AI echocardiogram model could speed cardiac amyloid diagnosis, expanding access in underserved settings. High AIP linked to greater carotid atherosclerosis risk and progression, study finds. Colchicine lowered arrhythmia, thrombosis after TAVR, but stroke risk led to early trial halt. In older AFib patients, bleeding raises death risk 4x, stroke nearly 2x—highlighting treatment complexities. New AHA risk tool may underestimate heart disease in some groups, highlighting need for more accurate, equitable prediction. Heart risk factors like high LDL and belly fat may weaken brain memory networks, new Alzheimer’s study finds. Non-statin therapies key for high-risk patients not at LDL goal, says Dr. Kohli; advocates broader risk assessment. Survival after OHCA has improved over 20 years, driven by more bystander CPR and early defibrillator use.

SGLT2i use remains low in US heart failure care, despite proven benefits, with wide variation across clinics. AHA says alcohol’s heart effects are complex, warns against heavy use, and urges more rigorous, unbiased research.
