Navin Suthahar
In this Comment, I propose an outcome-oriented classification of heart failure based on skeletal muscle mass. By distinguishing between heart failure with either preserved or reduced muscle mass, this conceptual framework represents a major step towards abandoning the misleading concept of the ‘obesity–mortality paradox’ in cardiology.

Psychosocial stress is a major, modifiable driver of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Transcendental Meditation can effectively lower blood pressure, improve cardiometabolic health and might even reduce clinical cardiovascular disease events. Recognizing Transcendental Meditation within prevention frameworks could transform stress management from a lifestyle option into a core strategy for cardiovascular protection.

Omar Hahad, Shady Abohashem
The 2021 American Heart Association scientific statement on the ‘mind–heart–body connection’ brought psychological health on to the cardiovascular stage. A new 2025 European Society of Cardiology clinical consensus statement advances this field, translating concepts into operational pathways with screening algorithms, stepped care and pharmacotherapy guidance. Together, these recommendations mark a pivotal shift, moving from why mental health matters in cardiology to how it can be systematically delivered in practice.
