  • Evolving Strategies in Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Management

    Evolving Strategies in Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Management
    May 15 2026
    Drs. Maron and Rowin focus on modern treatment options for patients with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, including both new medications and long-established invasive procedures that relieve heart obstruction and improve symptoms. They emphasize that multiple effective choices now exist, and that factors like patient preference, access to drugs, and other heart conditions help determine the best approach.

  • Could switching direct oral anticoagulants after breakthrough stroke be unnecessary?

    Could switching direct oral anticoagulants after breakthrough stroke be unnecessary?
    May 7 2026
    New evidence from JAMA Network Open suggesting that switching direct oral anticoagulants after breakthrough ischemic stroke in atrial fibrillation does not improve short-term outcomes; NEJM data from the Beamion LUNG-1 trial showing promising first-line efficacy of zongertinib in HER2-mutant NSCLC; and 10-year follow-up from the FIDELITY trial reinforcing that arthroscopic partial meniscectomy offers no benefit over sham surgery for degenerative meniscal tears and may worsen osteoarthritis progression. Together, these findings may influence future standards in stroke prevention, targeted lung cancer therapy, and orthopedic surgical decision-making.

  • Highlights From ISC 2026: The CREST-2 Cognitive Substudy and Oral Health and Stroke Risk

    Highlights From ISC 2026: The CREST-2 Cognitive Substudy and Oral Health and Stroke Risk
    May 5 2026
    Drs. Sanossian and Saver highlight emerging evidence that routine dental care and oral hygiene may function as actionable, modifiable contributors to stroke prevention beyond traditional vascular risk factors. They also review CREST-2 data showing that carotid revascularization in asymptomatic high-grade carotid stenosis reduces stroke risk, but does not appear to confer additional cognitive benefit over intensive medical therapy alone.
