Marine n-3 PUFAs do not affect incident PAD risk

16 Oct 2021

Higher intake of marine n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) exerts no significant protective effect against incident peripheral artery disease (PAD), a recent study has found.

SBP below, above 100–120 mm Hg tied to increased death risk in CKD patients

15 Oct 2021

The divergence of systolic blood pressure (SBP) above or below 100–120 mm Hg appears to increase the risk of all-cause mortality among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially among those on antihypertensive medication, suggests a study.
