US Veterans make up more than 5% of the US adult population. Compared with the general US population, Veterans are older, have more comorbidities, and face unique structural barriers, including high rates of rural location and less internet access. With time, the makeup of Veterans is becoming increasingly diverse in race, ethnicity, age, gender, and military exposure history.

Veterans receiving care in the Veterans Administration (VA) have higher rates of obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and sleep disorders compared to the general population. Data from the Million Veteran Program show that fewer than 5% of Veterans achieve optimal cardiovascular health based on the American Heart Association’s Life’s Essential 8 domains, which in turn has been associated with reduced life expectancy.

Patients with CKM syndrome often have multiple conditions requiring care from several clinicians, which can lead to fragmentation of care. Incorporating clinical input from multiple disciplines within the CKM framework and coordinating care among team members are essential components of holistic CKM care.

The need for a point person is emphasized, to coordinate efforts of the CKM interdis¬ciplinary team, to facilitate implementation of evidence-based care and guideline-directed medical therapy and to support patients and clinicians. https://t.co/WDV2VoUAQT

AI is transforming cardiovascular care at the point of care, creating new opportunities to close the gap between scientific discovery and patient care. At #ScientificSessions26, past American Heart Association President Bob Harrington, MD, FAHA and OpenAI's Nate Gross, MD, explored how AI can help accelerate the future of medicine. 💡

As #ScientificSessions26 comes to a close, we celebrate the science, innovation and collaboration that continue to shape the future of cardiovascular and brain health.

Now, we look ahead to a historic milestone.

Join us in Boston for the 100th Scientific Sessions, Nov. 5-8, 2027.

SYNCHRONIZE-CVOT results presented at #ScientificSessions26

In adults with obesity and established cardiovascular or chronic kidney disease, or increased cardiovascular risk, survodutide was non-inferior to placebo for a composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal cardiovascular events, coronary revascularization, and heart failure events, while also improving cardiometabolic markers.

ATTAIN-OSA results presented at #ScientificSessions26

Among adults with moderate-to-severe OSA and overweight or obesity without diabetes, orforglipron significantly reduced apnea-hypopnea index compared with placebo at 52 weeks, both in participants using and not using positive airway pressure therapy.

RACE-CARS results presented at #ScientificSessions26

Compared with usual care, the multifaceted intervention did not result in a greater percentage of patients who survived to hospital discharge with a favorable neurologic outcome.

[AHA Science @AHAScience]

SUPERIOR results presented at #ScientificSessions26

Sacubitril/valsartan reduced the risk of documented atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence at 12 months compared to valsartan in older patients with HTN undergoing catheter ablation for AF.
