Greater cumulative time at higher cardiovascular health during young adulthood, assessed by higher Life’s Essential 8 scores, correlates with lower subsequent risk of developing cardiovascular disease. ja.ma/3IgVDiP @Jim_Walker_ @JamesW_Guo @dmljmd

Most viewed this week from @JAMACardio: In this cohort and nested case-control study, moderate to vigorous–intensity physical activity declined from early adulthood to midlife, with further drops pre- and post-cardiovascular events. ja.ma/3UwWu1G

Intravascular optical coherence tomography-fluorescence lifetime imaging is clinically feasible and safe for the comprehensive characterization of coronary plaques. ja.ma/3GgHRwh

Most viewed this week from @JAMACardio: Chronic cannabis smoking and THC ingestion were associated with endothelial dysfunction similar to that observed in tobacco smokers. ja.ma/4nQv58p

Finerenone was effective in heart failure patients with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction, regardless of atrial fibrillation (AF) status, and new-onset AF was linked to higher risk of adverse outcomes. ja.ma/44IgNOA @HFpEF @AdriaanVoors @mvaduganathan

NOTIFY-LVH RCT: A centralized, population health coordinator-led notification and clinical support pathway improved the initiation of antihypertensive therapy in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy. ja.ma/4nED7Bl @SeanMurphyMBBCh

In heart failure patients with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction, cardiovascular and sudden deaths were higher in those with EF <50%. Finerenone did not significantly reduce cause-specific mortality. ja.ma/4nC6sw2 @mvaduganathan @HFpEF @AdriaanVoors

From 2001 to 2020 in King County, Washington, out-of-hospital #cardiacarrest incidence showed varied temporal patterns across subgroups, while overall survival rates improved. ja.ma/4eXkAMM

CALIPSO RCT: Optical coherence tomography guidance associated with predefined algorithmic management achieved better stent implantation results than angiography guidance in patients with calcified lesions PCI. ja.ma/4nWBejJ @nicolasamabile

A multicomponent Education and Empowerment (E2) intervention initiated in the emergency department (ED) may present a viable and effective strategy for reducing systolic blood pressure in patients with elevated BP who are discharged from the ED. ja.ma/44zwhUP

In a nationwide study of outpatients with heart failure, a majority eligible for SGLT2i therapy did not receive it, particularly those who were older, female, or with higher blood pressure. ja.ma/4eLrYuA @GCFMD

An intervention that combined team-based primary care with automated identification of patients with antihypertensive medication nonadherence did not lead to improvements in adherence or blood pressure. ja.ma/3TrcyBP

Truncating LMNA variants lead to worse arrhythmic outcomes regardless of position, whereas missense variants in the tail domain, particularly in exons 7 to 12, are associated with better cardiac outcomes. ja.ma/3TYETzn
