Today I received "dr. Ane Mayer Kansky" award for the best PhD thesis in the field in Biomedicine & Biotechnology from the last student year in the University of Ljubljana in the attendance of the President of the Republic of Slovenia.

RT @EJPCEiC: ✅Lp(a) at the #AHA congress: no 💊 pharma yet on the HORIZON. So should we still screen it ? Does Knowing Lp(a) Change What We Do? See the debate in #EJPC ⤵️

RT @ESC_Journals: New in #EJPC: How much exercise is optimal for Atrial Fibrillation (AF) prevention? A meta-analysis of 1.3 million individuals reveals a U-shaped association, with the greatest benefit at 26 MET-h/week and increased AF odds beyond 78 MET-h/week. 🔗 @EJPCEiC @AboyansV @SilCastelletti @PTBuketAkinci @PeroneFrancesco @SMosteoru @TimKambic

RT @EJPCEiC: 💊 Lower inflammation, but no improvement in arterial stiffness. In the COHERENT trial, 6 months of colchicine significantly reduced hsCRP but did not improve arterial stiffness in patients with treated hypertension. 🔗

RT @ESC_Journals: 🫀 Beyond traditional risk factors: Does visceral fat drive residual cardiovascular risk? New in #EJPC: In 853 patients with premature CAD, higher visceral adipose tissue was associated with a 2.7-fold greater risk of recurrent cardiovascular events over 5 years, despite medical treatment. 🔗 @EJPCEiC @AboyansV @SilCastelletti @PTBuketAkinci @PeroneFrancesco @SMosteoru @TimKambic

RT @EJPCEiC: 🫀 From plaque formation to carotid stenosis: does lipoprotein(a) play a role? Elevated Lp(a) (≥50 mg/dL) to both plaque development and progression to significant carotid stenosis, highlighting its relevance across the atherosclerotic continuum. 🔗

RT @EJPCEiC: In patients with coronary heart disease, 150 min/wk of moderate-intensity physical activity was associated with 38% lower all-cause mortality. A dose–response meta-analysis of 176,862 patients highlights the benefits of low-to-moderate activity levels. 🔗

RT @vass_vassiliou: Drug-Coated Balloons vs Drug-Eluting Stents: What Does the Evidence Show? Our new meta-analysis of 10 RCTs (7,832 patients) led by @CorballisTash @TheLancet @eClinicalMed No difference in cardiovascular death or MI. But revasc may be higher. @NNUH

RT @ESC_Journals: New in #EJPC: Beyond one-size-fits-all cardiovascular prevention. A new review explores pathway-guided, patient-centered strategies targeting lipids, inflammation, thrombosis, and endothelial dysfunction to address residual risk and personalize treatment. 🔗

RT @EricTopol: In 100% agreement Exercise should be a prescribed New @JACCJournals @ACCinTouch scientific statement

RT @EJPCEiC: 🤰🫀 Hyperlipidaemia in pregnancy: physiology or cardiovascular risk? A timely review of peripartum lipid changes, maternal & fetal outcomes, treatment options, and key evidence gaps. 🔗

RT @EJPCEiC: Can targeting the gut microbiome improve cardiometabolic health early in life? 📊 Microbiome-targeted interventions reduced BMI z-score and CRP, with no significant changes in lipids, insulin resistance or blood pressure. 🔗

RT @pl_valenzuela: Now online! We summarize the evidence on resistance training (and torque training) for cyclists, and provide practical recommendations for its implementation. Open access link:

RT @ESC_Journals: New in #EJPC: Sport, exercise, and physical activity in children with cardiovascular disease. A Clinical Consensus Statement. 🫀🏃 A practical, individualised approach to exercise prescription for children and adolescents with cardiovascular disease. 🔗 @EJPCEiC @AboyansV @SilCastelletti @PTBuketAkinci @PeroneFrancesco @SMosteoru @TimKambic

RT @EJPCEiC: ♀️ Do reproductive factors shape cardiovascular risk after menopause? This study found that later menopause was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular events, while evidence for other reproductive factors remains limited or uncertain. 🔗

RT @ACCinTouch: 🆕 ACC Scientific Statement in #JACC: A healthy dietary pattern matters more than any single nutrient or food for heart health. 🫀 🔗 Read more: #cvPrev #ACCPrev @JACCJournals

RT @EJPCEiC: This systematic review and meta-analysis suggests that LDL-C-lowering therapies may offer a greater benefit in preventing first-time MI compared with recurrent MI 📖 @escardio @AboyansV @SilCastelletti @PeroneFrancesco @PTBuketAkinci @SMosteoru @TimKambic

RT @ESC_Journals: New study in EJPC: What role does psychological stress play in atrial fibrillation? From molecular mechanisms to citizen science, this review explores stress as a potential trigger and modifier of AF—and an emerging target for personalized prevention and holistic care. Read this: @EJPCEiC @AboyansV @SilCastelletti @PTBuketAkinci @PeroneFrancesco @SMosteoru @TimKambic

RT @EJPCEiC: In this population-based cohort, standard modifiable CV risk factors status significantly impacted long-term but not short-term mortality following MI 📖 @escardio @AboyansV @SilCastelletti @PeroneFrancesco @PTBuketAkinci @SMosteoru @TimKambic

RT @NatureRevEndo: New content online: The causes of cachexia: key signals and the brain

RT @EJPCEiC: Younger age at first diagnosis is strongly associated with lower risk of subsequent events in patients with cerebrovascular disease (stroke) and in women with peripheral artery disease or abdominal aortic aneurysm 📖 @escardio @AboyansV @SilCastelletti
