Liraglutide suitable for T2D patients regardless of heart failure history

18 Mar 2020

The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist liraglutide has been shown to be safe in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with or without a history of New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class I to III heart failure (HF), according to a study.

Postoperative atrial fibrillation after noncardiac surgery ups risk of stroke

18 Mar 2020 by

New postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) following noncardiac surgery appears to elevate the risk of stroke by 2.5 times, with the highest risk among patients undergoing nonthoracic noncardiac surgery, results of a systematic review and meta-analysis have shown.

Wearable sensor patch reliably predicts worsening heart failure

17 Mar 2020 by

A novel, wearable heart failure (HF) patch accurately predicted worsening HF and impending rehospitalization days before the event actually happened in adults who were recently discharged from hospitalization for HF (HHF), according to the LINK-HF* study.

Apixaban better than rivaroxaban in routine care of patients with atrial fibrillation

17 Mar 2020

Incidence of ischaemic stroke or systemic embolism is lower in adults with atrial fibrillation treated with apixaban than those prescribed rivaroxaban, results of a recent study have shown.

Hypertension prevalence varies depending on measurement technique

17 Mar 2020

There appears to be a significant difference in blood pressure (BP) values across measurement techniques, with unattended automated office systolic (S)BP being 10-mm Hg lower than office auscultatory or attended automated office (AO)BP values, a study has shown.

Wearable brain stimulation shows promise for motor function recovery after stroke

16 Mar 2020 by

A novel, noninvasive wearable brain stimulation device that delivers continuous transcranial magnetic stimulation to induce the brain to rewire itself significantly increases brain activity and is safe in patients with chronic ischaemic stroke — thus presenting a step forward to improving motor function after stroke, suggests a preliminary study presented at ISC 2020 Meeting.
