Visceral fat measurement on CT imaging may predict CV events

12 Jan 2021 by

Using a fully-automated deep learning analysis of an abdominal computed tomography (CT) image to measure visceral fat area may predict future major cardiovascular (CV) outcomes, particularly heart attack and stroke, according to a study presented at RSNA 2020.

Abbreviated eptifibatide bolus-only regimen noninferior to, safer than conventional approach

11 Jan 2021

Add-on eptifibatide, infused intravenously, seems to be unnecessary for the adjunctive antithrombotic treatment during primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), a recent study has found.

2 eggs a day keep the heart doctor away

11 Jan 2021 by

Eating more than one egg a day does not result in any cardiovascular disease (CVD) but even appears to be preventive of coronary artery disease (CAD), suggest the results of a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Heart failure hospitalization still a problem among diabetics

10 Jan 2021

Among diabetic individuals, the incidence of hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) is low but not negligible, a new study finds. In addition, the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) could help suppress HHF.

Thyroid dysfunction only weakly predictive of survival in chronic heart failure

10 Jan 2021

While thyroid dysfunction does worsen survival among patients with chronic heart failure, there are other stronger predictive factors of adverse outcomes in these patients, a new study has shown.

Fibrosis tool also warns of CVD risk

Liver fibrosis, as determined by the fibrosis-4 score, is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in healthy people, a recent study has shown.

High plasma linoleic acid levels tied to cardiovascular risk factors

08 Jan 2021

A cross-sectional study in Norway reports the positive association of high plasma linoleic acid (LA) with several cardiovascular (CV) risk factors.

Statins may protect the heart from chemo for breast cancer

07 Jan 2021 by

Women who received statins were less likely than those who did not to have ED* visits or hospitalizations for heart failure (HHF) following chemotherapy with anthracyclines for early breast cancer (EBC) — suggesting that statins may protect the heart against damage induced by chemotherapy, at least among older women.

Visually assessed myocardial fibrosis plus quantified GZF tied to sudden death, arrhythmic events

07 Jan 2021 by

Myocardial fibrosis on visual assessment (MFVA) and quantified “gray zone” of myocardial fibrosis using the 3SD method (GZF3SD) more strongly predicts sudden cardiac death (SCD) and ventricular arrhythmia (VA) than reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), according to a study.
