Trial reports first successful results for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Empagliflozin reduces the risk of a composite of cardiovascular death or hospitalisation for heart failure in patients with heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) with or…
Screening for atrial fibrillation could reduce risk of stroke
Screening for atrial fibrillation in 75- and 76-year-olds could reduce the risk of stroke, severe bleeding and death, according to a study at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden that…
Trial does not support early coronary angiography in cardiac arrest without ST elevation
Early coronary angiography in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients without ST-segment elevation is not superior to a delayed/selective approach, according to late breaking research presented at ESC Congress…
Continuous heart rhythm monitoring and treatment if indicated does not prevent stroke
Continuous heart rhythm monitoring – with anticoagulation if atrial fibrillation is detected – does not prevent strokes in those at risk. That’s the finding of late breaking research…
Carotid artery surgery and stenting have similar long-term effects on stroke
Carotid artery surgery and stenting have comparable long-term effects on fatal or disabling stroke in asymptomatic patients with severe carotid artery stenosis. The research presented was presented at…
