CARDIOSWITCH aims to uncover how the mechanical activity of heart muscle cells shapes cardiac biology and to develop new regenerative strategies for congenital heart disease

The meeting forms part of European awareness-raising activities around the European Commission’s new strategy to strengthen prevention, early detection, and management of cardiovascular disease

The biomarker MR-proADM improves risk prediction in patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) and is associated with greater disease severity, mortality, and heart failure events.

The study shows that a simple, non-pharmacological technique known as remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) can protect the heart during treatment with anthracyclines

The study, published in Circulation Research, identifies cardiac fibroblasts and resident macrophages as essential contributors to the characteristic electrical activity that maintains this arrhythmia

A prespecified landmark analysis of the REBOOT trial, published in The European Heart Journal Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy, shows no clinical benefit of beta-blockers during the first year after infarction or beyond one year, in patients without reduced ejection fraction.

A team from the CNIC and Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valladolid has developed a minimally invasive, catheter-based procedure to treat defective mechanical aortic valves
