Adding endothelial shear stress to stenosis severity may improve prediction of abnormal PET result

04 Sep 2020 by

A low-to-moderate positive association exists between lesion plaque burden (PB) and indices of endothelial shear stress (ESS), a recent study has shown. ESS, like PB, increases with stenosis severity and is higher in lesions paired with abnormal positron emission tomography (PET) results.

Anticoagulation holds promise for new-onset AF in sepsis

04 Sep 2020 by

Anticoagulation therapy may be of value to patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) associated with sepsis, easing the risk of all-cause mortality and ischaemic stroke without increasing the likelihood of major bleeding, reports a study presented at the Digital 2020 Congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).

Heavy periods, chronic hypertension in young women go hand in hand

04 Sep 2020

Heavy periods appear to have a bidirectional relationship with chronic hypertension among young women, such that the former is associated with subsequent risk of the latter and vice versa, according to a study.

Continuous flow ventricular assist devices do not worsen GI bleeding risk

03 Sep 2020

The use of continuous flow ventricular assist devices (VADs), regardless of the type, does not appear to exacerbate the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB), according to a recent meta-analysis.

Pregnancy, ovarian function hold clues to risk of female-specific CAD

31 Aug 2020

Having three or more pregnancies, early menopause, and a shorter reproductive life span all contribute to an increased risk of angiographic obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in postmenopausal women, according to a study.
