In 2,594 women aged 18–55, SCAD was associated with lower risks of HF, stroke, ventricular tachycardia, angina & rehospitalization than AMI. Improving women's CV health requires growing the evidence base for conditions that disproportionately affect them tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

CKD changes everything in cardiovascular therapeutics. 🫀🩺 As kidney function declines, the evidence supporting our therapies becomes increasingly heterogeneous. This figure highlights a key message: 🔹 SGLT2 inhibitors have the broadest evidence across HF and CKD, including advanced CKD. 🔹 ACEi/ARBs remain central, but evidence becomes less robust in G4–G5. 🔹 nsMRA have an important role, particularly in diabetic kidney disease and HFpEF. 🔹 Incretin-based therapies are increasingly relevant at the intersection of diabetes, obesity, CKD and cardiovascular disease. 👉 We need to stop treating heart failure, CKD, diabetes and obesity as separate diseases. They are part of the same cardio-kidney-metabolic continuum. #CKM #CKD #HeartFailure #SGLT2i #GLP1RA #Finerenone #Cardiology #Nephrology

🫀 Is left ventricular untwisting really just passive recoil? A fascinating new speckle-tracking echocardiography study challenges a long-held concept in cardiac physiology, suggesting that papillary muscles actively contribute to left ventricular untwisting during diastole, rather than simply following ventricular motion. 🔍 Key findings: ✅ In 75 individuals with normal echocardiograms, papillary muscle mechanics were analysed using 2D speckle-tracking alongside LV torsion measurements. ✅ Both the anterolateral and posteromedial papillary muscles reached peak contraction later than peak LV torsion and GLS, indicating an active role during diastole rather than systole alone. ✅ Greater papillary muscle contraction was significantly associated with enhanced LV untwisting during early and mid-diastole through advanced time-dependent functional modelling. ✅ These findings suggest that papillary muscles may facilitate diastolic suction, providing a previously underappreciated contributor to normal ventricular filling. 💡 Clinical takeaway: This study reshapes our understanding of diastolic mechanics, proposing that papillary muscles are active participants in ventricular relaxation. The findings may open new avenues for studying diastolic dysfunction and diseases affecting papillary muscle mechanics. 📖 Read the full article: doi.org/10.1093/ehjimp/qyag1… #CardioX #Echocardiography #SpeckleTracking #DiastolicFunction #CardiacMechanics #PapillaryMuscles #CardiacImaging #Cardiology #MedTwitter #OpenScience

In #ChronicKidneyDisease, the urinary albumin creatinine ratio and urinary protein creatinine ratio provided clinically similar risk prediction for kidney and cardiovascular outcomes in a large cohort with established disease. Although the urinary albumin-creatinine ratio was more strongly associated with kidney failure statistically, it did not provide meaningfully better discrimination, reclassification, or decision support than the urinary protein-creatinine ratio. ja.ma/4hLcqsH
