Early pregnancy blood pressure patterns tied to hypertension risk years later
Researchers show certain blood pressure patterns during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy were more likely to develop into hypertension later in life.
Heart Rhythm Society legislative advocacy group raising funds for electrophysiology

Key takeaways from ACC.25: Advances in cardiovascular science
Former American College of Cardiology president Hadley Wilson, MD, executive vice chair of Atrium Health Sanger Heart and Vascular Institute, explains his main takeaway messages from the ACC 2025 late-breaking trials.
New TAVR research explores adverse outcomes, disease progression in patients with asymptomatic severe AS
Two separate studies at ACC.25 explored data from the EARLY TAVR trial. One analysis included stroke findings that surprised researchers.
Dapagliflozin improves outcomes for elderly TAVR patients with heart failure
The positive data were presented as part of a late-breaking clinical trial at ACC.25 in Chicago. One cardiologist on stage for the presentation said these findings will impact the way he manages certain TAVR patients.

The new findings are from research to be presented at AHA Scientific Sessions 2021.

Ellume was the first company to gain federal authorization for an over-the-counter test to detect COVID-19.

AVR patients may require a longer hospitalization if they present with pre-existing or new-onset AFib.

New research published in Diabetes provides some potential answers to a big question.

The study's authors wrote that additional research is warranted to assess whether testing for mental stress–induced ischemia provides value.

Patients who have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, it seems, are much less likely to notice symptoms related to an irregular heartbeat.

Physicians, industry leaders—and, yes, patients themselves—provided an updated look at the state of vascular care in 2021.
