Among men in 2 cohort studies, hematologic loss of chromosome Y was associated with higher risk of incident #AbdominalAorticAneurysm but not #ThoracicAorticAneurysm. ja.ma/4d5PMcY

Among patients with #HeartFailure with reduced ejection fraction in Sri Lanka, a once-daily polypill improved composite guideline-directed medical therapy adherence vs usual care. ja.ma/4AKj9f8

This case report discusses a finding of ectopic hepatic tissue near the inferior vena cava orifice found on incidental examination of a 31-year-old pregnant woman. ja.ma/4deueL7

💬 Viewpoint: #RheumaticHeartDisease remains a major cause of death and disability, especially in low- and middle-income countries, despite effective prevention with penicillin. ja.ma/4d9GkVT

Among patients undergoing #CoronaryArteryBypassGrafting, no-touch saphenous vein harvesting was not associated with lower 7-year risk of death, myocardial infarction, or repeat revascularization vs conventional harvesting. ja.ma/4hyYBgA

💬 Editorial: A once-daily #HeartFailure polypill improved adherence and reduced pill burden vs usual care in a randomized implementation trial in Sri Lanka.

Among patients hospitalized for #HeartFailure, most had multiple overlapping #CardiovascularKidneyMetabolic conditions, and increasing multimorbidity was associated with higher mortality and readmission risk.

💬 Editorial: Global #HeartFailure prevalence has increased substantially, and better prevention of hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and rheumatic heart disease may help reduce future burden.

Globally, #HeartFailure affected an estimated 56 million people in 2023, with increasing burden largely associated with population growth and aging.

Higher #Lipoprotein(a) levels were associated with progressively greater odds of incident #VenousThromboembolism, with stronger associations at higher thresholds. ja.ma/4ySIL7D

Among patients with #HeartFailure and left ventricular ejection fraction ≥40%, undiagnosed #ChronicKidneyDisease was common and was associated with higher cardiovascular death and total heart failure event rates vs no chronic kidney disease.

ja.ma/4yPW4Wi

Among older adults, worsening #Frailty, lower intrinsic capacity, and poorer physical health-related quality of life preceded #CardiovascularDisease events and accelerated in the 5 years before onset.

🧬 Viewpoint: Current therapies for #InheritedCardiomyopathy do not prevent progressive heart failure, but #GeneticTherapy may offer future approaches that target the underlying molecular cause of disease.
