Key clinical takeaways from ACC.26
Hadley Wilson, MD, a former American College of Cardiology president, spoke to Cardiovascular Business about several studies presented at ACC.26.
PCI before TAVR? In older CAD patients, deferral may be the best approach
Patients with coronary artery disease and severe aortic stenosis often undergo PCI before TAVR. According to new data presented at ACC.26, however, deferring PCI is associated with comparable outcomes as well as a reduced bleeding risk.
Premature menopause linked to substantial long-term heart risks
Starting menopause before the age of 40 could increase a woman's lifetime risk of coronary heart disease by up to 40%.
Cold weather responsible for many more stroke and heart attack deaths than heat
While heat consistently gets more attention in terms of public health messaging, new data show just how dangerous the cold can be.
MRI findings detail how a 'leaky' barrier can damage the brain years after head injuries
New evidence suggests the BBB can remain compromised following a head injury, even years after it first occurred.
