Infertility liked to higher risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease

11 May 2022

Women with a history of infertility have a moderately higher risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) compared with those who have no such history, with the risk more pronounced among nulliparous infertile women who have or have not experienced a pregnancy loss, according to a study.

Supplemental calcium may do more harm than good in older patients with aortic stenosis

10 May 2022

For elderly patients with mild-moderate aortic stenosis, calcium supplementation with or without vitamin D may lead to unfavourable outcomes, such as lower survival and increased risk of aortic valve replacement, according to a study.

Treatment with sacubitril/valsartan appears to improve right ventricular performance and pulmonary hypertension among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), independent of the reverse remodelling of the left ventricle, as reported in a study.

Platelet function a potential biomarker of Alzheimer’s disease

07 May 2022

A higher platelet response in middle-aged individuals who are free of antiplatelet therapy carries an increased risk of dementia in late life, according to a cohort study with 20 years of follow up.

Cardiorespiratory fitness offsets aggravating effect of inflammation on sudden cardiac death

06 May 2022

Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and inflammation are both independently linked to sudden cardiac death (SCD) in middle-aged men, reports a recent study. However, better CRF seems to offset the impact of inflammation on SCD risk.

Women with nonvalvular AF less likely to receive oral anticoagulation, at higher risk of stroke

04 May 2022

Female patients nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) are less often prescribed guideline-recommended oral anticoagulation at the emergency department (ED), which in turn contributes to an increased stroke risk at 1 year regardless of discharge status, a study has found.
