Overuse of reliever inhalers is associated with higher risks of developing and dying from cardiovascular disease in asthma and COPD patients, according to a new study.
A cardiac rehabilitation programme tailored especially to women could help address specific needs of female patients with conditions such as heart failure, arrhythmia or after cardiothoracic surgery.
In a first for the field, a team has grown heart valves on organoids. This work is an important step toward better understanding—and treating—a number of serious heart disorders.
A new study links metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, formerly NAFLD) to an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and other metabolic complications.
Wildfires and heatwaves strain the heart and lungs, and can also affect mental health. An environmental health expert explains who is most at risk and how public health systems can prepare.
Researchers estimate that around 1.99 million deaths per year worldwide are attributable to ultrafine particles smaller than 100 nanometers – with around half of these due to cardiovascular disease.
A new survey highlights major gaps in cardio-oncology training, despite its increasing clinical importance for prevention and early management of cardiovascular complications in patients with cancer.
Artificial intelligence is enabling radiologists to extract valuable diagnostic information from routine chest imaging – identifying patients at risk for osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease without additional scans. At RSNA 2025, researchers presented two AI-powered tools that transform standard chest X-rays and CT scans into opportunistic screening devices.
Heart disease risk has been found to increase in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), even in those with normal weight, according to new research.
New models help identify cardiovascular disease risk even before symptoms appear. The researcher's findings also indicate that the risk of heart failure is not evenly distributed across Europe.
By combining two specific markers from a standard cardiac CT scan, researchers were able to identify patients at the highest risk for future heart failure and death.
Researchers have now investigated whether a person’s genetic predisposition to different diabetes subgroups can help assess the risk of developing coronary artery disease.
Breast cancer screening could also be used to screen for cardiovascular disease, new research suggests: The risk of serious or fatal heart disease can be predicted with AI analysis of mammograms.
Diabetes and kidney disease are among the biggest — and most overlooked — drivers of heart disease. A new survey shows many people don't even know the connection exists.
Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure share a genetic link, new research from the UK and France shows. People with one condition are more likely to develop the other.
An AI-assisted stethoscope could help doctors identify patients with valvular heart disease who may otherwise go undiagnosed. This could reduce hospital admissions and overall healthcare costs.
Pioneering research has shown that heart muscle cells regrow after a heart attack, opening up the possibility of new regenerative treatments for cardiovascular disease.
TV depictions of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest may mislead viewers about who is most likely to need cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and where it’s needed, new research reveals.
Cardiovascular disease and depression do not co-occur by chance; the TO_AITION project aims to enable earlier diagnosis of comorbidity, better risk prediction and personalised treatment strategies.
