Clopidogrel a feasible alternative to aspirin in post-PCI maintenance phase

03 May 2026

The use of clopidogrel for long-term antiplatelet monotherapy during the maintenance phase after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) results in reduced adverse cardiovascular and bleeding outcomes compared with aspirin, as shown in the secondary analysis of the HOST-EXAM study.

Invasive strategy for frail older patients with NSTEMI may do more harm than good

01 May 2026

In the treatment of frail older patients with non–ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), an invasive strategy does not appear to provide additional benefit compared with a conservative strategy and may even contribute to an increased risk of harm in those at the highest levels of frailty, according to the secondary analysis of the SENIOR-RITA trial.

Triple therapy controls hypertension, dyslipidaemia

30 Apr 2026 by

Triple therapy with angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)/amlodipine + rosuvastatin significantly reduces blood pressure (BP) and cholesterol levels in patients with hypertension and dyslipidaemia compared with dual therapies involving ARBs/amlodipine or ARBs + rosuvastatin, according to a recent study.

Residential greenness may protect against post-COVID ischaemic heart disease

29 Apr 2026

Exposure to residential greenness in COVID-19 survivors appears to reduce the risk of chronic ischaemic heart disease but not that of acute coronary events, as reported in a cohort study from South Korea.

Prepregnancy hypertension linked to negative IVF outcomes

26 Apr 2026 by

Among women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, those who have stage 1 or 2 hypertension prior to the initiation of ovarian stimulation may have reduced chances of a live birth and increased risks of pregnancy complications, according to a large retrospective study.

AI-based tool helps identify sudden cardiac death in EHR

26 Apr 2026 by

The use of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based tool results in a 31-percent enhanced precision in sudden cardiac death (SCD) phenotyping in electronic heart records (EHR), a recent study has shown.

Radiofrequency vs pulsed field ablation: Which approach results in fewer stroke/TIA events?

25 Apr 2026 by

A single-centre study has found a significantly higher incidence of stroke and transient ischaemic attacks (TIA) within 30 days among patients who underwent pulsed field ablation (PFA) relative to those who received radiofrequency ablation (RFA).
