The Action has not only catalyzed research in this area by bringing together almost 300 participants from across Europe and beyond, but it also catalyzed the careers of younger researchers and launched a Horizon 2020 project: COVIRNA. “We aimed to catalyze collaborative research in transcriptomics for cardiovascular disease,” says Dr Yvan Devaux from the Luxembourg […]
In this retrospective analysis, we verified the association between the TyG index and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in primary prevention. We discovered that those with a TyG index ≥ 9.83 who had a high risk of CVD also had a higher risk of both cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. The number of people at high risk of CVD […]
Abstract Current understanding of determinants for COVID-19-related cardiovascular and thromboembolic (CVE) complications primarily covers clinical aspects with limited knowledge on genetics and lifestyles. Here, we analysed a prospective cohort of 106,005 participants from UK Biobank with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. We show that higher polygenic risk scores, indicating individual’s hereditary risk, were linearly associated with increased […]
Share on PinterestAdopting a vegetarian diet may benefit heart health. Jen Grantham/Stocksy Researchers investigated the effects of vegetarian dietary patterns on those with a high risk of cardiovascular disease. They found that eating plant-based diets for six months improved several measures of cardiometabolic risk, such as cholesterol and blood sugar. Eating a more plant-based diet […]
Three polypill combos were deemed medicines that healthcare systems should carry to meet the CVD needs of the population. The World Health Organization (WHO) has added polypills to its list of essential medications, deeming the combination cardiovascular medications a priority to meet the healthcare needs of people around the world. On the list of essential […]
miniseries/Getty Images Making six key foods a regular part of your diet may lower your risk of cardiovascular disease, new research shows. For the study, published in the European Heart Journal, researchers analyzed data from six international studies that included 245,000 participants—with and without prior cardiovascular disease—from 80 countries. They used a diet score from […]

Tim Boyle/Getty Images Researchers investigated the effects of low dose aspirin on stroke risk in older adults. They found that low dose aspirin did not significantly reduce stroke risk, but increased the risk of […]

The American Heart Association, a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives, has recognized 2,671 health care and emergency response organizations -; nearly 145 more than in 2022 -; for their commitment to improving health outcomes for cardiovascular patients through evidence-based efficient and coordinated care. The American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® […]
