NOACs in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation with multimorbidity: Where does apixaban stand?

02 Nov 2021

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice, affecting millions of people globally. Stroke is one of its devastating complications, with the risk steeply increasing with advancing age. Additionally, AF is associated with more than a tripling of the risk of systemic embolic (SE) events. [J Am Heart Assoc 2020;9:e016724]

30 Oct 2021 by

People who need to check their blood pressure (BP) regularly to confirm if they have hypertension prefer BP monitoring done at home rather than at a clinic, kiosk, or through a 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM), suggest findings from the Blood Pressure Checks for Diagnosing Hypertension (BP-CHECK) trial presented at Hypertension 2021.

Plasma 1,25(OH)2D linked to big bellies in healthy, sedentary adults

Dietary ALA intake may lower risks of all-cause, CVD, CHD mortality

28 Oct 2021 by

Dietary intake of alpha linolenic acid (ALA) appears to reduce the risk of mortality from all causes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and coronary heart disease (CHD) but may slightly increase the risk of cancer mortality, according to a systematic review and meta-analysis. Moreover, an association exists between higher blood levels of ALA and a lower risk of all-cause and CHD mortality.
