Novel system predicts cardiorespiratory deterioration in children with single ventricle

01 Jul 2021

A real-time computer algorithm has been shown to provide 1 to 2 h of advanced warning for 62 percent of all cardiorespiratory deterioration events in children with single-ventricle physiology during the interstage period, reports a study. Furthermore, the new system generates only one alarm at the bedside per patient per day.

High-sensitivity cTnT implementation ups myocardial injury, infarction

01 Jul 2021

Implementation of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (cTnT) is associated with a significant increase in myocardial injury and myocardial infarction (MI), especially in women and patients with type 2 MI, reveals a study. Regardless, overall resource use has not increased, except for angiography.

High microbiota-accessible carbohydrates intake improves cardiometabolic risk factors in T2D

29 Jun 2021

Greater intake of microbiota-accessible carbohydrates (MACs) leads to improvement in glycaemic control, blood lipid, body weight, and inflammatory markers for individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) relative to lower MACs intake, a study has shown.
