Use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) tends to elevate the risk of first-time hospitalization for heart failure (HF) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a study has shown. In addition, those with advanced age, elevated haemoglobin (Hb) A1c levels, and new users are particularly at higher risk.

A significant association exists between fasting plasma glucose (FPG) trajectories and the lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), reveals a study.

For patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who are scheduled to undergo metabolic surgery, the presence of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia at baseline may predict failure of T2DM remission after the procedure, according to a study.

Obesity appears to play a major role in the activation of the renin‒angiotensin‒aldosterone system (RAAS), with a noticeable rise of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and ACE activities during childhood, reveals a recent study. In addition, sex differences are present in the association of ACE and ACE2 activities with blood pressure (BP).

Intervene early. Cumulative exposure to common cardiovascular (CV) risk factors could be a harbinger of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in future.
