Conduction disturbances common after new-generation self-expanding valve implantation

22 May 2022

Implantation with new-generation, self-expanding aortic valves appears to result in a significant spike in the rates of high-degree cardiac conduction disturbance, such as an increase in PR and QRS intervals, reports a new study.

Early evolocumab helps reduce LDL-C levels, prevent recurrent ischaemic cardiovascular events

21 May 2022

In acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), early treatment with evolocumab as an addition to statin can lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels as well as reduce the incidence of recurrent ischemic cardiovascular events, while having satisfactory tolerability and safety, according to a study.

Isolated systolic hypertension tied to increased LV mass index, aortic stiffness in adolescents

21 May 2022

Adolescents with isolated systolic hypertension (ISH), including the spurious hypertension (sHTN) subtype, show more noticeable markers of cardiac end-organ damage, higher aortic stiffness, and stroke volume than those with white-coat hypertension (WCH), a study has shown.

Late nonfasting plasma glucose tied to CVD deaths

21 May 2022

The risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality appear to be higher among adults with elevated late nonfasting plasma glucose (PG) levels independently of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), a recent study reports.

Prior faecal haemoglobin concentrations can help predict risk of future CRC, advanced neoplasia

21 May 2022

Prior faecal haemoglobin (F-Hb) concentrations are prognostic of the risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) or advanced neoplasia (AN), according to a study. When added to age and sex, prior F-Hb concentrations can accurately identify individuals at risk of the said diseases.
