Meta-analysis: Age is just a number with regard to lipid-lowering therapy

25 Jan 2021 by

The oldest patients get as much cardioprotective benefit from reducing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels as younger patients, according to a study, suggesting that age should pose no barrier to the use of lipid-lowering treatments.

Sotagliflozin SCORED favourably in patients with T2D, CKD

25 Jan 2021 by

Use of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor sotagliflozin led to a reduction in the risk of deaths from cardiovascular (CV) causes, hospitalizations for heart failure (HF), and urgent visits for HF compared with placebo among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) regardless of the degree of albuminuria, the SCORED* trial has shown.

Prediabetes negatively affects physical function

24 Jan 2021

Prediabetes contributes to faster functional decline and disability, irrespective of the future development of diabetes, a study suggests. This association is partly mediated by cardiovascular diseases.

Quitting smoking has varied effects on endothelial function

23 Jan 2021

Smoking cessation appears to have varying effects on endothelial function, eliciting different changes in flow-mediated dilation and the reactive hyperemia index, a recent study has found.

CTRP9 a potential biomarker for cardiac autonomic neuropathy in T2DM

23 Jan 2021

Levels of the C1q tumour necrosis factor-related protein 9 (CTRP9) adipokine correlate significantly and independently with cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in diabetics, a new study has shown.

Does the use of revascularization along with medical therapy improve CAD outcomes?

23 Jan 2021

While there may be no particular survival benefit to performing revascularization on top of medical therapy, the combination does seem to reduce the risk of poor outcomes, such as fatal myocardial infarction and unplanned revascularizations and stroke, recent meta-analysis reports.

Standing good for heart health

22 Jan 2021 by

Spending too much time sitting cannot be good for the body, and rising to one's feet breaks up such a behaviour and yields small, but meaningful, reductions in certain cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, according to the results of a meta-analysis.

Flavonoid-rich diet reduces risk of peripheral artery disease hospitalizations

22 Jan 2021 by

Consumption of a diet rich in flavonoids, found in almost all fruits and vegetables, can lower the risk of hospitalization for peripheral artery disease (PAD), revascularizations or endovascular surgery, and lower extremity amputations, according to a study.

Intermittent fasting improves cardiometabolic health in MetS patients

21 Jan 2021

Intermittent fasting (IF) appears to reduce cardiometabolic risk factors through the alteration of the gut microbial community and functional pathways in metabolic syndrome (MetS) patients, results of a recent study have shown.

Insulin clearance may be vascular damage indicator

20 Jan 2021

Among people at risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), lowered insulin clearance may be an early indicator of vascular damage independently of other classical cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, a recent study reports.
