One key takeaway from the STS/EACTS statement is that, using the same inclusion criteria found in the PARTNER 3 and Evolut Low Risk trials, SAVR is already associated with a survival rate of nearly 93% after five years among low-risk patients treated in a real-world setting. After eight years, the groups added, survival remains close […]
At a Glance Researchers estimated there will be an increase in cardiovascular deaths due to extreme heat between now and mid-century. The projected increase may affect certain groups disproportionately and widen health disparities. Climate change due to greenhouse gas emissions is making extreme heat events in the United States more frequent and more intense. This […]

November 6, 2023 — Advances in artificial intelligence have enabled the development and application of AI tools that may be effective at detecting heart valvular disease and predicting the risk of cardiovascular disease events, according to preliminary research in two studies to be presented at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2023. The meeting, to be […]
Want to live longer? New research shows a link between strong heart health and slower biological aging — and there are certain steps that can help you get there. The analysis, using data from 6,500 adults who participated in the 2015 to 2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, found that having high cardiovascular health […]

By Shania Kennedy November 06, 2023 – Artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning tools may be capable of accurately detecting heart valve disease and predicting the risk of cardiovascular disease events, according to two preliminary research studies to be presented at the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions 2023. The first study, “Real World Evaluation of […]

Transgender adults living in the rural Appalachian area of the U.S., were more likely to have cardiovascular disease risk factors, like tobacco use, obesity and high blood pressure, thank their cisgender peers, according to a preliminary study to be presented at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2023. The meeting, to be held Nov. 11-13, […]
