PPI use not linked to cardiovascular disease risk

18 Jul 2022

The association between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and increased cardiovascular disease risk, as seen in many observational studies, is probably caused by residual confounding related to conditions with PPI treatment instead of a true correlation, as suggested by negative findings in a self-controlled case series (SCCS) study.

Frailty modifies treatment effect of exercise training in patients with chronic stable HFrEF

18 Jul 2022

For frail patients with chronic stable heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), aerobic exercise training confers significant reduction in the risk of all-cause hospitalization but not mortality, a study reports.

Coffee intake may reduce ischaemic heart disease mortality risk

17 Jul 2022

Despite apparent reversals in the direction of their interaction over the years, coffee intake remains inversely associated with ischaemic heart disease mortality on a country-level, reports a recent study.

Serum CTRP4 tied to coronary artery disease in T2DM

17 Jul 2022

In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), higher serum levels of circulating C1q tumour necrosis factor-related protein 4 (CTRP4) appear to aggravate the likelihood of coronary artery disease, a recent study has found.

Concomitant diltiazem use with DOACs pose increased bleeding risk in AF

16 Jul 2022

Taking diltiazem and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) together appears to contribute to increased bleeding risk in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), regardless of the presence of chronic kidney disease, as shown in a study.

Concomitant azole use may influence bleeding risk in AF patients on NOACs

15 Jul 2022 by

In a study evaluating azole use in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) on non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs), systemic exposure to the antifungal agent fluconazole was associated with an elevated risk of bleeding, particularly among those on apixaban. Conversely, no association was seen between NOACs and topical azoles*.

Genes for elevated blood pressure contribute to pre-eclampsia risk

15 Jul 2022

Genetic predisposition to high blood pressure appears to heighten the risks of pre-eclampsia, recurrent pre-eclampsia, and pre-eclampsia with severe features, a study has found.

Large avocado study: So-so effects on bulging waistlines, cardiometabolic risk factors

13 Jul 2022 by

Eating one avocado a day for 6 months does not appear to yield significant benefits in terms of slimming down the waist area and controlling risk factors associated with cardiometabolic disorders, according to data from Habitual Diet and Avocado Trial, which is said to the most extensive of its kind.
