Up-titration to a high-intensity statin occurred in only 37.7% of patients with diabetes after an acute myocardial infarction.

GutHeart, a new ongoing clinical trial, will investigate the potential benefits of treating gut bacteria in heart failure.

Children who were born as extreme preterm infants may have a higher risk for high blood pressure and hypertension.

Anemia with a baseline hemoglobin <13 g/dL was associated with a more than 5-fold increased risk for contrast-induced acute kidney injury in patients undergoing coronary angiography.

All physical activities (sports, cycling, and gardening) except walking were associated with a significant decreased risk for myocardial infarction.

Patients with atrial fibrillation who take NSAIDs in addition to oral anticoagulants may have an increased risk for major bleeding and stroke.

Patients with higher levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone were more likely to experience atrial tachyarrhythmia after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.

Patients with group 1 pulmonary hypertension who had a higher pulmonary-systemic pulse pressure ratio had a higher risk for mortality.

Segmental pulmonary hypertension can result from several conditions, such as complex pulmonary atresia, hemitruncus arteriosus, absence/atresia of a single pulmonary artery, and an anomalous pulmonary artery from the aorta feeding a single lung segment.

Individuals with more frequent nighttime awakening exhibited a higher risk for atrial fibrillation.
