Prediction or speculation: heart failure models for diabetes – An Editorial comment from iCARE4CVD
Can we predict heart failure in people with diabetes, or are we merely speculating?

The Precision Moonshot: Redefining Cardiovascular Care for 85 Million Europeans
Cardiovascular disease affects 85 million Europeans, yet most patients are still treated as averages rather than individuals. In this article, our leading experts explore how personalised medicine could change that—transforming diagnosis, risk prediction, and treatment. They also unpack the barriers holding progress back, from fragmented data to outdated reimbursement models, and what it will take to bring truly patient-centred care into everyday practice.
The right treatment for the right patient: Rethinking heart failure care
Heart failure is a leading cause of hospitalisation in Europe, especially among older adults, and remains complex to treat, particularly alongside other conditions. Despite advances, outcomes still vary, pointing to the need for more tailored care. In this article, Prof. Hans-Peter Brunner-La Rocca explores what lies ahead for heart failure care.
“Suddenly, you are a patient 24 hours a day” – A patient perspective on living with heart failure
Heart failure affects millions worldwide, yet no two experiences are the same, shaping daily life in deeply personal ways. As care becomes more personalised, patient voices are increasingly vital. In this article, Max Groenhart shares his journey with heart failure and explains why involving patients in research is key to improving outcomes.
Connecting Health Data for Better Heart Failure Monitoring (SWAT4HCLS conference)
At the SWAT4HCLS conference, iCARE4CVD presented new research introducing the Digital Biomarker Ontology (DBO), building on earlier work such as CMEO to tackle a key challenge in digital health: fragmented patient data across devices and systems.
