Beetroot juice of no benefit to blood pressure, endothelial function

26 May 2022

Beetroot juice does not seem to be effective at lowering blood pressure or improving microvascular endothelial function in both young and old people, a recent study has found.

High serum copper-to-zinc ratio improves HF risk prediction in middle-aged, older men

26 May 2022

Increased serum copper-to-zinc (Cu/Zn) ratio is linked to a higher risk of heart failure (HF) among middle-aged and older men, having the potential to improve HF risk assessment, as suggested in a study.

High admission GPR worsens death risk in ischaemic stroke

25 May 2022

Ischaemic stroke patients with high serum glucose-to-potassium ratio (GPR) upon admission see significantly excess 30-day mortality risk, a recent study has found. GPR may be a valuable predictor for short-term death in this patient population.

Higher echocardiographic calcium score seen in CVD patients on peritoneal dialysis

24 May 2022 by

Patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) with cardiovascular disease (CVD) show significantly higher echocardiographic calcium score (ECS) than those without CVD, according to a Singapore study. This indicates a higher vascular calcification burden in the former.

CIEDs give clues to time of patient death

24 May 2022 by

Postmortem interrogation of cardiac implantable electrical devices (CIED) can help pinpoint a patient’s time of death, according to a recent study. While forensic analysis of explanted CIEDs is valid, accuracy of time determination varies across different devices.

‘1-2-3-4-day rule’: Initiating DOACs according to stroke severity may be the way to go

23 May 2022 by

Following nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF)-associated stroke events, a graded increase in delay in direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) initiation of between 1 and 4 days, depending on the severity of the index event, appears to be effective for recurrent stroke prevention and does not compromise safety both in Asians and Europeans, according to a recent study.

Intensive BP management reduces CVD deaths in overweight, obese patients

23 May 2022 by

Intensive management of blood pressure (BP) leads to a significant reduction in cardiovascular events in overweight, obese I, and obese II patients without elevating safety risks, a study has shown.

High BNP predicts stroke or systemic embolism in very elderly NVAF patients

22 May 2022

In very elderly nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients who are ineligible for standard anticoagulation, increasing levels of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) appear to be correlated with higher risks of stroke or systemic embolism, reports a new study.

Which canagliflozin dose is best for T2DM patients with hypertension?

22 May 2022

A recent meta-analysis offers new proof of different canagliflozin doses for hypertension management in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated by hypertension. However, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and the risk of urinary tract infection must be observed.
