Heart failure (HF) remains a pressing health concern, with rising prevalence globally. Subjectivity and ambiguity in the definition of HF and its antecedent stages have limited research, global survei...
BACKGROUND: Valvular heart disease (VHD) is described in American guidelines as a progressive disease continuum: stage A (at-risk), stage B (progressive), stage C/D (severe). We aimed to identify freq...
BACKGROUND: Cardiac risk stratification protocols are widely used in cardiac rehabilitation programs, but divergent classifications limit their applicability. In 2020, the Brazilian Society of Cardiol...
BACKGROUND: In August 2025, the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology released updated hypertension guidelines. Under the new guidelines, therapy is advised at blood pressure ≥...
Current clinical practice guidelines for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease recommend risk assessment to align the type and intensity of preventive efforts with an individual's risk. The...
Cardiovascular medicine continues to move towards precision-based, individualised patient care, supported by novel biomarkers, refined imaging protocols, and multidisciplinary risk assessment. The stu...

This study evaluates the efficacy of a post-discharge follow-up program in patients recovering from acute heart failure (AHF) hospitalized in internal medicine (IM) and in cardiology (CA) wards. Patie...
Cross-sectional cardiac imaging including cardiac computed tomography (CCT) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) allows three-dimensional imaging of intracardiac and extracardiac structures. T...
The number of individuals engaging in sports continues to rise, and identifying those with cardiac substrates associated with increased risk of exercise-related adverse events is crucial. Athlete eval...
An Unprecedented Confluence of Science, Selfless Service, and the World Heart Federation's Mission of Cardiovascular Health for All On 29 September 2025, the World Heart Federation (WHF) marked the s...
AIM: The "2026 AHA/ACC/ADA/ASN Guideline for the Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Management of Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome" retires, replaces, and expands upon the "2013 AHA/ACC/TO...
Current clinical practice guidelines for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease recommend risk assessment to align the type and intensity of preventive efforts with an individual's risk. The...
BACKGROUND: Participation in the cardiac catheterization laboratory is a requirement of cardiology fellowship training. We sought to determine whether trainee presence is associated with outcomes duri...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Cardio-oncology has emerged as a pivotal discipline aimed at preserving cardiovascular health in patients undergoing contemporary cancer therapies. Despite growing awareness of trea...
The global population of adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) now exceeds that of children, reflecting decades of surgical and medical advances. As this cohort has aged, arrhythmias have emerged...
