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.

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.

Low DHEA-S levels up risk of heart failure, death

06 Jan 2021

Low levels of dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S) contribute to a higher risk of heart failure (HF) and mortality, but not coronary heart disease (CHD), according to a study.

06 Jan 2021

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) who perform poorly on the 6-min walk test (6MWT) are at increased risk of cardiovascular (CV)-related hospitalizations, a study has found.

Low, high LDL-C levels tied to increased all-cause mortality risk

05 Jan 2021 by

Individuals with high or low levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are at higher risk of all-cause mortality, reveals a study in Denmark. On the other hand, those with an LDL-C concentration of 3.6 mmol/L (140 mg/dL) live the longest.
