Dear colleagues!
On August 28, 2026, the full texts of the new clinical guidelines were published on the official website of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), dedicated to the issues of cardiovascular diseases and chronic kidney disease.
The provisions of these clinical recommendations were presented to the participants of a number of specially organized scientific sessions, and also served as a reason for active discussions.
Development and validation of a machine learning model to predict myocardial blood flow and clinical outcomes from patients’ electrocardiograms
Scientists have developed a machine learning (ML) model using electrocardiography (ECG) to predict myocardial blood flow reserve (MFR) and assess its predictive value in relation to major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Using 3639 ECG positron emission tomography (PET) and 17,649 pairs of ECG single-photon emission computed tomography data (SPECT), the model is trained using the intelligent swarm intelligence approach and support vector regression (SVR).
New Scanner Creates Highly Detailed, 3D Images of Blood Vessels in Just Seconds
A new scanner can provide three-dimensional (3D) photoacoustic images of millimeter-scale veins and arteries in seconds.
Mediterranean Diet With Olive Oil Boosted HDL Function?
More research suggests that a Mediterranean-style diet supplemented with either virgin olive oil or mixed nuts enhances the function of HDL cholesterol[1].
In a subset of 296 patients at high risk of heart disease in thePREDIMED study, cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC), the first step in reverse cholesterol transport, was significantly increased at 1 year compared with baseline in those advised to eat a Mediterranean diet rich in virgin olive oil (VOO) (P=0.018) or mixed nuts (P=0.013) rather than a reduced-fat diet.
