A handful of peanuts a day keeps stroke, CVD risks at bay in Asians

17 Sep 2021 by

Eating even small amounts of peanuts every day is enough to lower the risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in both men and women, as shown in a recent study from Japan.

Age, disease history predict hospital readmission after first acute myocardial infarction

17 Sep 2021

Old age and a history of atrial fibrillation, heart failure, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease are associated with an increased risk for hospital readmission, suggests a study. Enhanced surveillance efforts and tailored educational and treatment approaches are needed.

CVD risk increases with intake of saturated fats from meat

16 Sep 2021 by

Regular intake of saturated fatty acids (SFA) from meat could increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk whereas dairy sources, grains, fruits, and vegetables could be cardio-protective, suggests a study in the UK.

Empagliflozin reduces CV death or HHF in HFpEF

16 Sep 2021 by

Empagliflozin significantly reduces the risk of cardiovascular (CV) death or hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) vs placebo in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) with or without diabetes, according to results of the EMPEROR-Preserved trial presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2021.

Pooled ORION analysis boosts lipid-lowering potential of inclisiran

15 Sep 2021 by

After the initial and 3-month doses, twice-yearly dosing of inclisiran led to effective and sustained LDL-C* reduction in patients with and without polyvascular disease (PVD**), according to a pooled analysis of the ORION-9, ORION-10, and ORION-11 phase III trials.

Serious adverse events may compromise functional outcome in stroke patients

15 Sep 2021

About one out of five patients develop severe complications following an acute ischaemic stroke, a study reports. These serious adverse events (SAEs) are more common among older and male patients and are tied to worse functional outcome.
