A study led by Guadalupe Sabio and José Jalife at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) in Madrid has identified a new signaling mechanism implicated in the development of ventricular fibrillation, a type of arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat. The study findings, published in the journal Nature Cardiovascular Research, offer promise of future treatment options […]
A blood test powered by artificial intelligence (AI) has shown promise in the assessment of patients with total blockage of a heart artery. Around 25% of patients with obstructive coronary artery disease on coronary angiography have a fully narrowed coronary artery. The blockage, known medically as chronic total occlusion, is associated with higher rates of […]

A new study identified 60 alcohol-associated circulating metabolites, which appear to produce counteractive effects on the risk of heart disease. While past research has indicated that moderate alcohol consumption can lower one’s risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), more recent studies suggest that moderate levels of drinking may be hazardous to heart health. A new analysis led by […]
National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center The DAPPER study was conducted with the National Cardiovascular Center as the principal investigator, with 294 patients participating from 18 facilities in Japan.
