- CKM Syndrome Associated With Increased, Stage-Specific Cancer RiskCardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome is associated with incremental cancer risk and stage-specific immune-metabolic pathways, according to a study using data from the UK Biobank published July 16 in JACC: CardioOncology. These findings highlight potential prevention targets.
- If You Build It, Will They Come? Digital Health in AF ManagementAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in the United States, with a nation-wide prevalence projected to reach 12.1 million by 2030.1 AF is a major driver of adverse clinical outcomes, including stroke, dementia, myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and all-cause death.
