    RT @Gurleen_Kaur96: ZEUS trial at AHA #ScientificSessions26 No difference in the primary endpoint with IL6 inhibitor ziltivekimab ‼️ Why? -High risk population so perhaps advanced disease less modifiable -Maybe we need to move upstream in pathway to find right target 🔗

    RT @echo_stepbystep: 2026 ESC @escardio HF Guidelines: MRAs (including finerenone) have a Class I/A recommendation for HFpEF. Yet Germany’s G-BA found no proven added benefit over optimized care. FINEARTS-HF: fewer first HF hospitalizations (HR 0.86), no significant mortality benefit. Why the gap?

    RT @bradleymaronmd: Editor’s Note Dr. Eugene Braunwald, who passed away in April, had a transformative impact on cardiovascular medicine. This week’s @CircAHA, published ahead of AHA Scientific Sessions, commemorates his academic footprint in a few different ways. First, @DrM_ODonoghue sets the stage for 7 chapters spearheaded by Dr. Braunwald that changed the course of cardiovascular diseases, with lasting impact even to this day: the academic medicine framework, mentorship, acute myocardial infarction, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, heart failure, preventive medicine, and a basic scientific synthesis. Second, we showcase his collaborative footprint using a publication network, which illustrates the totality of Dr. Braunwald’s scientific legacy over time.

    Guidelines increasingly recommend routine Lp(a) testing, yet in practice, testing rates remain low worldwide. Why the gap? 🤔 A global working group of IAS experts, led by @brettsmansfield, MBBCh, MSc, wants to find out. Their new survey explores how health care professionals understand, assess and manage Lp(a), with the goal of identifying the educational and implementation gaps that future interventions can address. 🎟️ Complete the survey for a chance to win free registration to ISA 2027 in Santiago, Chile! 📅 Deadline: 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟯𝟭 → @TheMMDWin, @TAbebe19

    Hot off the press #EHJCVI @EHJCVIEiC 🔥This retrospective study enrolled patients with HFmrEF who were referred for echocardiography and CMR at two tertiary medical centers from April 2016 to September 2024 🔥 The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause mortality, HF-related hospitalization and cardiac transplantation 🔥The findings were validated in a cohort of patients with HFmrEF enrolled from two additional tertiary care centers (January 2019 to January 2025) 🔥The development cohort included 1317 patients, and the validation cohort comprised 385 patients 🔥During a median follow-up period of 2.8 years and 2.1 years, respectively, 243 and 72 patients in the development cohort and validation cohort reached the primary endpoint, respectively 🔥Cox regression analysis showed that RA conduit strain was an independent predictor of the primary outcome (HR: 0.86 [0.82, 0.90]; P < .001) 📒RA conduit strain derived from CMR is an independent predictor of adverse outcomes in patients with HFmrEF, providing incremental prognostic value beyond traditional clinical and imaging-derived risk markers @ESC_Journals @escardio @saramoscatelli7 @VikashJaiswalMD @rafavidalperez @denisamuraru @VictoriaDe32503

    RT @EHJIMPEiC: Papillary fibroelastoma is a rare primary cardiac tumour with benign histology. Despite its benign nature, it can lead to serious complications, including thromboembolism, stroke, myocardial infarction, and dynamic coronary obstruction. This review at #EHJ-IMP highlights how multimodality imaging supports diagnosis and clinical management: 🔹 Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) serves as an important initial imaging test. 🔹 Transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) provides improved spatial and temporal resolution, helping define tumour mobility, attachment, stalk morphology, and relationships with nearby structures. 🔹 Cardiac CT offers detailed anatomical information and helps assess the tumour’s relationship with the cardiac valves, coronary arteries, and surrounding anatomy. 🔹 Cardiac MRI contributes to tissue characterisation and may help differentiate papillary fibroelastoma from other cardiac masses. 🔗 @VikashJaiswalMD @EHJIMPEiC @JGrapsa #EHJImaging #Cardiology #CardiacImaging #MultimodalityImaging #Echocardiography #CardiacCT #CardiacMRI #PapillaryFibroelastoma #CardioEd #CardioTwitter.
