A novel transdermal infrared spectrophotometric sensor (transdermal-ISS) worn on the wrist may be used for quick and noninvasive prediction of elevated high-sensitivity cardiac Troponin-I (hs-cTnI) in real world settings, according to a study presented at ACC 2023.

The use of bempedoic acid significantly reduced the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with high cholesterol who are intolerant to statins in the phase III CLEAR* Outcomes trial presented at ACC.23/WCC.

Non-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-conditional implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are effective at treating detected tachyarrhythmias after MRI, with no serious adverse effects on device function seen, reports a study.

A moderately restricted carbohydrate diet (MRCD) appears to yield favourable effects on several cardiometabolic risk factors, including weight and serum triglyceride, in women with metabolic syndrome (MetS), according to a study.

A treat-to-target low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) strategy of 50–70 mg/dL appears to be comparable to a high-intensity statin therapy in terms of preventing major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease, according to a study.

Greater carotid-femoral (CF) pulse-wave velocity (PWV) at baseline appears predictive of a smaller decrease in systolic ambulatory blood pressure (BP) following renal sympathetic denervation (RDN), a prospective, single-arm pilot study has shown.

Several methods of local arterial stiffness calculation produce generally the same results, reports a study. This suggests that the variety of these calculations do not lead to inconsistent findings.
