Cardiology In The News

Every week patients ask me about something they read in the news. Sometimes it is a study that genuinely changes how I practice. Sometimes it is a press release dressed up as journalism, or a finding that does not survive a second look at the data. This page is where I collect the pieces I think are worth your time, articles from the major medical journals, mainstream press, and reputable health publications that say something real about how we prevent and treat cardiovascular disease.

I update this list as new pieces come across my desk, and I try to lean toward stories that hold up six months later rather than the breaking-news cycle. If you have read something you want my take on, send it to me on the contact page. If you want a deeper dive on a topic that keeps coming up in the news, GLP-1 drugs, statins, blood pressure targets, atrial fibrillation, sleep apnea, start with the topics index, where I have written full explainers on most of them.

The list below is in roughly reverse chronological order. Where available, I have linked directly to the source; otherwise to a stable archive so the link does not rot. None of these are paid links and I do not have any financial relationship with the publications. Inclusion here is editorial only.
