Lowering LDL-C with bempedoic acid in patients with complex clinical profiles: European experience and local cases

03 Jun 2026 by

LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) is the main driver of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), yet LDL-C control in high-risk patients remains far from optimal. At an industry-sponsored meeting, Professor Vivencio Barrios from Ramón y Cajal University Hospital, Spain, discussed the role of bempedoic acid in managing complex patients, while Dr Walter Wai-Chee Chen, Specialist in Cardiology in private practice in Hong Kong, shared local cases of bempedoic acid use in patients with mild-to-moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD) and complex clinical profiles.

Award-winning world-first nasal spray as prehospital emergency aid for ischaemic stroke

03 Jun 2026 by

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have developed the world’s first NanoPowder nasal spray for use as prehospital emergency treatment at the onset of an ischaemic stroke, which can potentially reduce brain damage by >80 percent and substantially increase stroke survival rates and neurological recovery, representing a significant advancement in stroke management globally.

Olive leaf extract plus potassium may have cardiometabolic protective effect

02 Jun 2026

The combination of olive leaf extract (OLE) and potassium appears to exert favourable effects on blood pressure (BP), lipid profile, oxidative status, and insulin sensitivity in individuals with mild to moderate BP elevation, according to a small study.

Heart failure more strongly associated with stroke in young vs older patients with AF

29 May 2026

Heart failure (HF) shows an age-dependent association with ischaemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), such that the association is more pronounced in young than older patients, as shown in the Finnish Anticoagulation in Atrial Fibrillation study.

Weight loss makes no difference in older patients with overweight and persistent AF

29 May 2026 by

In older patients with overweight and persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) referred for direct current cardioversion, an 8-month structured dietary weight loss and behavioural support program leads to a significant reduction in weight without inducing functional decline. However, this metabolic benefit does not translate into improvements in AF outcomes, according to the LOSE-AF trial.

Switching DOACs after a breakthrough stroke provides no additional benefit

28 May 2026 by

For patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who sustained an ischaemic stroke while receiving direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) therapy, switching to another anticoagulation agent does not yield significant improvements in most clinical outcomes compared with staying on the same agent, according to the results of an emulated target trial.

Morning coffee worsens exercise-induced haemostatic responses in sedentary men

27 May 2026

Drinking coffee in the morning appears to heighten the risk of stroke and cardiac events in people who exercise early. Findings from a recent study suggest that morning exercise causes a greater prothrombotic status than evening exercise, and this effect intensifies with acute caffeine intake.
