Elevated homocysteine level ups mortality risk in hypertensive adults

20 Jan 2022

The interaction of hypertension and total plasma homocysteine (tHcy) levels contributes to the risk of all-cause mortality among middle-aged and older adults, a US study has found. In addition, hypertension may boost the ability of elevated tHcy to aggravate this risk.

NT-proBNP strongly linked to HFpEF risk among early menopausal women

20 Jan 2022

Menopause status does not appear to modify the association between N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), a biomarker of heart failure (HF), and the risk of HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), according to a study. However, this association is more pronounced among women on their early menopause.

Patients receptive to home-based cardiac telerehabilitation programs

17 Jan 2022 by

Patients seem to have positive opinions of home-based cardiac telerehabilitation programs, finding the usability, utility, and acceptability of such interventions to be good, according to a recent Singapore study. Nevertheless, these programs still have room for improvement, particularly as regards interactivity, peer interactions, and postintervention support.
