Groundbreaking strategies for preventive cardiology were showcased at the 2024 American Society for Preventive Cardiology (ASPC) Congress on Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Prevention held in Salt Lake City, Utah, from August 2nd to 4th, 2024. The event featured 69 moderators and 13 scientific sessions comprised of 98 topics, 36 satellite events, 133 poster presentations, and 27 lifestyle classes. The conference highlighted innovative strategies focused on integrating cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic health, presenting a cohesive approach for managing complex, interrelated conditions.

However, the efficacy of beta-blockers and angiotensin receptor blockers or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) in SRV patients is unproven.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the effects of ACEI/ARB and beta-blockers on outcomes in SRV patients after accounting for likely cofounders affecting their use.
Article Synopsis
- Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC) is characterized by retinal detachments due to fluid leakage, often linked to stress, psychiatric issues, or corticosteroid use, prompting a study to investigate BALAD as a potential biomarker for CSC severity.
- The research involved a global case-control study of patients with CSC, assessing clinical characteristics, risk factors, and OCT findings in those with and without Bacillary Layer Detachment (BALAD) to better understand its implications in diagnosis and treatment.
- Results showed 37 patients with CSC and BALAD, revealing distinct clinical features on examination and OCT, compared to a control group without BALAD, suggesting significant differences in the manifestation of CSC.

Aim was to investigate to what extent cognitive functioning differs by three socioeconomic conditions: low income, being without employment, and living alone. A total of N = 158,144 participants of the population-based German National Cohort (NAKO) provided data on socioeconomic conditions and completed cognitive tests. Multivariable confounder-adjusted regression analyses indicated that cognitive functioning was lower in those with low income (b = -0.
