Precision medicine aims to provide personalized clinical care guided by tools that reflect underlying pathophysiology. The need for such an approach has never been greater in cardiovascular medicine, given the large number of guideline-directed medical therapies available. However, progress has been modest to date with few precision tools available for clinicians. Arguably, cardiovascular prevention and population health are poised for innovation to guide evaluation and management, as these areas are already informed by risk-assessment, but limited by the use of crude assessment tools with marginal performance. Risk assessment in prevention and population health may be improved with the use of genetics, circulating biomarkers, and imaging, leading to outcome-specific risk-prediction and enhanced phenotyping. Personalized management matching therapy to risk profile can be then implemented for either individuals or groups, improving cost-effectiveness and risk-benefit. Here, we explore this precision-like approach, including available tools, potential applications, and future perspectives for cardiovascular prevention and population health management.

Evidence is limited as to whether outcomes differ between patients with tricuspid regurgitation (TR) treated with tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) versus surgical tricuspid valve repair. We aimed to compare outcomes between these 2 approaches.

In the phase 3 randomized controlled study ATTRibute-CM (Efficacy and Safety of AG10 in Subjects With Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy), acoramidis, a transthyretin stabilizer, demonstrated significant efficacy on the primary end point. Participants with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy who completed ATTRibute-CM were invited to enroll in an open-label extension study (OLE). We report the efficacy and safety data of acoramidis in participants who completed ATTRibute-CM and enrolled in the ongoing OLE.

In severely symptomatic patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), VALOR-HCM trial (Study to Evaluate Mavacamten in Adults With Symptomatic Obstructive HCM Who Are Eligible for Septal Reduction Therapy [URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT04349072]) reported that mavacamten reduced the short-term need for septal reduction therapy (SRT). The current report examined the longer-term effect of mavacamten through end of treatment at week 128.

The optimal duration of anticoagulation therapy for patients with cancer and acute low-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) is clinically relevant, but evidence is lacking. Prolonged anticoagulation therapy could have a potential benefit for prevention of thrombotic events; however, it could also increase the risk of bleeding.

Medical record review by a physician clinical events committee is the gold standard for identifying cardiovascular outcomes in clinical trials, but is labor-intensive and poorly reproducible. Automated outcome adjudication by artificial intelligence (AI) could enable larger and less expensive clinical trials but has not been validated in global studies.

Many studies have explored whether individual plasma protein biomarkers improve cardiovascular disease risk prediction. We sought to investigate the use of a plasma proteomics-based approach in predicting different cardiovascular outcomes.

This is the eighth annual summary of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science With Treatment Recommendations; a more comprehensive review was done in 2020. This latest summary addresses the most recent published resuscitation evidence reviewed by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation task force science experts. Members from 6 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation task forces have assessed, discussed, and debated the quality of the evidence, using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation criteria, and their statements include consensus treatment recommendations. Insights into the deliberations of the task forces are provided in the Justification and Evidence-to-Decision Framework Highlights sections. In addition, the task forces list priority knowledge gaps for further research.

Subtle, prognostically important ECG features may not be apparent to physicians. In the course of supervised machine learning, thousands of ECG features are identified. These are not limited to conventional ECG parameters and morphology. We aimed to investigate whether neural network-derived ECG features could be used to predict future cardiovascular disease and mortality and have phenotypic and genotypic associations.

Codeveloped by the American Heart Association and the American Red Cross, these guidelines represent the first comprehensive update of first aid treatment recommendations since 2010. Incorporating the results of structured evidence reviews from the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation, these guidelines cover first aid treatment for critical and common medical, traumatic, environmental, and toxicological conditions. This update emphasizes the continuous evolution of evidence evaluation and the necessity of adapting educational strategies to local needs and diverse community demographics. Existing guidelines remain relevant unless specifically updated in this publication. Key topics that are new, are substantially revised, or have significant new literature include opioid overdose, bleeding control, open chest wounds, spinal motion restriction, hypothermia, frostbite, presyncope, anaphylaxis, snakebite, oxygen administration, and the use of pulse oximetry in first aid, with the inclusion of pediatric-specific guidance as warranted.

The ability to predict recovery of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in response to guideline-directed therapy among patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy is desired. We sought to determine whether left ventricular endocardial unipolar voltage measured during invasive electroanatomic mapping could be used to predict LVEF recovery among those with recent-onset nonischemic cardiomyopathy.
