Aircraft Noise Poses Threats to Heart Health

Exposure to high levels of aircraft noise, especially at night, is associated with adverse cardiac remodeling in the form of concentric left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and reduced LV systolic function, leading to an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, according to a new study published in JACC.

Relationship Between Obesity and SCD Explored in JACC Review

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) in obesity is the focus of a State-of-the-Art Review of the mechanisms, as well as current evidence for its management, gaps in knowledge and future research, published in JACC.

JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions
Review Provides Strategies to Address Post-TAVR CDs and PPI

A State-of-the-Art Review published in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions covers the epidemiology, clinical implications, risk factors and preventive strategies for new-onset conduction disturbances (CDs) and the need for permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) after TAVR, which the authors note are a limitation of this therapy.

ICYMI: Tricuspid Interventions in JACC

The vital and fast-evolving area of tricuspid interventions was the focus of a themed issue of JACC that featured a curated collection of high-impact papers that reflect cutting-edge research. Together, they provide a comprehensive view of the field, offering a unique educational resource for the global cardiovascular community. Click here for this issue published on Jan. 28.

Journal of the American College of Cardiology
Risk and Potential of AI in Clinical Trials Focus of JACC Review

The range of opportunities to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the design and implementation of cardiovascular clinical trials, as well as the limitations and potential pitfalls, were discussed in a State-of-the-Art Review published in JACC.

Journal of the American College of Cardiology
Do CVD Events Precede a Diagnosis of T2D?

Individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) experienced two-fold more cardiovascular disease events than matched comparisons in the general population as much as 30 years before their diagnosis of T2D, according to results from a large, contemporary, nationwide registry-based study published in JACC.

Journal of the American College of Cardiology
Smoking From Childhood Associated With Greater Risk of Cardiac Damage

Tobacco smoking from ages 10 to 24 years was associated with a 33% to 52% odds of premature structural and functional cardiac injury, according to a study published in JACC. Furthermore, smoking from childhood through early adulthood was also associated with cardiac mass increase, with one-third of the effect estimate retained after controlling for risk factors.
