(Press-News.org) About The Study: In this prespecified analysis of the DANFLU-2 trial, the risk of incident myocarditis or pericarditis was lower among individuals randomized to high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine vs standard-dose- inactivated influenza vaccine. Despite sporadic reports of myocarditis and pericarditis associated with influenza vaccination, the consistency of our results with vs without inclusion of events occurring immediately after vaccination negates a dose-response association and a causal link.

High-dose vs standard-dose influenza vaccine and cardiovascular outcomes in older adults
2025-08-30
About The Study: This study found reduced incidence of cardiorespiratory hospitalization among those who received high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine vs standard-dose inactivated influenza vaccine, driven by a lower incidence of cardiovascular hospitalizations, and particularly heart failure hospitalizations. These differences should be interpreted as exploratory findings in the setting of a large randomized clinical trial with a neutral primary outcome.

Prevalence, determinants, and time trends of cardiovascular health in the WHO African region
2025-08-30
About The Study: This situational analysis of cross-sectional WHO STEPS surveys of cardiovascular health (CVH) status region identified actionable factors of the CVH status across 22 countries in the WHO African Region. This information is crucial for guiding policy efforts in cardiovascular disease prevention in countries of the WHO African Region.

New study finds that, after a heart attack, women have worse prognosis when treated with beta-blockers
2025-08-30
A major new analysis from REBOOT (Treatment with Beta-blockers after Myocardial Infarction without Reduced Ejection Fraction) clinical trial, an international study coordinated by the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC), published at the European Heart Journal has revealed important sex-specific differences in the effects of beta-blockers following heart attacks, raising questions about long-standing treatment practices.

CNIC-led REBOOT clinical trial challenges 40-year-old standard of care for heart attack patients
2025-08-30
Madrid, August 30, 2025. An international clinical trial coordinated by the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC), in collaboration with the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research in Milan, has found that beta-blockers—drugs commonly prescribed for a range of cardiac conditions—offer no clinical benefit for patients who have had an uncomplicated myocardial infarction (i.e., without deterioration of the heart function after the event).
The findings—published in two articles in The New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet and presented today during a “Hot Line” ...
Systolic blood pressure and microaxial flow pump–associated survival in infarct-related cardiogenic shock
2025-08-30
About The Study: Randomization systolic blood pressure (SBP) was associated with the survival benefit of microaxial flow pump treatment, with the most hypotensive patients deriving the largest survival benefit. Early SBP may help identify patients most likely to gain a net benefit from microaxial flow pump treatment. Findings are hypothesis generating.

Beta blockers, the standard treatment after a heart attack, may offer no benefit for heart attack patients and women can have worse outcomes
2025-08-30
Beta blockers—drugs commonly prescribed for a range of cardiac conditions, including heart attacks—provide no clinical benefit for patients who have had an uncomplicated myocardial infarction with preserved heart function. Beta blockers have been the standard treatment for these patients for 40 years.
This is a breakthrough discovery from the “REBOOT Trial” with senior investigator Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD, President of Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital and General Director of Spain’s Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares ...
High Mountain Asia’s shrinking glaciers linked to monsoon changes
2025-08-29
Glaciers across High Mountain Asia are losing more than 22 gigatons of ice per year—the equivalent to nearly 9 million Olympic swimming pools, according to research from the University of Utah and Virginia Tech. The impact of a warming climate on glacial loss is undisputed—this new study provides the first evidence that seasonal shifts in rainfall and snowfall patterns, particularly of the South Asian monsoons, are also exacerbating glacier melting across the region.
“These findings highlight that glaciers dominated by the South Asian monsoons, such as the Central Himalaya, ...
All DRII-ed up: How do plants recover after drought?
2025-08-29
LA JOLLA (August 29, 2025)—A plant’s number one priority is to grow—a feat that demands sunlight, nutrients, and water. If just one of these three inputs is missing, like water in a drought, growth halts. You might then think that at the end of that drought, the plant would jump right back into growing. Instead, its priorities shift.
Salk plant biologists used advanced single-cell and spatial transcriptomic techniques to look closely at how a small, flowering plant called Arabidopsis thaliana recovers after drought. They discovered that immunity became the plant’s number one priority during this ...
Research on stigma says to just ‘shake it off’
2025-08-29
The stereotypical employee may be at a desk in front of a computer screen working a nine-to-five, but for many employees, the work day is filled with manual labor, hazardous environments and late-night shifts. Your local garbage collector, for example, is someone with a job that society might consider “dirty,” both literally and socially.
Scott Dust, PhD, professor in the management department at the University of Cincinnati Carl H. Lindner College of Business, worked with doctoral candidates Sodiq Babatunde and Ben Fagan to analyze the impact of stress and ...
Scientists track lightning “pollution” in real time using NASA satellite
2025-08-29
Picture this: You’re stuck in traffic on a summer afternoon, checking the weather app on your phone as dark storm clouds roll in. You might think about power outages or possible flooding, but you probably don’t think about how every lightning bolt that flashes across the sky also emits a gas, nitrogen oxide (NO), that is also emitted in the exhaust from your car’s engine.
Yet, that’s exactly what occurs during a thunderstorm. For the first time, scientists from the University of Maryland were able to detect lightning and its impact on air quality using high-frequency ...
