Beta-blocker therapy following myocardial infarction (MI) reduces the risk of death in patients with comorbid chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), with the magnitude of benefit similar to that observed in patients without COPD, according to a Danish cohort study.

Early rhythm control (ERC) is a safe and effective strategy to prevent cardiovascular (CV) events in patients with a recent diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and stroke risk factors with or without chronic kidney disease (CKD), according to a secondary analysis of the EAST-AFNET 4 trial.

Undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) results in improvements in angina symptoms beyond placebo in patients with symptomatic single-vessel coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO), according to a study.

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) achieves greater symptom improvement in focal vs diffuse coronary artery disease (CAD), as shown in the ORBITA-2 study.

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) performs better than optical medical therapy (OMT) in improving quality of life (QoL), angina frequency, and the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) summary score in patients with a single chronic total coronary occlusion (CTO), reports a study.

Patients with diabetes mellitus, heart failure, or chronic kidney disease treated with sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have a reduced risk of mortality from cardiovascular and renal causes, according to a study.

Alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking interact to modify the risk of chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI), the most severe form of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in a local cohort, as suggested in a study. Specifically, low-to-moderate drinking is protective among individuals who do not smoke, whereas any level of drinking contributes to a risk increase among smokers.
