Cardiorespiratory fitness offsets aggravating effect of inflammation on sudden cardiac death

06 May 2022

Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and inflammation are both independently linked to sudden cardiac death (SCD) in middle-aged men, reports a recent study. However, better CRF seems to offset the impact of inflammation on SCD risk.

Women with nonvalvular AF less likely to receive oral anticoagulation, at higher risk of stroke

04 May 2022

Female patients nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) are less often prescribed guideline-recommended oral anticoagulation at the emergency department (ED), which in turn contributes to an increased stroke risk at 1 year regardless of discharge status, a study has found.

Among patients on concomitant treatment with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and dronedarone, no difference is seen in survival free from the composite endpoint (ie, clinically relevant bleeding, thromboembolic event, and all-cause death) and from clinically relevant bleeding between groups of coadministration, according to a study.
