Hypertension shows weak to no link to cognition in late life

13 Oct 2022

There appears to only be a very weak to no significant correlation between hypertension and cognitive function in late life, reports a recent study.

Cuff-based SBP amplification shows bias, less variability

13 Oct 2022

Cuff-based estimates of systolic blood pressure (SBP) amplification demonstrate proportional systematic bias and less individual variability regardless of the difference from invasive measurements, according to a recent study.

Add-on digital therapeutics more cost-effective than standard treatment for essential hypertension

13 Oct 2022

The combination of digital therapeutics (DTx) with the treatment-as-usual (TAU) strategy for essential hypertension is more cost-effective than TAU alone, a recent Japan study has found.

Early noninferior to delayed NOAC initiation after stroke in AF patients

13 Oct 2022

Early initiation of nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) after acute ischaemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) appears to yield similar outcomes when compared with delayed initiation, as shown in the results of the TIMING* study.

Depression tied to cold-induced blood pressure elevation

12 Oct 2022

Individuals with depressive symptoms are more susceptible to cold-induced increase in their blood pressure (BP) compared to nondepressive counterparts, suggests a Japan study.

Telmisartan does not deliver in peripheral arterial disease

11 Oct 2022

Treatment with the angiotensin receptor blocker telmisartan does not appear to confer improvements on walking performance in patients with lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD), according to the TELEX trial.

Adults with SBP increase over time at higher risk for CVD, stroke

11 Oct 2022

A slow increase in systolic blood pressure (SBP) trajectory has been observed over a follow-up period of nearly 7 years among adults aged 50‒70 years and who are not receiving any antihypertensive agent, a study has shown.

Liver stiffness, but not fatty liver disease, linked to atrial fibrillation

11 Oct 2022 by

Fatty liver disease does not seem to contribute to prevalent or incident atrial fibrillation (AF), but higher liver stiffness does, particularly among individuals without steatosis, reports a recent study.

Norwegian cheese variant may keep bone weakening at bay

10 Oct 2022 by

Consuming Jarlsberg cheese – a type of Norwegian cheese that contains long-chained vitamin K2 and DHNA* – may help fend off bone weakening, a study from Norway has shown. What’s more, it appears to do so without adversely affecting lipid levels, even extending its benefit to glycated haemoglobin levels.

Statin plus ezetimibe combo for lower LDL-C targets effective at reducing stroke risk

10 Oct 2022

Treatment with the combination of statin and ezetimibe to achieve a low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) target of <70 mg/dL works well to consistently reduce the risk of subsequent stroke, according to a post hoc analysis of the Treat Stroke to Target (TST) trial.
