🚨 Peripartum dyslipidaemia is crucial for fetal and maternal health and outcomes.👉 This #EJPC review highlights the pathophysiological mechanisms, assessment routes, management options and association with outcomes

💪🏽Can adding electrical myostimulation boost the benefits of exercise training in heart failure rehab?.Exercise alone already delivers major gains in fitness & QoL — electromyostimulation adds no extra boost, but may protect against muscle damage. 🔗

⚠️ Large-scale analysis shows an increased of CVD risk with allopurinol use. 🧪 The risk was attenuated with the concomitant use of colchicine . 🔗

Ever wondered about #menopause and its association with CVD? This #EJPC study showed that:.👩‍⚕️Menopause is linked with increase in CVRF.🩺There is a potential protective role of hormone therapy.Read more here 🔗

📢 In a meta-analysis of 34 studies including >35million people: .✈️ Aircraft noise exposure linked to ↑ cardiovascular risk.🧠 Noise may trigger stress & vascular dysfunction.📍 Findings support policy action to reduce noise exposure 🔗

🚨 New in #EJPC: Acute aortic syndromes (AAS) caused 3% of sudden cardiac deaths (SCD) in young U.S. athletes—all cases were fatal. 🧬 75% of those tested had pathogenic mutations.💥 Exertion not always a trigger.🔗

🆕from the LoDoCo2 trial: .Colchicine ⬇️heart disease risk in patients with CCS, even in those with high Lp(a) and oxidized lipoproteins. 🎯Greatest benefit seen in those with high OxPL-apoB, pointing to its power against oxidation-driven inflammation.🔗

🔍New from the EAPC Opti(MI)se project:.📌Structured, in-person training helps older adults&chronic patients truly benefit from digital health tools. 🎯 Educational interventions improves digital health literacy, a crucial pillar of secondary prevention.

🧬 Does high #Lp(a) accelerate #coronarycalcification?.⬇️ This study finds no significant link between elevated Lp(a) levels and the development or progression of coronary artery calcification.

How stable is your Lp(a)?.In >11,000 patients, borderline Lp(a) levels (30–50 mg/dL) often changed over time, especially in women, those with ASCVD, on statins, or with high LDL-C. 📊 Repeated testing may be key for accurate risk assessment. 🔗 Read more:

📌Routine screening in HFpEF patients reveals hidden conditions like sleep apnoea (33%) and iron deficiency (35%) on top of existing comorbidities. 🔍Conditions like diabetes and obesity were undertreated.✅Systematic checks=better detection+improved care.

♀️ In a nationwide study across Scotland, women with heart attacks were less likely to receive evidence-based treatment but showed better long-term survival compared to men. ♂️ Meanwhile men received better treatment yet experienced poorer outcomes.

A large Danish cohort study (n=903,415) found that occupational exposure to diesel engine exhaust (DEE) significantly raises the risk of first-time AMI, highlighting the need to include AMI in occupational DEE risk assessments when setting exposure limits.

🔍How well you sit and rise from the floor may predict how long you live. 🔍Over 12 years, adults aged 46–75 with the lowest scores on the "Sitting-Rising Test" had up to 6x higher risk of death from cardiovascular causes vs. those with perfect scores.
