Ultra-processed foods linked to CVD death, diabetes, mental disorders

06 Mar 2024 by

High consumption of ultra-processed foods appears to increase the risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related mortality, common mental disorders, overweight and obesity, and type 2 diabetes (T2D), reveals the results of an umbrella review of epidemiological meta-analyses.

Ramipril on par with sacubitril/valsartan in acute MI

05 Mar 2024

Combination treatment with sacubitril and valsartan appears to be no better than ramipril in reducing the risk of cardiovascular death and heart failure (HF) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by left ventricular dysfunction, regardless of AMI type, reveals a study.

Low sexual function scores tied to arterial stiffness in postmenopausal women

27 Feb 2024

Lower scores of sexual function in postmenopausal women are predictive of weakened vascular function, as manifested by arterial stiffening, which then contributes to systolic blood pressure (SBP) changes, according to a recent study.

Quitting smoking in pregnancy tied to weight gain and high HDP risk, but lower stillbirth risk

26 Feb 2024

Smoking discontinuation during pregnancy is associated with both positive and negative outcomes, such as reduced risk of stillbirth but higher risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and weight gain, according to a study.

Pitavastatin reduces noncalcified plaque in people with HIV at low-to-moderate CVD risk

25 Feb 2024

In people living with HIV (PWH) who are at low-to-moderate risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), use of pitavastatin for 2 years leads to a reduction in noncalcified plaque volume and progression, which potentially contributes to a decrease in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), according to the results of the mechanistic substudy of the REPRIEVE trial.
