Perfusion index may be indicative of diabetic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes

25 Jan 2020

Microcirculatory function appears to play a role in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in type 2 diabetes patients, a new study has shown. Perfusion index may be a novel indicator of DKD.

Big abdominal girth portends recurrent MI risk in men

24 Jan 2020 by

Big abdominal circumference in men may predict recurrence of cardiovascular events after a first myocardial infarction (MI) and this could well be a good prognosticator following acute coronary syndrome (ACS), a retrospective analysis has shown.

Substance abuse ups risk of heart failure hospitalizations, readmissions

23 Jan 2020 by

Substance-abuse disorders (SADs) are not at all uncommon among patients with heart failure (HF), according to a study. Several SADs independently correlate with HF-related emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations.

LVAD programme in Singapore shows success in advanced heart failure

23 Jan 2020 by

Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) improve survival and quality of life (QoL) in patients with advanced heart failure (HF). At the National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS), a mechanical cardiac support (MCS) programme in place since 2001 has shown a 2-year survival rate of 100 percent with the use of continuous flow pumps.

Smartwatch may identifies irregular pulse in AF patients

21 Jan 2020 by

A large-scale assessment of a smartwatch to identify atrial fibrillation (AF) during typical use, known as the Apple Health Study, has shown that the probability of receiving a digital alert of an irregular pulse is low, although more than four-fifths of the sent notifications are concordant with AF.

Anaemia risk factor for death in heart failure

19 Jan 2020

Anaemia increases mortality risk in heart failure (HF) patients across the ejection fraction (EF) spectrum, a recent study has found. The effect appears to be stronger in preserved (HFpEF) and midrange (HFmrEF) than in reduced (HFrEF) EF disease.
