Heart disease in women has long been underdiagnosed and undertreated, as clinical research historically centred on male patients and symptoms presented differently in women, often being missed or dismissed. Reports revisiting this gap highlight how chest pain, fatigue and other warning signs in women were overlooked for decades, and why awareness of sex-based differences in cardiology is now growing.

An innovator in cardiovascular genetics will be awarded the 2026 Population Research Prize, according to the American Heart Association. The honour recognises contributions to population-level research on the genetic factors shaping heart disease. Details about the recipient's specific work and the prize ceremony have not yet been widely reported, but the announcement is drawing attention within the cardiology and genetics research communities.
- 3Heart Doctors Say Overall Diet Quality Matters Most●ACC Scientific Statement Says Overall Diet Quality Key to Maintaining Heart Health
The American College of Cardiology has issued a new scientific statement saying that overall diet quality, rather than any single food or nutrient, is the key to maintaining heart health. The statement emphasizes balanced eating patterns over time as central to cardiovascular disease prevention, and is likely to inform guidance from clinicians and dietitians.
- 4Altering heart cell metabolism may trigger self-repair after attacks●Modifying heart cell metabolism unlocks self-repair system after heart attack
Researchers report that changing the metabolism of heart cells can unlock an inherent self-repair mechanism following a heart attack. The finding suggests a potential new route to regenerating damaged heart tissue, a long-standing goal in cardiology since adult heart muscle repairs itself poorly. Details of the study, including the model used and clinical implications, were not provided.
