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*.

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.

Do pecan nuts, extra-virgin olive oil offer some benefits on glycaemic profile in CAD patients?

13 Jul 2022

Adding pecan nuts or an extra-virgin olive oil to a healthy diet does not seem to substantially improve glycaemic and anthropometric parameters in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD), but it helps improve the quality of diet, suggests a study.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors linked to increased major cardiac events in the real world

12 Jul 2022 by

Treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in real-world settings is associated with a higher incidence of adverse cardiovascular events than traditionally reported in clinical trials, a retrospective cohort study has shown. Patients at risk include those with a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD), especially a history of heart failure (HF) or valvular heart disease (VHD).

Cardiovascular health metrics predict diabetes progression in prediabetic young adults

10 Jul 2022

Cardiovascular health (CVH) metrics may help in stratifying the risk of diabetes in young adults with prediabetes, suggests a recent study. Thus, improving CVH metrics may result in a reduced risk of developing diabetes.

CVD prevention better with ACE inhibitor–statin combo than monotherapy

08 Jul 2022

In patients with hypertension, combined treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors plus statins reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) at a greater magnitude as compared with ACE inhibitor monotherapy, a study has found.
