Acute HF patients with frailty respond favourably to SGLT2 inhibitor therapy

08 Aug 2026 by

Initiation of sodium–glucose cotransporter‐2 (SGLT2) inhibitor therapy upon hospital discharge is associated with improved clinical outcomes among patients with acute heart failure (HF), especially those with frailty, according to the West Tokyo Heart Failure 2 (WET‐HF 2) registry in Japan.

ASCVD affects 1 in 6 adults with β-thalassaemia; etopivat shows promise

04 Aug 2026 by

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) affects a substantial proportion of adults with β-thalassaemia. It appears to be driven by conventional CV risk factors rather than disease-specific features, according to research presented at EHA2026.

IBD tied to higher risks of MACE, recurrent MI, all-cause mortality

03 Aug 2026

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at increased risks of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), all-cause mortality, recurrent myocardial infarction (MI), blood transfusions, and major bleeding relative to those without IBD, a study has found.

Cumulative LDIR exposure elevates hypertension risk

23 Jul 2026

Constant exposure to occupational low-dose ionizing radiation (LDIR) appears to contribute to hypertension and elevated blood pressure among medical radiologists, with a clear dose-response relationship, suggests a study.

Optimizing CKD care: Early detection and GDMT improve outcomes

23 Jul 2026 by

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a noncommunicable disease with increasing importance. Its pathophysiology interacts with cardiovascular (CV) and metabolic diseases, and extends to other neurological and respiratory disorders with clinically significant interplay. Despite its growing global burden, CKD remains underdiagnosed and undertreated. At a symposium in Hong Kong, a multidisciplinary panel highlighted the urgent need for earlier identification of CKD, integrated CV-kidney-metabolic (CKM) care, and timely implementation of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) — including sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i; eg, dapagliflozin) — to slow progression toward kidney failure and reduce CKD-related complications.

Abbreviated DAPT found safe in high-risk patients undergoing PCI

22 Jul 2026

In patients at high risk of bleeding who are undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), abbreviated dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) durations, especially 3-month regimens, reduces bleeding events without increasing the risk of fatal or nonfatal ischaemic cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events when compared with standard DAPT durations, according to a meta-analysis.
