In post-CABG patients, relaxing potassium supplementation thresholds to <3.6 mEq/L was noninferior to tighter control, with no increase in atrial fibrillation and significantly reduced costs and intervention frequency.
Cardiovascular diseases lead EU deaths but are 80% preventable. A 2024 analysis highlights fine dust, nitrogen dioxide, and drug factors as key mortality drivers. Coordinated prevention addressing environment and behavior is urgently needed.

An elevated TyG index and its related indices are significantly correlated with an increased risk of CVD and related mortality across three national cohorts. These indices are anticipated to serve...
Elevated triglyceride-glucose index and related measures predict higher cardiovascular disease and mortality risk in hypertensive individuals, with inflammation partially mediating this link across U.S., U.K., and Chinese cohorts.
