In postpartum #preeclampsia, furosemide vs placebo was associated with lower mean systolic BP on postpartum days 1 & 5, lower diastolic BP on days 1, 2 & 5, and shorter time to BP control.

Maternal diabetes during pregnancy was associated with increased risk of overall #CardiovascularDisease and specific CVD subtypes in offspring, with congenital heart disease, preterm birth, and large for gestational age mediating part of the association. https://t.co/Vd2qwDWbrM

Coronary plaque in younger women may carry a far greater prognostic signal than equivalent plaque in men.

In our editorial in the Am Journal of Preventive Cardiology (https://t.co/s5vcvNHkSp), we discuss why sex-specific interpretation of CCTA findings is essential—and why even “mild” plaque in women should prompt aggressive prevention efforts.

[American Heart Association @American_Heart]

The American Heart Association mourns the passing of the legendary cardiologist Eugene Braunwald, M.D., widely recognized as one of the most influential figures in the history of cardiovascular medicine. Over seven decades, his work reshaped the understanding and treatment of heart disease, leading many to call him the father of modern cardiology.

Braunwald was a lifelong contributor to the American Heart Association, helping advance its research and scientific mission, and was honored with some of the Association’s highest honors for his lasting influence on cardiovascular care and research. His influence extended well beyond his own discoveries, as generations of Association‑supported investigators, clinicians and academic leaders were trained by Braunwald or guided by the clinical trial standards and mentorship models he helped establish.

@CarolinaZingano Congrats Carolina!

[Women As One @WomenAs1]

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in women, yet traditional models miss key risks like hormonal factors, pregnancy-related conditions, and therapy differences.

It’s time for precision, personalized care.

Clinical course, imaging, and hemodynamics define the transition to fixed constriction. IL-1 blockade treats inflammation, not fibrosis, but may be continued perioperatively to prevent rebound inflammation. @JACCJournals

In a US cohort, higher systolic #BloodPressure genetic risk was associated with new-onset #Hypertension after pregnancy, but elevated postpartum body mass index and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were stronger risk factors.
