Mashup Score: 2Left atrial appendage occlusion - 5 month(s) ago
Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has been rapidly adopted for stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and a contraindication to oral anticoagulation. Ongoing and planned clinical trials on LAAO and the development of new devices might expand clinical indications and address the remaining challenges of device-related thrombus and peridevice leak.

Mashup Score: 14Not a spectator sport: improving participation of Black patients in cardiovascular clinical trials - 6 month(s) ago
Representation of Black patients in cardiovascular clinical trials remains dismally low, reflective of systemic and structural barriers, which can lead to missed opportunities to meet community-identified needs, understand responses to medical therapies and improve cardiovascular care. Innovative, multilevel strategies focused on Black communities are warranted to increase enrolment of this…

Mashup Score: 4
Racial and ethnic disparities in cardiovascular health in the USA result in a persistent mortality gap between white and Black individuals, increase health-care costs and compromise an egalitarian society. Solutions to racial inequities require risk factor control and the implementation of evidence-based medicine and anti-racism policies. Overcoming these disparities is not only a practical…

Mashup Score: 0Levothyroxine supplementation does not improve heart transplantation from brain-dead donors - Nature Reviews Cardiology - 6 month(s) ago
The use of intravenous levothyroxine does not increase the likelihood of hearts being transplanted from haemodynamically unstable, brain-dead potential donors, suggesting that current practice recommendations should be revised.

Mashup Score: 4Mosaic loss of chromosome Y and cardiovascular disease - 6 month(s) ago
Mosaic loss of chromosome Y (mLOY) refers to the condition in male individuals in which a detectable fraction of cells lose the Y chromosome. Prevalent in haematopoietic cells, this common somatic mutation is associated with decreased longevity and an increased risk of age-related diseases, including cardiovascular disease. Haematopoietic mLOY provides further insight into the sex-specific…
