Treating clinical obesity as an independent disease may increase the effectiveness of HF prevention strategies. 1778782020000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Articles/2026/05/12/15/21/eagles-eye-view-13may2026 In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle examines the role of rhythm control in improving moderate-to-severe and severe secondary tricuspid valve regurgitation. 1778679000000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Journal-Scans/2026/05/11/15/12/FASTR The Reprieve System, a three-part approach to diuretic therapy, safely produced significantly faster decongestion in patients with acute heart failure (HF) compared with optimal diuretic therapy (ODT), according to results of the FASTR trial published May 4 in JACC: Heart Failure. 1778670960000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Journal-Scans/2026/05/11/15/12/JACC-Journals-Science-at-ESC-Heart-Failure-Congress-2026 Findings from several studies presented at ESC Heart Failure Congress 2026 in Barcelona, Spain, were simultaneously published in JACC and JACC: Heart Failure, covering topics like arrhythmic burden in cardiac amyloidosis (CA), stroke and bleeding risk in CA... 1778607960000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Journal-Scans/2026/05/11/15/12/Incorporating-CMR-and-NT-proBNP Results from a prospective study using data from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) Registry provide important evidence in support of incorporating cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and NT-proBNP into the evaluation of risk in patients with HCM. 1778516640000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Articles/2026/05/08/14/35/cardiacast_11may2026 This episode is part of ACC’s ongoing initiative to advance education on remote hemodynamic monitoring in heart failure management. 1778515200000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Journal-Scans/2026/05/04/11/24/BP-Reduction Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) enjoyed the same reduction in cardiovascular risk from lowering systolic blood pressure (SBP) as those without CKD, and this finding held across all CKD stages, BP thresholds, proteinuria status and antihypertensive class, according to research published April 25 in The Lancet. 1778087340000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Articles/2026/05/04/12/18/Heart-Failure-Medication-Recommendations-During-Pregnancy-and-Breastfeeding Managing heart failure (HF) during pregnancy and breastfeeding presents unique challenges due to physiological changes that can exacerbate HF symptoms. Increased blood volume and cardiac output, particularly in the late second and early third trimesters, can place additional strain on the heart. 1777911240000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Articles/2026/05/01/01/Online-Exclusive-New-Procedure-to-Measure-RAP Stephen John, MD, emerged as the winner of the ACC.26 Heart Tank Tournament of Champions thanks to his project developing a new ultrasound-based method to measure right atrial pressure (RAP) by imaging the internal jugular vein (IJV) in an upright position. 1777637640000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Articles/2026/05/01/01/Online-Exclusive-Health-Equity-in-HF Persistent disparities in access to guideline‑directed medical therapy (GDMT) for heart failure (HF) remain a major driver of avoidable morbidity and mortality in underserved populations. 1777637580000 Articles and Stories
