Atrial cardiomyopathy tied to a higher risk of dementia, even when patients show no signs of AFib or stroke

Researchers examined decades of data from more than 5,000 patients, sharing their findings in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

Harry Lee Page, Jr., MD, a veteran cardiologist who helped pioneer many modern interventional techniques, died on August 11 after a long illness. He was 88 years old. SCAI

‘The end of an era’: Influential cardiologist, dead at 88, made a lasting impact

“We are so fortunate to have had fearless luminaries such as Harry Page at the helm of our profession,” SCAI President Sunil V. Rao, MD, said in a statement.

Cardiovascular deaths are on the decline—but there is still a lot of work to do

Three recent NIH-supported studies took a close look at disparities in cardiovascular care.
