Malignancy is a leading cause of death in adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD). Cancer incidence in ACHD is approximately double that of the general population and is diagnosed earlier in life. Arrhythmia and baseline diuretic requirement predict morbidity and mortality in ACHD and cancer and represent potentially actionable venues to improve outcom es. Cancer screening must be emphasized in ACHD, and disease-specific cancer screening protocols are in dire need of development. Despite ongoing

Mashup Score: 8Finerenone Plus Empagliflozin Decrease UACR in CKD Patients With T2D - American College of Cardiology - 10 hour(s) ago
Among persons with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), combination therapy with finerenone plus empagliflozin leads to a greater reduction in the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) than either drug alone, according to results from the CONFIDENCE trial published June 5 in the New England Journal of Medicine. In this double-blind multicenter trial, Rajiv Agarwal, MD, FACC, et al., randomized 800 patients (mean age 66 years, 25% women) to receive 10 or 20 mg of finerenon e once

Mashup Score: 11Joint Exposure to Ozone, Higher Temperature Increases AMI Risk in Younger Adults - American College of Cardiology - 14 hour(s) ago
Exposure to both ozone pollution and higher ambient temperature, even when one exposure is moderate, increases the probability of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in younger adults, according to a large U.S. study pub lished June 3 in Circulation. In this time-stratified case-crossover study, Lingzhi Chu, PhD, Harlan M. Krumholz, MD, SM, FACC, et al., identified 270,123 adults (30% women) aged 18-64 years with incident AMI who were insured with a private nationwide company from 2016 to 2020. They

The SMART-CHOICE 3 trial demonstrated that clopidogrel monotherapy is more effective than aspirin monotherapy in reducing the risk of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events in high-risk patients who completed standard dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Despite concerns that more potent antiplatelet agents may increase bleeding risk, the study found that clopidogrel significantly reduced ischemic events—including myocardial infarction and all-cause

Catheter ablation as a first-line strategy for ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy reduces the composite endpoint of death or serious arrhythmia outcomes compared with antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs). Catheter ablation was associated with fewer treated sustained VTs below the detection rate versus AADs. How does the efficacy and safety of catheter ablation as first-line therapy compare with antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy for ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with
