My ESC News 15 April 2026 - A Weekly Update of ESC Events & Resources   EU Cardiometabolic Health Checks: Prioritising prevention and early detection for all   Did they know their numbers? It was great to see cardiovascular health checks being brought directly to the heart of EU policymaking at the European Parliament this week. In anticipation of a major screening programme within the EU's Safe Hearts Plan, the initiative, which was supported by EACH, highlighted the importance of early detection, prevention and knowing your numbers. What should a cardiovascular health check include? Read this interview with leading experts on the key elements that should be part of a CV health check, and why they matter for prevention, follow up and long-term heart health.   Read more Cardiovascular Science ESC journals - recent articles   Enjoy free access today to: European Heart Journal: Cascade genetic screening in families with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis: diagnostic and prognostic impact. Discover Cardiovascular Research: Telomere recapping prevents pathogenic telomere-to-mitochondrial DNA communication in heart failure. Discover European Heart Journal - Quality of Care and Clinical Outcomes: Severe LVOT obstruction in HCM: effects on exercise capacity and outcomes from cardiopulmonary exercise testing combined with stress echocardiography. Discover European Heart Journal Open: Cardiac autonomic function in elderly patients with and without atrial fibrillation. Discover European Heart Journal - Digital Health: Prediction of vasovagal syncope using artificial intelligence-enabled smartwatch photoplethysmography-derived heart rate variability. Discover ESC Heart Failure: Medical treatments at 6 months in hospitalized and ambulatory HFrEF patients in the BRING-UP 3 Heart Failure study. Discover European Heart Journal - Acute Cardiovascular Care: Prognostic value of QRS duration in acute myocarditis: insights from a multicenter cohort study. Discover EP Europace: Temporal trends in the primary prevention of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator selection and long-term outcomes in patients with non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy and ischaemic cardiomyopathy. Discover Patient version of the ESC/EACTS Guidelines for the Management of Valvular Heart Disease   Designed for patients and their families, our new guide provides an overview of the recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of common types of heart valve diseases.

Post of the Week   For more news, head to the newsroom Education and Career Development FOCUS on the right ventricle: practical approaches in clinical management – how do I assess my patient with RV?   This month, FOCUS brings you great resources on the right ventricle (RV). Central to cardiovascular performance and prognosis, its role becomes especially critical in conditions such as heart failure, pulmonary hypertension and acute pulmonary embolism, where RV dysfunction strongly influences outcomes. Effective recognition and management of RV dysfunction call for a tailored, physiology-based approach. Learn more about the RV via the relevant ESC Guidelines, congress presentations, podcasts, webinars, journal articles, and more. Start exploring.   ESC TV Today – watch anytime, anywhere   Watch the latest episode of ESC TV Today for important insights on: What's new in hypertension John Mandrola´s approach to new data in cardiology Snapshots Must-see recent trials   Image of the Week     This week's image was submitted by Avishkar Agrawal, Sumit Kumar and Souvik Sardar from All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
