ISCHEMIA trial hailed as practice changing The largest-ever RCT of initial invasive versus conservative management of stable ischemic heart disease makes waves.

DAPA-HF: Dapagliflozin’s HFrEF efficacy confirmed in nondiabetics Further analyses from the DAPA-HF trial showed dapagliflozin cut death and heart failure events in HFrEF patients with no diabetes.

Colchicine cut post-MI CVD events Colchicine fulfilled the promise first seem in CANTOS that anti-inflammatory treatment can reduce cardiovascular disease events.

Getting high heightens stroke, arrhythmia risks Cannabis use or abuse among the young was associated with adverse cardiovascular consequences in two studies.
