AI predicts if -- and when -- someone will have cardiac arrest

2022-04-14 - 2022-04

A new artificial intelligence-based approach can predict, significantly more accurately than a doctor, if and when a patient could die of cardiac arrest. The technology, built on raw images of patient's diseased hearts and patient backgrounds, stands to revolutionize clinical decision making and increase survival from sudden and lethal cardiac arrhythmias, one of medicine's deadliest and most puzzling conditions.

Experimental ‘gene silencing’ therapy reduces lipoprotein(a), an important risk factor of heart disease, by up to 98%

2022-04-14 - 2022-04

Findings from a phase 1 trial show that an experimental 'gene silencing' therapy reduced blood levels of lipoprotein(a), a key driver of heart disease risk, by up to 98%.

Hold the salt: Study reveals how reducing sodium intake can help patients with heart failure

2022-04-14 - 2022-04

The largest randomized clinical trial to look at sodium reduction and heart failure has found that reducing salt intake does not lead to fewer emergency visits, hospitalizations or deaths for patients with heart failure. Researchers did find an improvement in symptoms such as swelling, fatigue and coughing, as well as better overall quality of life.

Researchers find new strategy for preventing clogged arteries

2022-04-14 - 2022-04

Revving up a process that slows down as we age may protect against atherosclerosis, a major cause of heart attacks and strokes. Scientists have successfully minimized artery-narrowing plaque in mice that would otherwise develop those lesions. The researchers did so by boosting chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), a cellular housekeeping process.

Cell treatment slows disease in Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients

2022-04-14 - 2022-04

A cell therapy stabilizes weakened muscles--including the heart muscle -- in Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients, a new study shows.
