Kidney drug finerenone may help millions more patients after three major studies

Finerenone studies widen the case for kidney disease use

Three studies suggest finerenone may help beyond diabetic kidney disease.
FIND-CKD reported slower kidney decline and fewer major kidney and heart outcomes.
A glomerular disease analysis showed reduced progression risk and lower albuminuria.
The results could support broader future use if regulators and guidelines follow.

ACC issues decision pathway for postpartum cardiovascular care

ACC Calls for Year-Long Postpartum Heart Care as Maternal Risk Remains High After Delivery

The ACC says postpartum cardiovascular care should begin immediately after delivery and continue through the first year.
More than half of pregnancy-related deaths occur after birth, with the highest risk in the first two weeks postpartum.
The pathway emphasizes blood-pressure control, symptom screening, emergency management and transition to long-term preventive care.

Common food preservatives linked to high blood pressure and heart disease

Large French Study Links Common Food Preservatives to Higher Heart Risks

A French cohort study followed 112,395 volunteers and analyzed preservative exposure in their diets.
Higher intake of non-antioxidant preservatives was associated with higher risks of hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
The findings are observational but add substantial human data to concerns about additives in ultraprocessed foods.

Stretchy implants could stick to arteries to treat high blood pressure

Stretchable artery implant offers a softer bioelectronic approach to drug-resistant hypertension

Penn State researchers developed a soft, 3D-printed bioelectronic implant called CaroFlex.
The device targets the baroreflex and lowered blood pressure in a rodent model.
The team reported less surrounding tissue damage than with more rigid approaches.

Prior heart attack linked to faster declines in thinking and memory skills

Past heart attacks may accelerate cognitive decline over time, large study finds

Researchers followed more than 20,000 adults for 10 years.
Heart attack survivors had an average yearly 5% increased odds of developing cognitive impairment.
The association was reported as similar across Black and white adults and across men and women.
Silent heart attacks were also linked to faster cognitive decline.

Bariatric surgery linked to sharply lower kidney failure and heart risks in chronic kidney disease study

A five-year real-world study compared bariatric surgery patients with similar CKD patients who did not have surgery.
The surgery group had lower risks of end-stage kidney disease, dialysis, cardiovascular events and death.
Researchers argue the data support considering metabolic surgery earlier in CKD care for patients with obesity.

GLP-1 Heart Benefits Hold Up in Long-Term Review

A long-term review of 11 trials linked GLP-1 drugs to lower rates of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death.
The analysis covered more than 90,000 patients and focused only on studies with at least one year of follow-up.
Benefits were reported in high-risk patients with obesity, type 2 diabetes, or existing heart disease.
Serious safety concerns were not meaningfully increased versus placebo, though gastrointestinal side effects remained common.

Home blood pressure checks after hypertensive pregnancy may lower long-term cardiovascular risk

Oxford-led researchers studied 220 women after hypertensive pregnancies.
Daily home blood pressure monitoring let doctors tailor medication more closely.
Women in the monitoring group ended with less arterial stiffness.
Researchers estimate that improvement could cut later heart attack or stroke risk by about 10%.

Six Hours of Daily Screen Time Correlates With Measurable Cardiovascular Risk in Young Adults

Young adults with 6+ hours of daily recreational screen time show measurably worse blood pressure, cholesterol, and BMI
The primary mechanism is sedentary behavior — extended sitting impairs the metabolic signaling that muscle activity provides
Cardiovascular risk behaviors established in young adulthood set trajectories that play out over decades
The study cannot establish causality definitively; longitudinal research with behavioral interventions is needed
Current guidelines already recommend interrupting prolonged sitting; this study extends that urgency to younger adults
