Thrombectomy impractical, may do more harm in patients with extensive stroke

09 Sep 2021

Endovascular treatment confers no benefit to patients with extensive stroke and may even contribute to an increased risk of haemorrhage and mortality, with the elderly being at the highest risk, a study has found.

PPI therapy not a risk factor for myocardial infarction, stroke

09 Sep 2021

There appears to be no evidence that proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) confer heightened risk of myocardial infarction or ischaemic stroke in the first decade after treatment initiation, according to a study.

Exposure to fine particulate pollution ups risk of hospitalization for CVD

08 Sep 2021

Heavy and extremely heavy fine particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5) pollution events appear to markedly increase the risk of hospital admission for cardiovascular disease (CVD), suggests a recent study.

Elevated uric acid levels heighten risk of cardiovascular disease

08 Sep 2021

Increased uric acid levels appear to contribute to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, such as coronary heart disease and stroke, among individuals with asymptomatic hyperuricaemia, and this association is independent from hyperuricaemia-related comorbidities, according to a study.

Edoxaban matches VKA post-TAVI, at a cost: ENVISAGE-TAVI AF

07 Sep 2021 by

The NOAC* edoxaban was noninferior to VKA** for the primary composite outcome of net adverse clinical events (NACE) after a successful TAVI*** in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but this comes at the cost of higher major bleeding rates, according to the ENVISAGE-TAVI AF# trial — thus leaving the question on the optimal antithrombotic strategies in AF after TAVI unanswered.

Upgrade to CRT yields volumetric benefits even for mild HF patients

05 Sep 2021

Upgrading to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) from right ventricular pacing appears to be viable even for patients with mild heart failure (HF), leading to improved left ventricular volumetric responses and clinical outcomes, a recent study has found.

NAFLD linked to cardiac autonomic nervous system dysfunction

04 Sep 2021

Patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are likely to have cardiac sympathetic/parasympathetic imbalance, regardless of the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus and other potential confounding factors, a study has found.

Comorbidities, discharge to rehab facility predict 30-day readmission in HF patients

03 Sep 2021

Discharge to a rehabilitation facility or home and certain comorbidities are significantly associated with a higher risk of 30-day all-cause readmission in patients with heart failure (HF), reveals a US study.

Wearable devices measure postoperative cardiac parameters in ICU

02 Sep 2021 by

Wearable photoplethysmography (PPG)-based devices can accurately measure cardiac-related parameters and may enable noninvasive monitoring in the immediate postoperative and intensive care settings, according to a recent study.

BP variability, SBP linked to dementia risk in ischaemic stroke patients

01 Sep 2021

A U-shaped association exists between achieved systolic blood pressure (SBP) and dementia among patients with a recent noncardioembolic ischaemic stroke, reveals a study, noting that high BP variability may contribute to an increased risk of poststroke dementia.
