Chronic Heart Failure and Coronary Artery Disease: Pharmacological Treatment and Cardiac Rehabilitation - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40005328/
Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of acute and chronic heart failure. Patients with heart failure and ischemic heart disease need a tailored assessment to define the appropriate treatment,...
Coronary artery disease drives heart failure. Comprehensive assessment and multidisciplinary management, including pharmacological therapy and cardiac rehabilitation, improve survival, reduce hospitalizations, and support tailored, guideline-directed care for fragile patients.

Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation for refractory cardiac arrest - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40456239/
When conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) cannot restore spontaneous circulation, the initiation of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during refractory cardiac arrest-known as extracorporeal CPR (ECPR)-might restore circulation and adequate tissue oxygenation....
ECPR, used when CCPR fails, can restore circulation and improve survival but faces limitations due to complexity, cost, and risks. Outcomes depend on patient factors, timing, and procedural effectiveness.

Maternal Serum Folate During Pregnancy and Congenital Heart Disease in Offspring - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39388179/
In this case-control study of CHD, low maternal serum folate levels in early to midpregnancy were associated with an increased CHD risk in offspring, and excessively high folate levels were...
Maternal folate levels showed a U-shaped association with CHD risk in offspring; both low and high levels increased risk, especially with concurrent vitamin B12 deficiency or elevated homocysteine.

Advancing Alzheimer's Research: Gender Differences, Cardiometabolic Risk, and Lifestyle Interventions.
At AAIC 2025, Dr. Heather Snyder, Senior Vice President of Medical and Scientific Relations at the Alzheimer's Association, highlights key findings on gender differences in Alzheimer’s disease, including women’s increased susceptibility following traumatic brain injury and the potential cognitive protection offered by managing cardiometabolic risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes.
Dr. Rachel Whitmer, Professor of Public Health Sciences and Neurology at UC Davis, presents results from the US POINTER study. This large-scale lifestyle intervention suggests that a structured program of diet, exercise, and cognitive engagement may delay cognitive aging over two years.
These insights underscore the importance of early, personalized, and holistic brain health strategies that span the entire adult lifespan.
