Two studies found cardiac MRI-derived biomarkers may improve heart failure risk assessment. Epicardial adipose tissue index was linked to HFpEF risk, while imaging-derived SvO2 predicted hospitalization and death.
A study finds nearly half of melanoma patients receiving BRAF or MEK inhibitors develop hypertension or cardiac dysfunction. Moderate to severe cardiac issues appear within 4 weeks and only in patients with medium or higher baseline risk. Higher baseline NT-proBNP levels are associated with increased cardiac dysfunction risk.
Recent studies examine self-management strategies for breast cancer treatment-related cardiotoxicity and highlight risks of vertebral fractures after discontinuing denosumab therapy in patients receiving aromatase inhibitors.
The European Commission approved MYQORZO (aficamten) for treating symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in adults, completing global regulatory approvals following FDA and China NMPA clearances. First European launch planned in Germany in Q2 2026.
