Low coronary artery calcium score is associated with an excellent prognosis regardless of a person’s age, new study finds
2025-03-29
Having a coronary artery calcium (CAC) score of zero has generally been accepted as a marker of a very low risk of having a cardiac event within the next five years. However, age is a strong contributor to coronary risk, with risk increasing markedly as people age.
Whether age-related risk factors diminish the low risk predicted by a zero coronary artery calcium score has been uncertain – until now.
A large new study of more than 40,000 patients from heart researchers at Intermountain Health in Salt Lake City finds that a zero coronary artery calcium score continues to be an accurate indicator of a low risk for a coronary ...
Groundbreaking consensus statement on conduction system pacing released: a major milestone in the evolution of pacing therapy
2025-03-29
Vienna, 30 March 2025– The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has released a groundbreaking consensus statement on conduction system pacing (CSP), marking a significant milestone in the evolution of pacing therapy. The document was officially presented today at the EHRA 2025 congress in Vienna and simultaneously published in EP Europace.
For over 50 years, right ventricular pacing has been a standard treatment for slow heart rhythms. However, in some patients, this approach can lead to reduced heart function and even heart failure. Furthermore, biventricular pacing ...
Nuclear monitoring system suggests landslide cut off internet in west Africa
2025-03-29
Hydroacoustic signals captured by the world’s international nuclear monitoring system suggest an underwater landslide may have broken communications cables and disrupted internet traffic in west African countries for several weeks in March 2024.
Researchers used data collected by hydrophones installed by the International Monitoring System of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) to determine the location of the possible landslide, placing it along the steep slopes of Trou Sans Fond Canyon offshore of Ivory Coast.
The proposed landslide corresponds with the timing and location of four broken cables in the canyon, according to Vaibhav Vijay Ingale of UC ...

Mass General Brigham researchers identify mutations that can lead to resistance to some chemotherapies
2025-03-28
Investigators at Mass General Brigham have uncovered how resistance to chemotherapies may occur in some cancers. Researchers focused on a pathway that harnesses reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill cancer cells. The study found that mutations to VPS35, a key player in this pathway, can prevent chemotherapy-induced cell death. These results, published in Nature, could help pinpoint treatment-resistant tumors.
“ROS play an important role in healthy and diseased cells, but pathways that sense and control cellular ROS levels are not well understood,” said corresponding author Liron Bar-Peled, PhD, of the Krantz Family ...
