”

Timeless therapeutics: cardiac indications for vitamin K antagonists in clinical practice
✨ 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.
Genotype-Guided P2Y 12 -Inhibitor De-Escalation Strategy in Acute Coronary Syndrome: Observational Evidence From the POPular-GUIDE PCI
✨ Key Finding: Genotype-guided de-escalation to clopidogrel in ACS patients reduced bleeding risk to 12.1% compared to 15.9% in standard care (HR 0.79, P=0.01) without increasing ischemic events.
Long Troponin T to Separate Troponin Elevations Among Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Versus Myocardial Infarction
✨ 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).
Long‐Term Clinical Outcomes of Acute Myocardial Infarction Based on Institutional Experience With IVUS
✨ 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).
Heightened Risk of Myocardial Ischemia With Mental Stress Among Black Women Survivors of a Myocardial Infarction in Midlife
✨ Key Finding: Black women with recent myocardial infarction had a 2.2 times higher risk of mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia compared to Black men.
Persistent Sex Disparities in Pre‐Hospital Delay Among Patients With STEMI Despite Overall Improvements: Findings From the Chinese Cardiovascular Association Chest Pain Center Registry
✨ Key Finding: Women with STEMI experienced a median pre-hospital delay of 170 minutes, 24.44 minutes longer than men, with disparities persisting despite overall improvements.
Sex Differences in Outcomes of Young Adults Hospitalized With First Myocardial Infarction From 2011 to 2022
✨ Key Finding: In-hospital mortality increased for first STEMI among young adults by 1.2%, with young women having higher mortality than young men (3.1% vs 2.6%).
