Waist circumference (WC) trajectories are predictive of altered risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among adults, even among those without body mass index (BMI)-defined obesity, a study has shown. Such association appears higher in younger adults.
High-flow oxygen is not associated with an increase or a decrease in 30-day mortality, suggesting no benefit in most patients presenting with a suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS), reports a New Zealand study.
Older adult patients participating in a physical programme exhibit improvement in frailty status at 3 months, but such benefit is attenuated following a shift to a home-based programme, according to a study. Recruitment and retention to this intervention has also been challenging.
Blood biomarker panels prove to be useful in the prediction of two major complications of stroke, namely acute decompensated heart failure and respiratory tract infections, early after hospital admission, as shown in a study.
High consumption of ultra-processed food (UPF) may result in a heightened risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality, driven partly by its high sugar content, according to a study.
A short course of postpartum furosemide helps improve postpartum blood pressure recovery in women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, especially those without severe disease, a study has shown.
Exposure to air pollution impacts the methylation of immunoregulatory genes among children, and alters their immune cell and blood pressure profiles, according to a recent study.
Diets containing carbohydrates, regardless of its amount, may contribute to new-onset hypertension, with minimal risk evident at 50–55 percent carbohydrate intake, a study has found.
Being hospitalized for respiratory infections heightens the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and venous thromboembolism (VTE), especially in the first 30 days after discharge, a recent study has found.
The use of sympathomimetic decongestants does not seem to exacerbate the risk of stroke or myocardial infarction (MI), a recent study has found.
