Diabetes mellitus has been completely cured for the first time in the world
Diabetes mellitus has been completely cured for the first time in the world For the first time, scientists transplanted stem cells into a woman with type 1 diabetes, after which she began to produce her own insulin. This is the world's first case of treatment using cells taken from the patient's body.

Cancer Identified as a New Cardiovascular Risk Factor
Cancer Identified as a New Cardiovascular Risk Factor A history of cancer is an independent predictor of major cardiovascular events in patients undergoing coronary angioplasty. Cancer should be considered a new cardiovascular risk factor in primary and secondary prevention.


Management of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
Management of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a disease characterised by fibrofatty replacement of the ventricular myocardium due to specific mutations, leading to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Treating this condition can be challenging due to progressive fibrosis, phenotypic variations and small patient cohorts limiting the feasibility of conducting meaningful clinical trials.


Mortality Still Significant in High-Risk PE Despite Advances
Mortality Still Significant in High-Risk PE Despite Advances 1 in 5 patients with high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) and more than 2 in 5 with catastrophic PE with hemodynamic collapse die in the hospital, a large contemporary analysis showed.


ECG Deep-Learning Algorithm Predicts Mortality Post Surgery
ECG Deep-Learning Algorithm Predicts Mortality Post Surgery Algorithm interpreting preoperative ECGs can identify risk for postoperative death in those undergoing cardiac surgery, noncardiac surgery, and interventional procedures, a large new study showed. The algorithm was more effective in identifying high-risk patients who went on to experience postoperative mortality than a widely used risk tool.


FDA Approves First Pulsed Field Ablation System for AF
FDA Approves First Pulsed Field Ablation System for AF The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the PulseSelect Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) System (Medtronic) for the treatment of both paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), the manufacturer has announced.


A Synopsis of the Evidence for the Science and Clinical Management of Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome
A Synopsis of the Evidence for the Science and Clinical Management of Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome A growing appreciation of the pathophysiological interrelatedness of metabolic risk factors such as obesity and diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease has led to the conceptualization of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome. The confluence of metabolic risk factors and chronic kidney disease within cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome is strongly linked to risk for adverse cardiovascular and kidney outcomes.

ACC/AHA Issue Updated Atrial Fibrillation Guideline
ACC/AHA Issue Updated Atrial Fibrillation Guideline The American College of Cardiology (ACC), the American Heart Association (AHA), the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP), and the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) have issued an updated guideline for preventing and optimally managing atrial fibrillation (AF).
