Alternative splicing may influence gene expression more than protein diversity
Alternative splicing is a genetic process where different segments of genes are removed, and the remaining pieces are joined together during transcription to messenger RNA (mRNA).
Invasive strategy shows no benefit in cardiovascular death reduction for older NSTEMI patients
An invasive strategy vs. optimal medical therapy alone after a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) in older adults did not affect the combined risk of cardiovascular death or MI, although non-fatal MIs and subsequent revascularisation procedures were reduced, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2024.
Complete revascularization proves effective for older STEMI patients in first 4 years
The benefits of complete revascularization over culprit-only coronary artery revascularisation were confirmed in older patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease over the first 4 years, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2024.
Mass screening for atrial fibrillation with ECG and biomarker fails to prevent stroke in older adults
Mass screening for atrial fibrillation using ECG together with heart failure biomarker does not prevent ischaemic stroke or systemic embolism (blood clot) in older adults aged 75-76 years over 5 years follow-up, according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line Session at this year’s ESC Congress 2024 in London, UK (30 Aug – […]
Village doctor-led telemedicine reduces cardiovascular events in rural China
Telemedicine support to village doctors could hold the key to improving access to care for China’s rural elderly at risk for developing potentially life-threatening complications resulting from untreated atrial fibrillation, according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line Session at this year’s ESC Congress 2024 in London, UK (30 Aug – 2 Sept).
Wearable heart monitor for AF screening increases diagnoses but not stroke prevention
Screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) using a wearable heart monitor for 2 weeks can identify older adults with this potentially dangerous abnormal heart rhythm, but does not prevent subsequent strokes, according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line Session at this year’s ESC Congress 2024 in London, UK (30 Aug – 2 Sept).
FINEARTS-HF trial shows finerenone benefits for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Finerenone reduced heart failure (HF) events and cardiovascular death in patients with HF and mildly reduced (HFmrEF) or preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2024.
Breakthrough in blood stem cell development offers hope for leukemia and bone marrow failure
Melbourne researchers have made a world first breakthrough into creating blood stem cells that closely resemble those in the human body. And the discovery could soon lead to personalized treatments for children with leukemia and bone marrow failure disorders.
