Erectile dysfunction in RA tied to lower risk of heart failure, myocardial infarction

05 Nov 2021 by

The incidence of erectile dysfunction (ED) is not statistically higher in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a study has found. ED also does not increase the overall rate of cardiovascular events in RA, but it contributes to an increased risk of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and a decreased risk of myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure (HF), and death.

TMVR outcomes in severe MR patients persist up to 2 years

05 Nov 2021

Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) in patients with severe symptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR) has sustained impact on severity of MR, reduction in heart failure hospitalization (HFH), and improvement in symptom through 2 years, a study has shown. Moreover, the first 3 months after the procedure show the highest all-cause mortality and need for HFH.

Plasma S-adenosylmethionine inversely tied to death risk in CAD

04 Nov 2021

Plasma S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is inversely associated with the risk of mortality in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after adjustment for homocysteine, S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), and other cardiovascular disease risk factors, a study has shown.

Choline, betaine lower risks of cardiovascular events, recurrent stroke

04 Nov 2021

Plasma choline pathway metabolites, including choline and betaine, appear to reduce the risks of cardiovascular events and recurrent stroke, as well as offer incremental value in risk discrimination and stratification in patients with ischaemic stroke, suggests a recent study.

Diets rich in whole grains, long-chain n–3 fatty acids boost plasma TMAO concentration

03 Nov 2021

A dietary pattern rich in long-chain n–3 fatty acids (LCn3) from marine foods or whole-grain cereals (WGCs) may substantially increase concentrations of plasma trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), results of a study have shown.

NOACs in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation with multimorbidity: Where does apixaban stand?

02 Nov 2021

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice, affecting millions of people globally. Stroke is one of its devastating complications, with the risk steeply increasing with advancing age. Additionally, AF is associated with more than a tripling of the risk of systemic embolic (SE) events. [J Am Heart Assoc 2020;9:e016724]

BP monitoring at home gathers most “likes” vs other methods

30 Oct 2021 by

People who need to check their blood pressure (BP) regularly to confirm if they have hypertension prefer BP monitoring done at home rather than at a clinic, kiosk, or through a 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM), suggest findings from the Blood Pressure Checks for Diagnosing Hypertension (BP-CHECK) trial presented at Hypertension 2021.
