Risk Score May Let Many With Chest Pain Skip Further Tests

The PROMISE minimal risk score identifies patients with recent-onset stable chest pain who can safely avoid extra testing and are less likely to have significant coronary disease or adverse events.

Cholesterol Guideline Emphasizes Earlier Treatment

A new cardiovascular calculator targeting individuals aged 30-79 years can help prevent atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease by estimating long-term risk for heart attack and stroke.

Frailty Index May Guide Blood Pressure Decision-Making

Frailty, rather than chronological age, more accurately distinguishes the ranges of systolic blood pressure that are linked to a lower risk for adverse cardiac events in patients with hypertension.

Antithrombotic Choice May Affect Bleed Risk in Endocarditis

The use of anticoagulation therapy at diagnosis of left-sided infective endocarditis may increase the risk for intracranial hemorrhage, especially when combined with antiplatelet therapy.

GLP-1 Drugs Show Benefits in Cushing Syndrome

GLP‑1 receptor agonists aid weight loss and improve glycaemic control and liver function in patients with Cushing syndrome and concurrent type 2 diabetes and/or obesity.

Anticoagulation Alone May Be Better for Patients With CAD

Oral anticoagulation alone is linked to lower risks for cardiovascular death and bleeding than adding an antiplatelet in stable coronary artery disease, with no higher risks for other poor outcomes.

Stents Placed Under Imaging Guidance Yield Better Outcomes

Stenting guided by intravascular imaging rather than angiography is linked to a lower risk for target vessel failure in patients with complex coronary artery lesions, a 5-year follow-up finds.
