Yoga-based Cardiac Rehab Improved Quality of Life In People Living With Heart Failure

November 7, 2026 — Research Highlights: A study including nearly 3,500 adults in India with heart failure found that participants in a yoga-based cardiac rehabilitation program reported improved quality of life and walking distance compared to the group that received enhanced standard care. However, there was no statistically significant difference in the combined rate of death, hospitalization or stroke between the yoga-based cardiac rehab group and the enhanced standard care group.


Balloon technique may help improve circulation to heart and brain during cardiac arrest

November 7, 2026 — Research Highlights: In a small feasibility study of 39 patients in England, physician responders used a minimally invasive procedure called Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) to try to improve blood flow to the heart and brain during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Several key measures of circulation improved during resuscitation: the lower blood pressure number (which is particularly important for restarting the heart during CPR) increased 62%, the upper number (an important determinant of blood flow to the brain) rose 20%, and carbon dioxide in exhaled breath, an important sign of effective circulation during CPR, increased 50%.


Phone App Alerts Did Not Increase Bystander CPR Rates In Study of 2 Major Population Areas

November 7, 2026 — Research Highlights: Alerting nearby CPR-trained volunteers through a smartphone app did not increase the likelihood that a person experiencing cardiac arrest received CPR or use of an AED before professional responders arrived, according to a study conducted in British Columbia and Columbus, Ohio. Researchers randomly assigned cardiac arrest 911 calls to either standard EMS dispatch only or standard dispatch and PulsePoint Respond alerts to nearby first-responder volunteers, comparing response times of both.


Intensive Blood Pressure Therapy Did Not Cut Cardiovascular Events In Adults With Diabetes

November 7, 2026 — Research Highlights: Compared to standard treatment, using antihypertensive medications to lower systolic blood pressure (the top number in a reading) below 120 mm Hg in middle-aged adults with Type 2 diabetes did not significantly reduce the incidence of cardiovascular death, stroke, heart attack and other cardiovascular events. There is still a chance of a modest but clinically relevant benefit from more intensive blood pressure-lowering treatment, and high blood pressure management in people with Type 2 diabetes should remain individualized, researchers said.


Discontinuing Statins Generally Safe for Older Adults Without Heart Disease

November 7, 2026 — Research Highlights: In a study of almost 1,900 adults, ages 70 years and older who had other chronic health conditions but not cardiovascular disease, those who stopped taking cholesterol-lowering statins had similar rates of heart attack, stroke and death after two years when compared to peers who continued taking statins. There was an increase in the number of heart attacks and strokes among a small number of older adults who discontinued statins in an extended follow-up of up to four years, compared to peers who continued taking the medications.


Selective Smartphone Alerts Helped Improve Bystander Response Time for Cardiac Arrest

November 7, 2026 — Research Highlights: Selecting which volunteer community first responders were alerted to the scene of a cardiac arrest was overall more successful when alerting responders who had shorter estimated arrival times than only sending out alerts to responders who were geographically closer to the scene and also reduced dispatching volunteers likely to get to the scene after EMS, according to preliminary research conducted by researchers in Freiburg, Germany. Because “smart” alerting considered obstacles related to how fast the responder could get to the scene, this method nearly doubled the chance of early volunteer arrival compared with alerts sent only to responders within the nearby geographical area.


Intensive Blood Pressure Control in Stroke Survivors Lowered Risk of Cardiovascular Events

November 7, 2026 — Research Highlights: Stroke and TIA survivors in Brazil who received medications to lower systolic blood pressure(the top number of a blood pressure reading) to less than 120 mm Hg were significantly less likely to die or have cardiovascular events within 4 years, compared to those who received standard treatment to lower levels below 140 mm Hg. During the four-year intervention of more than 4,000 people, more intensive blood pressure control reduced the risk of major cardiovascular events by about 21%, compared to standard treatment.


Can A Low-Cost Diuretic Medication Help To Lower Blood Pressure After A Stroke?

November 7, 2026 — Research Highlights: Adding the diuretic medication spironolactone to post-stroke care for adults with uncontrolled high blood pressure resulted in average systolic blood pressure (the top number) that was nearly 8 mm Hg lower at three months compared with usual post-stroke care. Spironolactone is a low-cost diuretic medication (or water pill) that helps the body excrete salt and water to prevent buildup, and it is usually added later in blood pressure treatment, typically when blood pressure stays high despite three other medications.


Lp(a) HORIZON Trial: Lp(a) Fell By 78%, But Cardiovascular Outcomes Unexpectedly Neutral

November 7, 2026 — Research Highlights: In the 7-year, phase III, multicenter, international Lp(a) HORIZON trial, the novel medication pelacarsen lowered Lp(a) levels by a mean of 78% in a trial with more than 8,300 adults with cardiovascular disease in 42 countries. However, even with a significant reduction in Lp(a) levels while taking pelacarsen, there was no change in the time to occurrence of a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), defined in this trial as nonfatal heart attack, stroke, an urgent revascularization procedure to open clogged heart arteries or death from any cardiovascular cause.
