This study looked at 2946 individuals without cardiovascular disease who were assessed to have intermediate ASCVD risk and underwent electrocardiography.
LDL-C Polygenic Risk Score and ASCVD in Monogenic Familial Hypercholesterolemia
Elevated LDL-C polygenic scores associated with higher LDL-C levels and increased risk for ASCVD in patients with monogenic familial hypercholesterolemia.
No Cardiovascular Benefit With Fenofibrate in T2D and Hypertriglyceridemia
Statins were associated with a reduction in mortality but there was no significant difference in the composite end point with fenofibrates alone or in combination with statins.
Proportion of Low-Risk Survivors of Acute MI Increased From 2001 to 2011
Younger patients, men, married persons, and those without multimorbidities are more likely to be low-risk survivors.

Vitamin K1 single nucleotide polymorphisms are positively linked to myocardial infarction and coronary artery disease.
Cardiovascular Risk May Temporarily Increase After Alcohol Consumption
Within 1 to 3 hours, 1 alcoholic drink increased heart rate and disrupted the heart’s normal rhythm, but by 24 hours, moderate drinking conferred some benefit.
