Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The American Journal of Preventive Cardiology focuses on cardiovascular health, particularly in relation to risk factors and early detection. Recent articles explore the prognostic value of coronary artery calcium scoring, including novel AI-derived methods, and the role of epicardial adipose tissue in risk stratification. The journal also investigates the association between adverse pregnancy outcomes and coronary microvascular dysfunction, as well as the impact of obstructive sleep apnea on cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease. Additionally, it examines heart failure-related mortality trends in breast cancer patients and the use of artificial intelligence in electrocardiography for detecting asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction.
