RA is defined as persistent anginal symptoms (≥3 months) due to myocardial ischemia despite guideline-directed medical therapy... 1791999300000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Journal-Scans/2026/10/14/09/58/PREVENT-Analysis In patients with lipid-rich plaques (LRPs) defined by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), preventive PCI was associated with lower cardiovascular risk, yet no significant association was observed in patients with non-LRPs despite their large plaque burden and small minimal lumen area... 1791996180000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Articles/2026/10/14/12/36/eagles-eye-view-14oct2026 In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at continued sex disparities in CV clinical trials. He then examines how preemptive left stellate ganglion block (SGB) is associated with a reduced incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in patients undergoing CABG. 1791994020000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Articles/2026/10/09/15/06/AMUNDSEN Lipid lowering after acute myocardial infarction (MI) is central to secondary prevention, but stepwise therapy may delay LDL-C target attainment. The AMUNDSEN trial, presented at ESC Congress 2026 and simultaneously published in JAMA, assessed whether pre-PCI evolocumab could accelerate LDL-C reduction and improve clinical outcomes. 1791903300000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Articles/2026/10/09/15/06/cardiacast_09oct2026 This episode is part of ACC’s ongoing initiative to review aortic stenosis care and its approach to screening and diagnosis. Drs.
