Cardiologists, nephrologists, and payers met in Scottsdale, Arizona, on August 26, 2025, to share insights on how team members can work together, empowered by data, to achieve value-based management of cardio-renal-metabolic syndrome.

Experts in cardiometabolic conditions gathered in Aurora, Colorado, on August 19, 2025, to discuss the methods available to prevent cardiovascular events.

From 2017 to 2023, women were especially underrepresented in trials in arrhythmia, coronary heart disease, acute coronary syndrome, and heart failure.

As the prevalence of both chronic kidney disease (CKD) and heart failure (HF) increases, therapies targeting shared pathways are one of the most promising strategies to alter the trajectory of these diseases.

The drug lowered inflammation, oxidative stress, and endothelial injury markers in women with INOCA and coronary microvascular dysfunction.

A new joint guideline from the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology emphasizes early treatment, close perinatal blood pressure monitoring, and incorporating the PREVENT risk calculator to personalize care.

Metabolic syndrome severity is a meaningful marker of chronic kidney disease risk even when patients do not have other major risk factors.

A review of 59 studies finds inconsistent knowledge, attitudes, and practices among health care professionals in detecting diabetic retinopathy.

Evolocumab is now indicated for adults who don’t have a prior cardiovascular disease diagnosis.

As the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) continues to rise, empowering primary care providers (PCPs) with the tools, training, and collaborative frameworks needed for optimal management is a public health priority, emphasize the researchers.

Women who experienced stalking or intimate partner violence were 40% more likely to self-diagnose an adverse cardiovascular event compared with women who did not.

The use of retinal images can help investigators noninvasively identify chronic kidney disease and assess patient prognosis.

A real-world study found that semaglutide prescriptions were associated with improvements in weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol, but also a $80 monthly rise in health care spending outside of drug costs.

A new American Heart Association initiative is working to increase screening for lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) at community health centers nationwide to help address undetected cardiovascular risk.

Alexandra M. Trevino, MD, of Northwestern Medicine presented the oral abstract, "Trends in New-Onset Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy Among US Adults by Place of Birth and Hispanic Ethnic Origin Group," on day 1 of the ASPC Congress on CVD Prevention.

A meta-analysis reveals a significant link between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), highlighting the need for increased screening and awareness.

Nurses enhance chronic kidney disease (CKD) care by implementing a palliative CKD care framework, addressing barriers, and promoting patient-centered supportive strategies globally.

Apixaban would still cost patients 9 times more through the Eliquis 360 Support program than with commercial insurance.

Researchers found a 30% increased risk of cardiovascular events in patients whose diagnosis was delayed by more than a year after an elevated blood pressure reading.

Finerenone gained FDA approval for heart failure treatment, showcasing significant benefits in reducing cardiovascular events, based on FINEARTS-HF trial results.

Avoiding downstream testing ultimately makes it cheaper for whoever is footing the bill, says Merrill H. Stewart, MD, Ochsner Health.

Merrill Stewart, MD, Ochsner Health, says insufficient funding from CMS for graduate medical education (GME) limits the ability to expand cardiology fellowships and contributes to the nationwide physician shortage.

Conversations between the patient and provider should focus on the stakes of antiobesity treatment and continuation, says Hamlet Gasoyan, PhD, Cleveland Clinic.

Iptacopan targets one of the major proteins involved in the enzymes of the alternative pathway of complement, explains Carla Nester, MD, of Stead Family Children's Hospital.

Richard Lafayette, MD, FACP, explains why a REMS program is not required for the endothelin A receptor antagonist and how patients may need to adjust should final ALIGN trial data fail to show a clinical benefit of atrasentan.

In a Cleveland Clinic cohort, patients who stopped treatment for obesity had smaller weight losses to start, making these gains easier to maintain, explained Hamlet Gasoyan, PhD.

Patients who see a cardiologist at least once a year are about 24% less likely to die in the following year.

Discontinuing the weight loss treatment before hitting the recommended maintenance dose contributes to low-value care despite provider follow-up and efforts to manage side effects, says Hamlet Gasoyan, PhD, Cleveland Clinic.
