Tryptophan, IPA levels tied to lower mortality in coronary artery disease

02 Nov 2022

Levels of indole-3-propionic acid (IPA), a microbiota-produced tryptophan metabolite, and plasma tryptophan appear to contribute to a reduced risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), reveals a prospective study.

RNA nanoparticle as novel agent for atherosclerosis treatment

02 Nov 2022 by

Researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) have developed a novel RNA nanoparticle that can target and treat atherosclerotic plaques without inducing severe toxicity, paving the way for the use of RNA nanotechnology in cardiovascular disease (CVD) management.

8-item score predicts death, MI risks in patients with acute coronary syndrome

01 Nov 2022

Researchers have recently developed and validated an 8-item score to calculate the risk of cardiovascular (CV) death and myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

Abnormal myocardial blood flow reserve predicts death in heart transplant recipients

31 Oct 2022

Heart transplant recipients appear to be at an increased risk of mortality or retransplantation if they have abnormal myocardial blood flow reserve (MBFR), even in the absence of epicardial cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV), according to a study.

CHD tied to better prognosis in infective endocarditis

31 Oct 2022

Among patients with infective endocarditis (IE), the presence of congenital heart disease (CHD) appears to be correlated with better short- and long-term outcomes, a new study has found.

Low ALA levels tied to worse prognosis in HF patients

30 Oct 2022

Lower levels of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) in serum phospholipids among patients with heart failure (HF) predict a poorer prognosis relative to the highest ALA levels, a recent study has shown.

Malnutrition negatively affects outcomes in AMI patients undergoing revascularization

29 Oct 2022

Acute myocardial infarction patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are at heightened risk of malnutrition, which is in turn associated with increased incidence of major bleeding, all-cause death, and major ischaemic event, according to data from the COREA-AMI registries.

High BMI in male teens tied to early AF with worse outcomes

28 Oct 2022

Adolescent boys with high body mass index (BMI) are highly likely to develop early-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) with subsequently worse clinical outcomes, including all-cause mortality, heart failure, and stroke, according to a study.
