- Stalking, Obtaining Restraining Order Linked to Higher CVD Risk in WomenWomen who have experienced being stalked, obtaining a restraining order (an indicator of severe violence) or both are significantly more likely to develop cardiovascular disease than women without these experiences, according to a study published Aug. 11 in Circulation.
- High LDL-C Increases Risk of Noncalcified Plaque, Future Events in Patients Without CACSymptomatic individuals with no coronary artery calcium (CAC) but elevated LDL-C have a higher risk of noncalcified plaque and future coronary heart disease (CHD) events, especially among those aged ≤45 years, according to a large cohort study published Aug. 9 in EHJ.
- CSPACE: Is CSP Superior to RVsP in AV Block to Improve Clinical Outcomes?Conduction system pacing (CSP) is superior compared with right ventricular septal pacing (RVsP) in achieving improved clinical outcomes in patients with atrioventricular (AV) block, according to the CSPACE study published Aug. 18 in JACC. These findings support the broadening of the indication of CSP as an upfront pacing technique for patients with AV block.
